11:20 → 11:40 Meetings & updates

- ROD team update - EGI ops UMD/EMI tarball release for the workernode. Any news? Minutes of the last EGI ops meeting: https://www.egi.eu/indico/getFile.py/access?resId=0&materialId=minutes&confId=766. - Nagios status - Tier-1 update - Security update -- T2 issues -- General notes. There is a GDB next week: https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=155065. It will use Vidyo. The previous day there is a TEG outcomes workshop: https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=158775. This will also use Vidyo. Is there any feedback or comment(s) about the TEG meetings last week? - Tickets Some site's tracking of their tickets might be in disarray after Thursday's GGUS hiccup. BRUNEL (26th) https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=78624 biomed have batch system problems. No site response as of 16.00 today (30th), ticket was accidentially closed then reopened so might have slipped through the cracks. CAMBRIDGE https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=78629 lhcb pilots dying with the unhelpful "Got a job held event, reason: Job failed, no reason given by GRAM server". Did Santanu track down the cause? Last update 26th. DURHAM https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=78456 Still some errors due to the certificate expiry the other week. Did everything get restarted that needed to be? Or is this something else? Sam mentions LFC_host today. https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=78447 The certificate has changed focus, now involves a missing $VO_ENMR_EU_SW_DIR variable on the cluster... being followed up today. https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=78428 Again, the ticket has changed focus and now seems to indicate problems with some biomed users not recieving mappings. 31st - Sam has commented but ticket not 'waiting for reply'. LANCASTER https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=78646 This is a similar ticket to 75960, with biomed complaining about dodgey output for our site from an lcg-infosites command. I don't think Chris' wrapper will work due to his solution being for a dcache SE. I'll be taking it to the storage group. Do other sites see this kind of problem?
