      Operational status from sites 15m VRVS

      VRVS

      * From February 1st 2005 all sites must report by mail their operational status each friday if they want Gonzalo Merino to report with accuracy their status to EGEE Operations Meeting * Since the people from CERN is asking the ROCs to write the monday's 11 report following a sort of template, I think it will be useful that the SWE Site Reports that site managers are sending on friday to this list, try to follow a similar template as well. I suggest then that these reports are produced following the template available at: http://services2.pic.org.es/devel/download/txt/SR-template.txt

        * Only UPV, CNB and IFCA are supporting this VO on our federation. As shown in the output of the command: lcg-infosites --vo biomed --is ce * Action closed.
        Speaker: Merino, Angel (CNB)
      • 5.2.7.1 Rafa Marco (IFCA) will send a report to LCG-ROLLOUT about the Spanish CA Issue (CLOSED) 15m
        * He has done a soft link in the crl web server "ln -s 13eab55e.r0 datagrid-es-crl.pem" so now the new CRL is provided by both urls.
        Speaker: Marco, Rafa (IFCA)
      • 5.2.7.2 Javi Lopez to clarify the CPU normalization being stored in the accounting (CLOSED) 15m
        * Now what is published is the PBS CPU data. The normalization is taken from the SpecInt information provided by the MDS. This means one normalization value per site. * Gonzalo and Javi are thinking to normalize the value per worker node using a OpenPBS configuration parameter. The change implies that the CPU limits on queues must be changed also accordingly to real SpecInt limits. * Javi will send the instructions to implement this change on the nodes. * Carlos Fernandez raises the issue that the change of aacounting should be agreed at the federation or EGEE level. Andreu will raise this issue at the ROC Managers meeting on Feb 15th. * Manuel suggest that the values published by the sites would be: The published value, otherwise the clock value, the result of the spec2000 test. * A new action list is open to have a centralized and maintained list at CESGA with the values being reported to the accounting.
        Speaker: Lopez, Javier (CESGA)
      • 5.2.7.3 Implement monthly reporting templates in the CESGA accounting web site for SWE (CLOSED) 15m

        Speaker: Rey, Pablo (CESGA)
      • 5.2.7.5 Check security issue implementing per-user accounting web (OPEN) 15m
        * To be raised in the ROC MANAGERS meeting on Feb 15th 2005.
        Speaker: Pacheco, Andreu (PIC)
      • 5.2.14.1 Andreu Pacheco will consult ROC Managers about normalization in the CPU accounting (OPEN) 15m
        * The issue is that the CPU time reported to the accounting is not normalized to Spec2000 units. This means that the type and speed of the processor is not taken into account. * The proposal to raise is the agreement to normalize all accounting by Spec2000 CPU units in all EGGE sites.
        Speaker: Pacheco, Andreu (PIC)
      • 5.2.14.2 Implementation of a common list of Spec2000 rates for SWE federation worker nodes (OPEN) 15m
        * The goal is that all sites will normalize the same CPU power using the same list. This list is referenced by the www.spec.org maintained list, the cpu clock rate or the manual execution of the specint tests.
        Speaker: Fernandez, Carlos (CESGA)
