Experiment problems/issues Review of weekly issues by experiment/VO - LHCb - CMS - ATLAS - Other - Site performance -- http://pprc.qmul.ac.uk/~lloyd/gridpp/ukgrid.html -- Relative stability - http://gridmap.cern.ch/gm/

ROC update ROC update *************** - at meeting last week agreed that Oxford will attempt to setup an instance of Nagios for UK wide testing - Pilot of SCAS in preparation The gLite release team informed us that they reckon the new SCAS service (Site Central Authorization Service) to be in a sufficiently stable condition for a pilot service to be set up. In particular the most severe issues found earlier (memory leaks, bad configuration) were solved. The software is currently undergoing stress testing in certification. In parallel we contacted the LHC experiments (specifically CMS, Atlas and LHCb) in order to address the activity and they were in favour of a controlled deployment in production of a pilot service based on some instances of SCAS. Specifically LHCb would like a supporting T1 to be involved in the pilot, and suggest IN2P3 and/or FZK as first choices. - More sites complain of too much scratch space being used by jobs on WNs (Germany). - It is proposed that all remaining gLite 3.0 clients and services will be obsoleted at the end of April 2009. This proposal will go to the TMB for approval. Announcement: SAM: The intervention scheduled for next Monday on the SAM and GridView databases has been moved to next Wednesday, 4th of February. During this downtime the SAM and GridView services will be down, including submissions, web services and interfaces. This downtime is required to improve the database schemas of these two services, moving common objects to a separate account, thus easing any future modifications. WLCG update ***************** - Change management responses seem to have eased. Will write a summary - New question about handling of inefficient jobs (via Raja) - MB is concerned about move to new benchmark and how to publish two values (one old and one new).
