Description
grid-operations-meeting@cern.ch
Weekly OSG, EGEE, WLCG infrastructure coordination meeting.
We discuss the weekly running of the production grid infrastructure based on weekly reports from the attendees. The reported issues are discussed, assigned to the relevant teams, followed up and escalated when needed. The meeting is also the forum for the sites to get a summary of the weekly WLCG activities and plans
Attendees:
  • OSG operations team
  • EGEE operations team
  • EGEE ROC managers
  • WLCG coordination representatives
  • WLCG Tier-1 representatives
  • other site representatives (optional)
  • GGUS representatives
  • VO representatives

        • <big> Grid-Operator-on-Duty handover </big>
          From: SouthEast Europe and DECH
          To: North Europe and CERN

          Report from SouthEast Europe::
          • During the week the GGUS Ticket #42172 was transfered to political instances. The last SAM are ok now, but it is still opened. We believe the problem is fixed.
          • The GGUS Ticket #40707(Political) is duplicated GGUS #42008. The second one needs more time to solve the problem and the first one was extended.

          Report from DECH:
          • Two tickets (42199, 42015) unanswered for one site, ITPA-LCG2, both transfered to the next step, political instance.
          • The situation with the ticket 40521 is not clear, the case is at the last step of escalation for long time - corresponding ROC should review the situation on operational meeting.

        • <big> EGEE issues coming from ROC reports </big>
          • ROC NE: Vera Hansper has submitted GGUS ticket 42341 on October 15th. This ticket has been assigned the the GridView support unit. No action has been undertaken yet to solve this ticket.
          • ROC UK/I: Noticed some problems with the formatting of this ROC report. Multiple unlabelled lines for the downtime history against many sites and only some of these line up.
        • <big> Publishing "correct" values for cluster SI2k and Total CPU</big>
          Last week PIC asked:
          In the GridMap monitoring (http://gridmap.cern.ch) if one clicks the "show SI2k" button in the "topology view" section, the sites are scaled wrt the "total cpus" value in a SI2k units, which looks as computed just multiplying the number of job slots published times the GlueHostBenchmarkSI00. As most of the clusters are not homogeneous, this is not correct.
          GlueHostBenchmarkSI00 is just the value to which internal accounting is normalized.

          Answer: If you scale CPU speed to some value then you should also scale your SubCluster's Total and Logical CPU count so that your total power is reflected.

          1. ROC UK/I: very few sites passing the LHCb SAM tests today.
          2. ROC CERN: [Information] Support for a new Role=pilot for LHCb has been deployed at CERN
          3. ROC CERN: [Information] The ATLAS grid queues default resource requirements have been updated to select nodes with at least 1.9GB of memory
