      CMS Operations Report 5m
      Speaker: Katy Ellis (Science and Technology Facilities Council STFC (GB))

      Problems today and yesterday with various parts of the system - CMS SAM tests, CRAB submissions, anything else that needs to generate a regular voms proxy. By the end of this morning Maarten Litmaath says it is fixed - waiting for green SAM tests. This is on top of the issues with the UK-CA - as far as I know this is not causing any problems currently in CMS production. 

      Production jobs in last 30 days: some spikes of job failures with 'file open' type errors, using remote reads. Probably related to issues with AAA.

      LHCb Operations Report 5m
      Speaker: Alexander Rogovskiy (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory)

      All quiet in the last couple of weeks.

      Staging of the 2025 turbo stream data is ongoing, all data at RAL has been staged. The 2026 starts soonish.

      Operational issues:

      • MCSimulation job failures due to CPU limit
        • The fix has been prepared and should be deployed in the next DIRAC release (probably next week)
    • 13:50 → 13:55
      ALICE Operations Report 5m
      Speaker: Alexander Rogovskiy (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory)
      • Potential xrootd version problem after the EOS upgrade on the preprod tape SE instance
      • A sandbox for installing mlsensor is ready -- is it OK to test it on one of the Alice gateways/redirectors?
