Points to note: - gLite3.1.0-PPS-UPDATE10 was released to PPS. Results of the pre-deployment tests are here: http:www.cern.ch/pps/index.php?dir=./release/testreports/. - release of gLite3.1 Update07 expected in production sometime this week and includes: # jobWrapper tests - new version with no R-GMA dependencies # glite-VOMS_mysql metapackage for gLite 3.1 and SL(C)4 # glite-VOMS_oracle metapackage for gLite 3.1 and SL(C)4 # Bug fixes for UI and WN - Looking for a user community interested to try out the newly released postgres-based version of AMGA and a site to do pre-deployment tests of AMGA. Anyone interested? - Some SGE accounting issues have arisen in Germany and may be of relevance: https://gus.fzk.de/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=29426 https://gus.fzk.de/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=29550 - Of interest... "CERN-PROD: Submission storm due to WMS bug. affecting CMS. This started on Tuesday evening went on until Thursday evening, and overloaded both the batch system and the CEs hosting the jobs. Due to this CERN hosted more than 30k GRID jobs for quite some time, and we passed a limit on the maximum number of jobs allowed in the batch system. This limit was increased from 50k to 75k to allow new submissions." - [Russia] It seems like some users try to submit jobs to the sites bypassing RB/WMS system, directly using CE job submission APIs or globus tools. What should we do with this (i.e.: don't care, encourage, prohibit in some way)? - BNL-LCG2 saw several problems with Panda monitoring machines crashing

- What's happening with the RBs at RAL? Upgrade?? http://hepwww.ph.qmul.ac.uk/~lloyd/gridpp/rbtest.html. Phenogrid have recently complained about the RAL RBs vs Glasgow's - what are the main difference factors (load?). - The ATLAS tests today look rather RED due to a test problem no doubt. - SAM monthly: The monthly average figures for November are now on the website (http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/SAM_availability:_Monthly_summary_table). Generally this shows on going improvement and the PMB wanted to congratulate the DTEAM for this result. - SAM recent: Sheffield has improved. Cambridge was stable but now appears to osciallate. Several LT2 sites struggling - UCL (HEP & CENTRAL); QMUL & RHUL.
