      VO Liaison CMS 1m
      Speaker: Katy Ellis (Science and Technology Facilities Council STFC (GB))

      Following the stopping of F@H jobs, CMS efficiency went up. Currently doing similar efficiencies to other CMS T1s!

      SAM test monitoring stopped reporting for a while but this was a CMS issue. Results are in place now.

      VO Liaison LHCb 1m
      Speaker: Raja Nandakumar (Science and Technology Facilities Council STFC (GB))

      LHCb :

      1. ECHO file access issue :
        • Believe RAL test system WNs finally in place since earlier today
          • To be confirmed tomorrow
        • Waiting for system to settle down before starting making further changes on Friday
        • Monitoring url for LHCb view of test jobs
          • https://lhcb-project-dirac.web.cern.ch/lhcb-project-dirac/EchoTestMonitor/RALEchoTestMonitoring.html?date=2020-04-30
          • Note the date at the end of the above URL. It can be any date after 23 Apr 2020 to yesterday
      2. LHCb DIRAC issues
        • Briefly mentioned last week
        • Affected MC reconstruction productions which were producing RunI MC
          • Needs singularity to emulate sl5 for trigger code frozen at that time
          • Caused by DIRAC bug introduced on 12 May 2020
        • Finally fixed on 19 May 2020
      3. LHCb tape accesses over the next year :
        • Believe we have done all the major staging to be done for the next year
          • https://its.cern.ch/jira/browse/LBOPG-101
        • We do not (usually) do any deletions from tape
        • We assume sporadic staging is okay
      4. Number of LHCb jobs at RAL fell on Monday (~x2)
        • Possibly due to batch farm work being done
        • Also possibly LHCbDIRAC issues
          • Hard to disentangle the two
        • Now slowly going back to normal
      5. VO-box
        • An issue with LHCbDirac software being investigated
        • Upcoming(?) sl7 update

      DUNE:

      1. ETF tests : https://etf-dune-preprod.cern.ch/etf/check_mk/index.py?start_url=%2Fetf%2Fcheck_mk%2Fview.py%3Fview_name%3Dallhosts
        • Following up with sites
          • First WLCG as easiest
        • Technical details being teased out
      2. Few jobs running on the grid in DUNE
        • A few ten-s or jobs all across fermigrid
