RAL Tier1 Operations Report for 30th July 2018

Review of Issues during the week 23rd July to the 30th July 2018.
  • Every circuit breaker located in Tier-1's R89 building was tested between Tuesday 24th - Thursday 26th July. This testing period was completed successfully. The majority of racks were powered by dual PDUs which were on different circuit breakers and so theoretically, nothing should have gone down. In reality 23 PDUs failed over the 3 day period. This was within the expected number of failures although it was at the highest end of our estimates. We had sufficient replacement PDUs.
  • Impact to Tier-1:
    • 2 Production Castor disk servers went down with temporary lost of access to some file access.
    • Castor transfer manager went down for ATLAS, lost of ability to schedule new transfers for ~20 minutes.
    • A few SL5 machines also went down. No impact on service but a useful reminder to get them decommissioned properly.
    • It should be worth noting that two Echo storage nodes went down with no impact on service. This happened because their power cables weren’t correctly fitted.
    • GOCDB service was down for 45 minutes. It wasn’t directly a result of the power testing it was failed network switch (GOCDB is not on Tier-1 network, so this failure did not impact the Tier-1). The read only version (in Germany) stayed up. EGI broadcast was sent out a few minutes after the service went down.
