        • <big> Grid-Operator-on-Duty handover </big>
          From: CERN & France
          To: Italy & UK/I

          Report from CERN :

          • List of unresponsive sites:
            • None.
          • Problems Encountered during shift:
            • [Information for next COD] Because the SRM tests are no longer running there may still be some old tickets or alarms for these that are no longer relavent since no new results are present. This is all expected. Just close tickets or set alarms to off. They will not take long to clear out I expect.

          Report from France :

          • List of unresponsive sites:
            • None this week.
          • Problems Encountered during shift:
            1. Could SAM team reverse the history order on SAM portal putting current day on top of page as in the old SAM display?
            2. Gridview graphs on SAM portal are not as up to date as the detail SAM test results: frequently, an alarm is raised againt a site and looking at SAM portal, the Gridview graph is OK. But if one goes to the detail results, one can see last test in error.
              Could the Gridview graphs be fully synchronized with the detail results and alarms?

          • Soon in Production
        • <big> EGEE issues coming from ROC reports </big>
          • France ROC:
            • GRID2-FR CA: French catch-all GRID-FR CA has recently been replaced by GRID2-FR CA. GRID-FR certificate won t be provided anymore. GRID2-FR CA was distributed with the last CA update. Some problems were however detected with some services (including CERN VOMRS and GOD DB) but not really understood as the CA was well deployed on sites. In some cases, restarting services solved the solution. In other cases, the problem disappeared after a while.
              In order to ease users life, Steve Traylen has also proposed to pre-add the GRID2-FR certificate into the CERN VOMRS/VOMS for every member who is registered with a GRID-FR certificate.

          In particular, the following sites requested that these downtimes be reported here:

          1. IN2P3-CC T1/T2 will be in SD from march 9th to wednesday 11th at noon. The electrical operation is scheduled on tuesday march 10th, so the LRMS will be drained 24h before. All the core services should be keep online. Dcache SEs will work for data import only.

          2. Planned downtime for FZK-LCG2: 9th March 08:00 - 13:00 UTC
            Service: SRM - gridka-dcache.fzk.de
            Due to the migration of atlas to a new SRM instance this service will be unavailable on 9-Mar morning.
