Site issues
=========
Steve Lloyd tests
-------------------
- TCD - Network outage (work in progress)
- UCL / RHUL disk figures (2355TB) - noone available to discuss - Simon thinks the RHUL ones are still wrong - perhaps that its the wrong information provider plugin? (but its not simply 10^3 more)
- UCL-HEP has a v small amount of storage. they plan to get a small amount more.
accounting
------------
QMUL not up to date,
EFTA-Jet also have a gap (need to republish?) - they have just replaced their CE - related?
Oxford - Work in progress... (new CEs)
Bristol - Were running ATLAS / ALICE until may - reason for stopping? will look into it. - they'd have been on CE1 (not yet supported on CE2) old site too small to validate for ATLAS - GS will assist with prodn when new site ready
New steve lloyd test pages
------------------------------
see the 3 linked URLs in agenda.
General discussion of the UK Grid results - mostly running at RALPP, ~4% failure
glasgow migrating from RB to SL4 WMS (SL3 wms sick)
FCR page - CMS blacklist sites fairly agressively
- RHUL failing on SRMv2 tests perhaps - Space Tokens? (no CMSDEFAULT)
UI Provision
-------------
Nearly all sites have an installation (either dedicated or tarball on desktops)
Point to user docs URL
Experiments
=========
CCRC roundup - see URLS
ATLAS - if you see nasty atlas processes let production people know rather than killing job to debug properly. Raise GGUS tickets.
-- RAL ones had somehow killed ps from completing
-- Liverpool ones were over walltimes - single zombie job that had hung. Killing pbsmom cleared them off OK
Expect the unexpected with user jobs - Block DNs in exteremis. working round possible file access (LAN @ birmingham) issues. There's now a UK specific savannah portal
HEPSYSMAN
========
http://hepwww.rl.ac.uk/sysman/june2008/agenda.html
[ BIG CHUNK MISSING AS $VENDOR_ENGINEER ONSITE ]
Plain grid proxies oyt, voms proxies in
pre prodn / middleware testing - Will affect the UK as barry has installed a cream CE at IC.
Storage status in the UK - See links on agenda page
WLCG matters
==========
Tier-2 reps report onto wiki.
- Security Policy
- Benchmarking
- Pilot Jobs - under review still (glexec - see hepsysman) LHCb approved soon? dirac + glexec testing in progress. will be at Tier1 centres. Poss risk as could mean banning entire LHCb if problems. CMS queuing jobs stop LHCb at RAL (middleware problem + RAL decision) as they don't have a Q per VO. In progress.
- Daily wlcg ops meeting (14:00 ~ 14:10 UK time) - join if any issues.
Discussion
=======
Storage
--------
DPM: Space token management in 1.6.7 is an issue- Thats one big plus for .10 (bugfix from .7 altering the retention time to short-finite from unlimited)
- qmul se02 is still 1.6.7-1
dCache: Liverpool leaving alone as its working
Other Glite Packages
------------------------
