11:00 → 11:20 Experiment problems/issues

Review of weekly issues by experiment/VO - LHCb - CMS - CMS has decided to have its own security challenge - I could send a link to the slides but if you are outside of CMS you cannot see them so there is little point. If you are inside CMS follow the link in Ken's digest of the ops meeting - The future work as discussed in the slides I forwarded to the PMB yesterday. I guess the slides themselves should not be circulated outside CMS and the GridPP PMB but the masic direction is no secret. - There have been a couple of problems over the last couple of weeks at various sites (including Imperial), however even given this the only UK site below the "magic 80%" is Bristol (for the reasons that we understand and hope that the consolidated grant will help to fix). - ATLAS No major problem for UK sites * Durham is in DT, https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=84123 is still opened * At ATLAS ADC weekly meeting last Tuesday a deadline for a usage of glite nodes was discussed: - gLite 3.2 middleware components no longer under security support (since 1st August 2012) - EGI CSIRT expects migration away as soon as possible and no later than 1st October 2012 - From 1st November 2012 sites still deploying the unsupported gLite 3.2 software components mentioned above will be asked to migrate to supported software immediately or to shutdown services - In Atlas sites in Roma and Frascatti (DPM sites) EMI-2 WNs are in production for a several weeks (but there is a problem with DPM libraries at 32 bits - see attached talk) - upgrading DPM to EMI-2 not straightforward - WLCG MB has also discussed the schedule for migration from glite to EMI (possibility to extend the end of glite3.2 beyond october) - ATLAS cannot push sites to go fully to EMI - ADC will issue an official position on this problem in the coming weeks. - Other
