Experiment problems/issues (20')    
Review of weekly issues by experiment/VO
- LHCb

- CMS
 
- ATLAS
-- Outcomes from the jamboree?


- Other
 
- Site performance
-- http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~lloyd/gridpp/ukgrid.html

-- Relative stability - http://gridmap.cern.ch/gm/
-- Concern from Brunel about test nodes causing degraded status in GridMap. Useful reference: http://goc.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gocwiki/GOCDB_User_Documentation (to be mentioned at UKI meeting)
-- Also issue with experiment SAM tests. When do they mark all of a site as down? Are the results accurate or specific to special nodes/queues?

ROC update
***************
Several comments on R-GMA tickets (wrongly assigned). Of interest here perhaps:

# " SouthWestern:  LIP complains that ATLAS is using 5 GB on the Workenodes /tmp directory. LIP s WN have 8 cores and most of the disk space is dedicated to the /home directories. Maybe it would be useful to know for all the LHC VOs the disk requiremets for /home and TMPDIR (the scratch space) pero job

Comment from chair (Steve) see the CIC portal VO cards. They contain exactly this information. Clearly if it does not reflect your observations raise a GGUS ticket. "

Also

A new version of the SAM portal is available on the Validation server at:

https://sam-val.cern.ch:8443/sam-gw/sam.py

The portal solves the broken history display of previous versions by invoking the corresponding GridView pages. The Portal at the above URL points to the Production DB, since GridView has no Validation setup. Users are encouraged to have a look and give any feedback to judit.novak at cern. 

Finally, the OSCT list has been moved from CERN to IN2P3. (Note MM away).

WLCG update
*****************

- GDB follow up  (http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=45461): 
-- Improving change management 
-- Responses on TB-SUPPORT confirm mood within deployment team. Will discuss in more detail on Thursday.
