0. Ongoing Action List
#10919 - 10 machines are delivered and configured in the same way as volhcb12. Ricardo mentioned that the machines are protected by a firewall but databases are installed and running on volhcb14, the mysql default port was unblocked by hand. volhcb03 will then be installed with the majority of the services. volhcb05 will be installed as the certification machine.
#12165 - None of the current sensors spotted the recent disk space issue in production, this should certainly be added to the critical list
#12384 - Resource status alarms, Adri made changes to support the requirements and Federico will update his code
#13406 - Testing rooted at IN2P3, Andrew will try to resurrect his testing suite
#13407 - LHCb platform detection and capability, tests will start soon using Hubert's tool
1. Production Status Report
- Current productions
The minimum bias L0HLT1 Moore stripping is almost complete (80 / 25k files left to process). bb and cc productions
are pending technical verification. There was a request to reconstruct previously excluded 1180GeV data (8 jobs) and
these are in the system.
- Database disk full
The old sandboxes reached 150GB recently and Andrei recovered the database. Only very old sandboxes were
dropped in order to remedy the situation.
2. DIRAC Release Update
- LHCbDIRAC - LHCbDirac conflicts
Due to the renaming there are now conflicts, this will have to be resolved by hand but only affect a few files. The
lower case LHCbDirac will be renamed to LHCbCoreSoftware to avoid confusion in the future.
- DIRAC Certification pre-release
Pending installation of certification machine. After the release we can resume a normal development cycle.
3. DIRAC Tasks
- Infrastructure monitoring (SAM,SLS,Dashboard)
Roberto switched to the LHCb software environment. The unit test for SRM is being refurbished by Andrew to cope
with the many different combinations of externals versions. Converting existing sensor tests to Nagios is in the
pipeline.
- ResourceStatus System status
Updates were made to monitor LFC mirrors.
- VO-boxes
Raja will try to install the new version of DIRAC on the 64bit VO-boxes.
- Web Portal
Andrew was testing the web portal on volhcb12.
4. AOB
Andrei mentioned that the Demo request was accepted by the organisers of the next EGEE User Forum in April.
Raja mentioned about a pilot still running after executing several jobs, Andrei investigated and noticed that the pilot
was Aborted. In this case the pilot was stuck and should have stopped but for some reason did not in this case, it
would be very useful to see the standard output of the pilot if this happens again.
There are minutes attached to this event.
