Notes from Meeting.

Teir-1 Liaison 20/11/2019

Attendee's RobA Marcello, Jose, Darren, Brian, Raja, Alistair

QUESTION Raja, when was the xrootd reboots done - during the last liaison meeting. There was an elog entry.

ACTION DM : GGUS#144015, orig issue resolved. Create new RT ticket regards optimising processing. Close the orig ticket.

ACTION DM : GGUS#143762. Possible to tailor the queues per VO, however the risk outweighs the gain. We might break something we haven't anticipated i.e. accounting. This ticket to be closed as we aren't going to "resolve". SL6 to be supported up until end of Nov 2020.

ACTION AD : GGUS#143669 not progress

ACTION Raja : GGUS#143323 : Add some statistics to tickets showing improvement (or not!)

GGUS#142350 : Double read issue, no apparent improvement. GGUS#143645 (solved), however ticket listed 3 possible solutions, the working solution(s), has not been identified.

QUESTION Raja, why are some WN's more susceptible that other, no one seems to have an answer. Possibly more jobs running on the node, the more likely something will fail. Failure rate can be as much as 20%.

DIRAC used because of late binding functionality, this seems the be kicking LHCb.

ACTION Raja Further investigation required to differentiate between user and production jobs.

ACTION Marcello to ensure the caches are working on the gateways.

DUNE ran test jobs at RAL, loaded 1500 jobs, we got 10. However, there are not enough DUNE jobs to go around! RAL is processing them correctly.

ACTION Raja : How does DUNE allocate jobs to sites


Attendee's Brian, Alastair, Darren, Katy, GeorgeP, Jose, TomB, Raja, TimA Tier-1 Liaison 11/12/2019

Raja, Tom. Raja waiting for Echo upgrade - Mimic - LHCb think this is a silver bullet. Issues this week, planned test (as per liaison report, AoD.

LFC should be Frontier Err in report

Ref last SN failer, next year

ACTION Tom to look at disabling swap on ALL SN's in new year (2020).

GeorgeP starting to delete Alice file decommissioning.

20 disc servers in racks need to be moved – pre-production, 1off Alice in this rack.

Delete files on that server first hen decommission

Clearing of namespace to complete next week.

Fabric running late on decommissioning so will leave server to clear. will not impact rack decommissioning.

AD to update snoplus ticket

VO issues, decommissioning Frontier.

Disabled Atlas side Monday, few jobs caught out because of old config or running for long length of time.

Will wait ~another day, let jobs finish then stop service

Extra squid added to list, request should be submitted soon or won’t get done this year/decade
