DTeam Minutes Attendees Jeremy Coles Mingchao Ma Greig Cowan Frederic Brochu Duncan Rand Andrew Elwell Derek Ross Experiment Issues LHCb ==== Upgrade to gLite 3.1 UI suffering proxy problems LHCb created their own proxy creation command to work around this CMS === Wanting some Tier 1 cover over Christmas Will be continuing Castor testing over Christmas Atlas ===== Running out of diskspace in UKCloud - will not run production over Christmas, focussing on moving files from T2 back to T1 Migration from dCache starting in January Other ===== crypto VO is now set up - will sites be supporting it? Are sites intending to continue banning biomed user? ROC update ========== GOCDB changes ------------- Change to GOCDB fields - Nodes can now be 4 types of core status Grid Federation VO Not core What does the Production status for a node affect? Accounting ---------- Sync test show time of last publishing e.g. : http://goc02.grid-support.ac.uk/rss/UKI-NORTHGRID-MAN-HEP_Sync.html UCL-Central in maintenance until 30th December - is this correct? IC-HEP should be fixed now. Monitoring ---------- ECDF - should they be removed from production? Site should be decertified by the end of the week if not fixed. OPS meeting ----------- Sync problem between GOCDB and SAM. Is it possible to set up site BDII and CE GRIS on same system? Yes, but both must be specified on yaim command line. Dutch CA revoked several certificates but several websites still accepted them SAM test timeouts - need to raise a ticket Holiday Running =============== Scotgrid at risk RHUl down Areas requiring attention in 2008 ================================= Disaster Planning Nagios Integration - Andrew Elwell testing - can pull SAM test results into nagios Site upgrades before CCRC08 - SRM2.2 CA Rollover ROC Storage security challenge Actions Review ============== AOB === Next meeting 8th January 2008 CCRC meeting 10th Jan

11:00 → 11:20 Experiment problems/issues

Review of weekly issues by experiment/VO - LHCb -- Data migration continues - CMS -- Plan to continue CASTOR testing over the Christmas period - ATLAS -- Panda submissions over coming weeks depend on CASTOR disk space availability - Other -- camont will be running a challenge on 2M images -- crypto VO support? Access for biomed user.

11:20 → 11:35 ROC update

* GOCDB information: - There is now a new field related to node type. This determines to whom any automated broadcasts are sent. This change seems to have slipped through! The default is "not a core node". * Accounting: - IC-HEP & QMUL why always a slight delay? - UCL-CENTRAL (still in maintenance until 30th December) * Monitoring: - UKI-SCOTGRID-ECDF. Should this site now be removed from production? * ROC manager update: - Last ROC manager's meeting was on 11th December: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=23751. No update on last comments. * Ops meeting: - Issue about difficulty of performing COD work with synchronisation problem between GOC DB and SAM. Tickets #30046 and #30306 are about this problem (relates to nodes changing status). - (France) With Glite3.0, it seems that GRIS is now implemented with a BDII (instead of globus-mds) for LCG-CE node. In such a case, is it still possible to combine LCG-CE and site BDII on the same machine ? If yes, how to configure this combined node with YAIM? - Several Grid services still accepting certificates days after the Dutch CA revoked them. - SAM test timeouts and consequent result -> Need to raise a ticket. - GridView has a twiki page that may be of interest: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki//bin/view/LCG/GridView. * Ticket status: - See link in section heading
