EVO
Present - GS,David M, Andrew, Mike from Glasgow, Phil and David from Durham, Greig Cowan from edinburgh
[pre] GS to chase up edinburgh cover
site status
glosgow - green,
ecdf - red,
old edinburgh - green (warning on alternate sam tests thogh)
durham - mostly green but errors on node020?
NFS locked up? middleware issue?
glasgow - globus 79 errors - moved globus tcp port range? too early to tell?
working on automate script to reboot and bring back online
glasgow - will deploy AFS in the near future (NAT / Token fiddles)
edinburgh news - ecdf - unkown
old edinburgh site - close to jobs
keep data available for $time
ecdf - only one Q - LHCb want voviews enabled so they can see whats available
(seconded by GS as being essential)
sam thinks it should be enabled but doesn't look right - GS knows the torque plugin - wonder if it;s not working correctly with SGE?
Durham - downtime last week - reinstall to include cfengine. - another convert to cfengine :-)
they are operatonal but not convinced all sorted - list of snags to fix - are they supporting all VOs? VOMS errors.
related to sgm accounts where no vo uses them - remove support for prod / sgm accounts for vo's that don't need them
still ~10 nodes down
4 days downtime for a full upgrade considered rather good going
having similar configs considered a Good Thing (tm)
ecdf - no sam on the call
- no accounting records being published - publisged per month and too big for APEL import.
no progress made on this plan to knowledge
more internal meetings in edinburgh to push ecdf forward in the grid - GS presentation seems to have spurred pete on.
SRM2.2
Glasgow / ECDF OK
Durham not publishing correctly - defined, can be used but the SE seems confused.
SE got reinstalled last week - should recheck setup. Should be trivial
[GC will investigate this afternoon with Phil]
CCRC08 mk2
probably just a DPM upgrade needed for the sites - F2F meeting start april, stabilise software by 21st
Poor delete performance - simone thinks there could be an internal DPM issue - as well as the ext3/xfs issue.
Tickets and issues
footprints is no more - use ggus alone - sync broken (at best)
- people should register as supporters
- Ticket run though
close the outdated lcg_utils
close security challenge ones
heinz - awaiting a regional response
ecdf CE - [GS will email response - Downtime?]
VO support
can all 3 sites support vo.scotgrid (durham should be (cut n paste) - GS will query with sam.
