There was a GDB the week before last: https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=155065.
Areas covered:
For those interested in the Technical Evolution Group summaries presented on the Tuesday look here: https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=158775.
Site dashboards: http://dashb-siteview.cern.ch/templates/siteview/index.html
EMI status: Planned updates http://bit.ly/all_active_tasks. See also discussion on end of security patching.
LHCOPN & LHCONE: http://lhcone.net. IPV6 CERN-KIT. Perfsonar dashboard improved https://perfsonar.usatlas.bnl.gov:8443/exda/?page=25&cloudName=LHCOPN. And the LHCONE dashboard (15 members) https://130.199.185.78:8443/exda/?page=25&cloudN ame=LHCONE.
Security - for interest.
Storage accounting: Definition of usage record for storage. Going OGF UR 1 route. SE sensors in place by May. Publishing around June.
RFC/SHA-2 proxies: IGTF would like CAs to move from SHA-1 to SHA-2 signatures ASAP, to anticipate concerns about the long-term safety of the former. For WLCG this implies using RFC proxies instead of the
Globus legacy proxies in use today. 10 months to get ready for RFC and SHA-2. There are various pieces of middleware and experiment-ware that need to be made ready for SHA-2 or RFC proxy support. For EMI products the current time line is the EMI-2 release in April/May.
Pete's report will appear here: https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GDB_reports.
Representation for the March meeting!?
The focus is expt. operations updates: https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=155066.
- Tickets
The NGI:
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=78991
The ticket documenting the removal of the email address field from the gridpp voms server's certificate. This ticket has evolved to include the fate of the e-mail address field in the host certificates.
RAL Tier-1
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=79283
LHCB were having job problems on the CREAM CEs, requiring a purging of lhcb jobs. This was done and it looks like problems don't persist. Can this ticket be closed?
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=77026
RAL BDII problem noticed by Chris. I need to check up on this, repeating Chris' original simple test would be a good start.
UCL:
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=79276
Atlas blacklisted the site due to a SRM downtime, which itself caused some confusion (the downtime was originally set as "warning" rather then "outage", and then after the mistake was rectified the gocdb defaulted the downtime back to "warning" when Ben extended the length of the downtime - that's a feature to look out for).
MANCHESTER:
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=78776
Ops tests failing due to "lack of space". Kashif mentions ticketing the dpm developers or somehow figuring out a workaround. Sounds like we need to refer it to the storage group.
QMUL:
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=77959
Atlas deletion errors on the QMUL Storm SE. Has Chris had a chance to come back to it after his holiday?
