Hello all,
Please find this week's ticket summary, to be discussed in tomorrow's
meeting, below. Let me know if I've left anything out that you want
discussed, and my usual apologies if a site has been replying to/solving
tickets whilst I was writing the report.
Thanks,
Matt
24 Tickets this week.
Most tickets are well in-hand.
HYDRA tickets rear their heads again (still?):
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=79505 (Birmingham)
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=79504 (Glasgow)
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=79503 (Durham)
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=79502 (Sheffield)
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=79499 (Brunel)
One question is why aren't Lancaster ticketed? We're in a similar state
to Brunel.
The UK Consensus was that it wasn't in our remit to insert these tags
ourselves. My opinion on this (which I believe is widely shared) is that
Biomed should put these tags in themselves. Biomed (Franck Michel) have
asked for feedback on this in two of the tickets. I'll reply to them but
I'll await some feedback from the collective.
Another question to rise from this is should WN software versions be
published in the BDII? As essentially that's what's being asked for.
CAMBRIDGE
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=79728
Problems with their SE after an upgrade. Maybe a problem with the mysql
database after a restore. Is there anything the Storage experts can do
to help?
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=77008
Probably low on Santanu's priority list right now, but does it look like
Biomed have been purged from your SE after the reinstall?
RAL Tier-1
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=79545
Clean-up of Zombie LHCB jobs at the Tier-1. Tikcet almost done, Catalin
has written and put scripts in place to identify and kill Zombie jobs.
LHCB have requested that jobs in a REGISTERED or PENDING state for
longer then 24 hours also get the Zombie treatment. I for one would like
to have a look at Catalin's scripts if he doesn't mind as they would
have applications in CREAM monitoring.
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=79428
Ticket documenting SNO+ "trying out" the available grid resources. SNO+
jobs are having proxy expiry problems when submitted to RAL. Proxy
renewal works for other sites (QMUL & Oxford).
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=77026
Apparent BDII instability problem - looks like it's understood. Catalin
has tracked it down to an issue caused by host aliasing at CERN
"poisoning" the BDII information - not any actually instability in the
RAL BDIIs. The problem at CERN is being looked at. This ticket looks
like it can be closed, with a pointer to a ticket (or similar) refering
to the problem at CERN.
RALPP
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=76841
Zeus problems with the SE. Been "waiting for reply" for a long time, can
the ticket be placed on hold?
