RAL Tier1 Operations Report for 31st May 2017
Review of Issues during the week 24th to 31st May 2017. |
- There is a specific problem with Castor affecting LHCb when a TURL returned by the SRM does not always work when used for xroot access owing to an incorrect hostname. This is now largely understood although not yet fixed.
- A problem of ARP poisoning on the Tier1 network is affecting some monitoring used by CEPH ECHO. Attempts to understand the source and cause of this are taking place.
- There is a problem on the site firewall which is causing problems for some specific data flows. It was being investigated in connection with videoconferencing problems. It is not clear if this could be having any effect on our services.
- ECHO deletions ??? (GGUS ticket)
Resolved Disk Server Issues |
- GDSS724 (AtlasDataDisk - D1T0) Crashed on Wednesday evening (157th May). It was returned to service, intially read-only, on the 19th. Three zero-sized files lost at time of crash.
Current operational status and issues |
- We are still seeing a rate of failures of the CMS SAM tests against the SRM. These are affecting our (CMS) availabilities. CMS are also looking at file access performance and have turned off "lazy-download". This will be re-addresses once we have upgraded to Castor 2.1.16.
- LHCb Castor performance has been OK since the 2.1.16 update although this was not under and high load. A load test (mimicing the stipping/merging campain) is being carried out with LHCb today (24th May). Comment on load test.
Ongoing Disk Server Issues |
- GDSS773 (LHCbDst - D1T0) crashed on Sunday (21st May). Investigations are ongoing.
- GDSS804 (LHCbDst - D1T0) was taken out of production yesterday as it was showing memory errors. These are still being checked out.
Limits on concurrent batch system jobs. |
- CMS Multicore 550
Notable Changes made since the last meeting. |
- CMS Castor instance updated to Castor version 2.1.16-13 and the CMS SRMs also upgraded to version 2.1.16.
- CEs being migrated to use the load balancers in front of the argus service.
- Work ongoing to enable batch access for CCP4, LIGO and MICE.

Advanced warning for other interventions |
The following items are being discussed and are still to be formally scheduled and announced. |
Pending - but not yet formally announced:
- Update Castor (including SRMs) to version 2.1.16. Central nameserver and LHCb and Atlas stagers done. Current plan: CMS stager and SRMs on Thursday 25th May. GEN to follow.
- Update Castor SRMs - CMS & GEN still to do. These are being done at the same time as the Catsor 2.1.16 updates.
Listing by category:
- Castor:
- Update SRMs to new version, including updating to SL6.
- Update Castor to version 2.1.16 (ongoing)
- Merge AtlasScratchDisk into larger Atlas disk pool.
- Networking
- Increase OPN link to CERN from 2*10Gbit to 3*10Gbit links.
- Enable first services on production network with IPv6 now that the addressing scheme has been agreed. (Perfsonar already working over IPv6).
- Services
- Put argus systems behind a load balancers to improve resilience.
- The production FTS needs updating. This will no longer support the soap interface. (The "test" FTS , used by Atlas, has already been upgraded.)
