Tickets:

• VO-box access (GGUS 168905)

Operational issues:

• Failed uploads from RAL WNs to CERN (GSTM-235)
  
  • The workflow that uses this channel turned out to be not very new -- used by more than a year
  • Failures started only recently
  • Can we get network plots for the affected generations to confirm/disprove suspected network issue? 
• Site network problems this mornig
  
  • Caused some upload and job failures

14:10 → 14:20 VO Liaison ALICE

Speaker: Alexander Rogovskiy (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory)

Network issue this morning had minor impact.

14:20 → 14:30 VO Liaison LSST

Speaker: Timothy John Noble (Science and Technology Facilities Council STFC (GB))

FTS now running slow due to only one node remaining in LCGFTS for internal tests for various issues

LSST note there is a problem between FTS01 and Echo, all transfers that involve 01 and echo fail, while other endpoints are fine

Tom moving forward with VOBox access for LSST - plan to use LSST VO certs for access - move VOBox to outside access to allow this rather than jump through the UI
