ATLAS to check if they know of any conflicts between SL kernel version 2.6 and either the application software or the middleware. Progress on 2006-12-11: Atlas was not present at the meeting, we’ll check offline Progress on 2006-12-18: Alessandro DeSalvo says in respect of the ATLAS application there is no problem. The only issue might raise (but not sure at all) from the Oracle client in the production system (which anyway has only 4 instances in the all Grid) and the Data Management Clients in the VOBOXES. So as long as this discussion does not refer to VOBOXes, this is OK. The VOBOXes (only 10 nodes for atlas, one at each T1) will need to be considered some time soon. I will get in touch with Miguel for this. The action can be closed. |

Conclude on "Policy for security updates of third party software". The gLite integration team policy is: the external packages are not guaranteed to be maintained. They are provided for convenience. They are maintained by their providers. The reality is that they will be maintained on best effort. To be clarified with the security team. Progress on 2006-11-27: being discussed with OSCT and SA3 Progress on 2006-12-04: This item was discussed during the meeting. Waiting for SA3 to create the final list of external packages which need to be maintained. Progress on 2007-01-15: Waiting for feedback from SA3. Progress on 2007-01-29: Waiting for feedback from SA3. There is a proposal to focus on removing all unnecessary dependencies within the gLite code which will probably impact this item, so the deadline will be extended. Progress on 2007-02-12: From Oliver: The progress to date is here; https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/EGEE/SourceTarballs In other words, some sorting of the externals; identification of what is maintained or out-of-date, what can be reclassified etc. There is a plan being drawn up for a big effort on reducing the external dependencies. If I remember correctly, this plan is due next week. I think it's best to wait for that. The work done so far will be fed into this plan. Progress on 2007-02-19: No update. Progress on 2007-03-05: (Update offline after the meeting) A gLite restructuring plan has been worked out by the integration, middleware and operations teams to make a radical examination of the code base with a view to removing unnecessary dependencies and cleaning up sections of the code that cause build and porting difficulties. We following tasks have to be well advanced before the execution of the plan can be started. The EGEE PMB monitors the progress every second week. - Move to SL4 on worker nodes and user interface - Move to ETICS build infrastructure - Stabilization and scalability of WMS and LB - Stabilization and scalability of the gLite-CE Even if the plan execution has not started, the developers have already started cleaning the dependencies while porting to the new build system. I would propose to close this action as
it is being tracked somewhere else, and come back with information to the
operations meeting once it is ongoing. |

SAM still handles timezones incorrectly. Maintenance on Fri 20th scheduled for 14:00 - 16:00 UTC but SAM show maintenance incorrectly at 08:04 UTC and in error at 14:02 UTC, i.e. wrongly during our maintenance Judit: the timestamp is taken by SAM directly from the GOCDB as it is registered. GOCDB seems not to correctly convert time zones. GOC DB people will look into the problem together with Judit who will send all the details already found. Progress on 2007-05-07: This now looks like it might be a SAM issue. Still under investigation. Progress on 2007-05-14: Judit is following up Progress on 2007-05-21: Bug opened in |

We set up a 2nd lcg gateway for redundancy. But if either goes down, SAM flags us as being down, thereby defeating the purpose of the 2nd gateway. Of course we are still operational, only SAM is marking us incorrectly. How can this be improved? I was told CERN runs multiple gateways, how do they handle this? 2. We need to split the cmswnNNN accounts on the 2 gateways since they operate independently Judit: SAM considers the gateways separately as two computing elements and they are both monitored. The issue has to be followed off-line between SAM support and FNAL. Progress on 2007-05-14:Judit is following up Progress on 2007-05-21: SAM support didn't find the problem they reported, and has explained them that they only see the expected behavior of SAM; any additional comment from the originators or can we close this action? Update from FNAL: FNAL is checking again if they appear as completely down when only one CE is down. Test being done now, more news next week. Progress on 2007-04-06: according to
Joe Kaiser and Judit Novak, the issue is solved. |

UKI-SCOTGRID-GLASGOW had to clear jobs which were stalled due to lcg-cr commands hanging (http://scotgrid.blogspot.com/2007/05/users-and-stalled-jobs.html). No response from biomed user who was responsible for most of these (https://gus.fzk.de/pages/ticket_details.php?ticket=22717). User will be banned from our site if no response is forthcoming. We believe this is a reasonable policy for our site, but are there official guidelines on this? Steve has contacted Romain to see if there is anything existing on this policy area. Romain forwarded a proposal to the OSCT, under discussion. Progress on 2007-06-25: mail sent to Romain to check progress Progress on 2007-07-02: The ticket has been
solved and closed. Seemed to be a problem on the remote SE,
which was uncovering a low level bug in the gridftp v1 code. See also

FTS development team and integration release team to remove FTS 2.0 from production repository Progress on 2007-07-02: Gavin distributed a proposal on 3/07/07 to the T1s about how to proceed: "To avoid prematurely upgrading to FTS 2.0 from the production repository the gLite integration team suggest disabling or removing the gLite apt or yum config files on the FTS server nodes, since going back to previous gLite release it not trivial with the current system." If we do the staged-release thing again, we will keep the 'new' version in the PPS repository until it is time for wider deployment. FYI. The patch for the new version of FTS 2.0 has entered gLite integration (with a variety of bug fixes, as found on the FTS pilot service and on CERN-PROD) Progress on 2007-07-09: check with Gavin Progress on 2007-07-16: no objection from T1s. the action can be closed. |

Publish dates and features of the next gridview release Progress on 2007-07-02: After the discussions between the gridview team and WLCG a decision was made that the sites have to confirm if the new availability calculation is acceptable for them. This means that the algorithm will have to be presented to them (not yet agreed exactly when and how), and a release can come only following that. So for the time being Gridview can't present neither the new
features coming with the next release (as they might need to be changed), nor
the approximate time of the release (unsure yet). |

Decide whether the severity of the broker-info test needs to be temporarily down graded from critical. Update 3/07/07: The problem was
found to be that the LINUX “which” command was not supported at the site. It
is expected that this command should be available at all sites and so the SAM
test does not need to be changed. This item can be closed. |

What is the status of the VO configuration tool in the CIC portal? Is it available? Progress on 2007-05-14: work in progress, we’ll report in the coming weeks Progress on 2007-04-06: update requested by mail to the CIC portal team: The Oracle migration is complete. So are the small modifications of the way VO registrations are handled in the YAIM VO Configurator tool (the use of the CIC VO table and the difference in the way "official" and "non-official" registrations are handled). What is needed is just some more tests before i commit the code in the IN2P3 CVS repository Progress on 2007-06-25: 1st version being tested by the CIC team. It will be put in production with an intermediate step: web service at cern and DB at IN2P3; this does not disturb normal operation. Full integration later during the summer. Progress on 2007-07-02: YAIM VO Configurator
is available at the following URL: Progress on 2007-07-09: summarize status after demo with Dimitir. Next YAIM version will still have the VO examples, as the YAIMtool will not be ready. Progress on 2007-07-16: Work to be done at the CIC portal waiting for Gilles to be back from vacation; will resume at the beginning of August. Wait till then. Progress on 2007-08-06: In progress.
Completion expected by the end of August. See the minutes of this meeting.

Request CMS and LHCb to state at the next meeting if they have any requirements for (non-tier-1 sites) sites moving to SL4/gLite 3.1 Update 2007-08-08: CMS gave the following statement: All CMS sites should move to SL4 as soon as possible. CMSSW_1_5 and successive will only be built for SL4. (The source of the statement is Stefano Belforte) LHCb gave the following statement: LHCb are not pushing sites to migrate to SL4. Until recently, LHCb faced some issues running on SL4 WNs because of the previously reported lcg-cp problem which took time to understand. LHCb are now splitting the CEs into SL3 and SL4 such that when issues arise, it is clear as to which version of the OS they are related to. Until the workaround for the lcg-cp problem is fixed in DIRAC (most likely next week) LHCb are preventing their jobs going to SLC4 sites. After that, just like ATLAS and (The source of the statement is Philippe Charpentier) Update 2007-08-13: Responses have now been received from all
experiments and so this item can be closed. |

Clarify site implications from SE downtime, as tests on CE of course fail as well since they need a default SE. Should the site be put in complete downtime? (Note from the minute taker, the default SE could be changed to some other site during the SEs downtime) How does this affect the VOs? Progress on 2007-03-26: In progress. Maite is coordinating. Progress on 2007-04-16: No news, to follow up Progress on 2007-04-23: Proposal to follow the SAM site availability calculation rules:
Which would mean: - for sites with only one SE, if the SE is down, the whole site will be considered as down, so schedule site downtime - for sites with more than 1 SE, if only one (or less than all) will be down, schedule downtime only for that SE - for sites with more than 1 SE, if all will be down, schedule site downtime
Summarizing: If a site has no SEs available, it should be declared as down Progress on 2007-05-07: There is a long running e-mail discussion on this. Progress on 2007-05-07: no update Progress on 2007-05-21: In progress. Progress on 2007-06-25: this issue has been raised again at today’s meeting.
