- SR: Large number of updates in UMD2, and UMD1. In particular, in theUMD1 release, the DPM, LFC and L&B are security updates. The UMD2 WMS is _not_ backwards compatible, without a workaround, as describe in the release notes: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/UMD-2:UMD-2.4.0
- EMI-3 release expected 7th March, UMD-3 prioritisation underway
- Argus should be in the Site-BDII; it had the information provider from the EMI-2 release, so it's probably a plan to update EMI-1 Argus's. (As should VOMS servers; they've had the information providers in all EMI releases)

Monday 1st April 20:00 BST</br>
27 Open UK tickets, but we'll have to wait until next week for a full review of them all as Matt's on leave this week and sending his apologies for tomorrow's meeting - nothing's striking him as urgent although someone on the ROD/Ops team might want to look at https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=92512 (Wahid has set it to waiting for reply, there might be some confusion over who needs to do the replying).
In the meant time if you aren't on leave too then please have a gander at your sites tickets and see if there's ought that needs your attention:

Otherwise he'll catch y'all next week, by then hopefully he will have stopped referring to himself in the third person again.

| Tools - MyEGI Nagios
|
Tuesday 13th November
- Noticed two issues during tier1 powercut. SRM and direct cream submission uses top bdii defined in Nagios configuration to query about the resource. These tests started to fail because of RAL top BDII being not accessible. It doesn't use BDII_LIST so I can not define more than one BDII. I am looking into that how to make it more robust.
- Nagios web interface was not accessible to few users because of GOCDB being down. It is a bug in SAM-nagios and I have opened a ticket.
Availability of sites have not been affected due to this issue because Nagios sends a warning alert in case of not being able to find resource through BDII.

Monday 26th February 2013
- NGS VOMS server. Durham fixed. Last site is Glasgow, and I'm running tests now. Hopefully this should now be fixed https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=90356 - note that this has taken 3 months to complete.
- SNO+ reports lcg-cp timeouts for large files. I suspect this is a problem with the UI.
- Issues with Proxy renewal.
- Certificate for RAL myproxy server doesn't match advertised hostname (how does this work at all?).
- Other myproxy issues as well. GGUS#99105 GGUS#9172
SNO+ Questions
- Jobs appear to fail, but have uploaded output and it is in LFC
- MC production
- Want 2-3 people managing this
- Shifters monitoring sites and filing tickets
- How best to manage certificates - currently upload two proxies to myproxy - one for jobs to renew and one for the UI to renew.
- How best to do this - should they use a robot cert?
