    https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/OpsMeetingPps
  • <big> gLite Release News</big>
  • <big> EGEE issues coming from ROC reports </big>
    • IT-ROC: Most of the errors (lcg-cr test for CE) at Italian sites (last night until early this morning), were due to our top-bdii egee-bdii.cnaf.infn.it: one of the dns configured on it was unreachable, so the bdii has been emptied.

    • SEE ROC:Some middleware components do not like 3 years period logs (which it is a requirement) due to system limits, please see the corresponding ticket at https://gus.fzk.de/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=48291 .

    • SWE ROC: 32bit binaries overwrite 64bit binaries for lcg-utils (installation of WNs)

  • <big>Grid Service Interventions </big>

    OSG Items
    Speakers: Maria Dimou, Rob Quick (OSG - Indiana University)
    • Discussion of open tickets for OSG
      OSG
      Information on GOCdb-to-OIM migration for USA wLCG T1 sites
      • ggus #44104. This ticket is waiting on the OSG GOC to roll out changes to their production BDII that will publish entries by their OSG resource group, not the OSG resource name. This will remove this issue before it gets to the BDII. Next action deadline in OIM is in Feb 2010. Should we close as unsolved to free the escalation reports?
      • ggus #37059. Urgent ticket re-opened. Please have a look.
      • ggus #47786. Site concerned is Nebraska. Urgent. Submitted 2009-04-08! Some OSG reminders remain unanswered by the site (?) The submitter arbitrarily decided no LHCb jobs should be submitted at the Nebraska site but this is not the opinion of the VO management. A generic queue to be used when resources are spare would be appreciated.
