0. Ongoing Action List
#10907 - Steer the CPU related activities in DIRAC, move to the HEP CPU units - In the latest release we support HEP-SPEC 2009 units, the pilots are providing the normalised CPU (to 1 HEP-SPEC 2009).
#10916 - Formalize and simplify the release procedure for new web portal pages - The LHCb specific data portion of the configuration is separated. Ongoing.
#11163 - Site summary pages - Federico discussed the evolution of the page with Matvey last week, a prototype is expected at the end of this week.
#11223 - Demonstrate pilot submission through the CREAM CE - A GridFTP server was set up at CERN and this is being tested.
#12165 - Formulate hardware metrics and actions for VO-box lemon sensors - Jiri's agent is in SVN, developments are ongoing.
#13347 - Follow updates to CORAL LFC interface - No news as of yet.
#13405 - Keeping Real Data on disk at CERN - Joel reported that the new disk is in place.
#13407 - Detection of the platform and capability - Ongoing, a new utility to bind all usage of LbLogin / SetupProject is being prepared.
#14213 - Web Portal Notifications handling - Federico mentioned there are refinements being made to the notifications lifetime e.g. automatic cleaning. Ongoing.
#14500 - DIRAC tools independant of the VO - A fix was prepared for the distribution of other VOs.
1. Production Status Report
- Current productions
The L0HLT1 stripping was relaunched for b and c inclusive. There will be a couple of physics stripping productions following the commissioning of the new LogSE.
- Update VO-box document
See document attached to today's agenda. Andrei updated the VO-box requirements to include a port for the system administrator service and the possibility of adding a SQUID service.
- Lemon DIRAC sensor
See action #12165.
2. DIRAC Release Update
- LHCb/DIRAC v5r1
Andrei mentioned that the v5r1 release was deployed for the production system. The new graphics package has been deployed with some strange side-affects that will be investigated. All other features are listed in the release notes. There will be a release for the new monitoring developments towards the end of this week, in time for the jamboree.
- Externals v5r1 release
The binaries for the v5r1 release are being prepared to support the web server configuration, these must be compiled for all supported platforms.
3. DIRAC Tasks
- Infrastructure monitoring (SAM,SLS,Dashboard)
Roberto has received the code from Andrew and is updating the SAM sensors to improve readability.
- ResourceStatus System status
Federico has made a few bug fixes for the present release and developments are ongoing for the Tier-1 jamboree.
- Framework status
Ricardo made a small fix to the Subprocess module.
- Bookkeeping status
Philippe mentioned there are some renaming operations pending after the Online information contained typos.
- WMS status
No major updates, minor fixes here and there.
- DMS status
Philippe reported no objections were received regarding the DC06 cleanup and suggested to start removing lumi5 samples.
- VO-boxes
Document was discussed as above.
- Services deployment ( hardware, configuration )
Raja is testing the port
Roberto mentioned that he is happy to be a guinea pig for the new protocol access testing script, Stuart will send the details.
4. AOB
Philippe raised the point about speakers for the Tier-1 jamboree circulating drafts of their slides by the end of the week in order to present a consistent front and agreed to send a mail.
The starting point for the daily meetings was mentioned, tentatively it was agreed that these begin in two weeks. Philippe agreed to circulate a summary of the offline discussions to the lhcb-grid list. The GEOC will chair the daily meetings and attend the service meeting in the afternoon.
