Heyup!
There are 52 Open UK tickets this week. It's business as usual this
week, but with so many tickets the risk of me missing something is
greater then usual so let me know if I've skimmed over an important
issue for your site or of interest to the UK.
Why so many tickets? We've been hit by several groups of tickets at
once: 13 gLExec tickets, 10 Decommissioning NGS sites, 7 SHA-2, 5
Unresponsive VOs (the makings of a terrible Christmas Carol). That
leaves only 17 tickets outside these categories.
SHA-2 tickets
7 tickets left for these, affecting Glasgow, Manchester, ECDF, Durham,
Lancaster, Imperial and the Tier 1. Depending on the time frame of when
you plan to look at this those who haven't see to On hold might want to
(Glasgow, IC, Tier 1) if they aren't going to be tackling this soon.
Kashif has extended the tickets.
VOMS

The HyperK VO has been rolled out and just needs testing now. In
Progress (29/7)
Unresponsive VOs (5/7)

repy, can be closed 22/7)

on new e-mail lists. In progress (29/7)
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=95472 - minos. The VO is
probably dead, Jeremy is checking. Assigned (26/7)
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=95469 - supernemo. Probably
also dead, Jeremy is checking here too. In progress (22/7)
GLEXEC (1/7)
Birmingham, Cambridge, Bristol, Sussex, ECDF, Durham, Sheffield,
Manchester, Lancaster, UCL, RHUL, Queen Mary and EFDA-JET all have open
gLexec tickets. Durham and IC are In Progress - ironing out a few bugs
(although both tickets could do with a soothing update to keep us in the
loop-particularly the Durham one). The rest are on hold, but Sussex also
appear to be close to a solution. Others are quoting late summer before
tackling gLExec deployment.
NGS Decommissioning
Not much to see here, 10 sites are on the "chopping block" but no
progress is expected until late August so they're all on hold.
TIER-1
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=96079 (23/7)
Atlas seeing slow deletion rates, caused by occasional time outs for
some deletions. Shaun is investigating, and can't see anything in the
SRM layer causing this. Waiting for atlas to get back with some examples
from their logs to cross-reference. Waiting for reply (24/7)
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=91658 (20/2)
Webdav for the RAL LFC. Catalin has asked for some advice on setting up
the Webdav interface. Is anyone able to help him? Waiting for reply (17/7)
OXFORD
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=96090 (23/7)
This issue was brought up in the Storage meeting, but worth mentioning
here. Ewan had a problem where his one server with space on it ended up
being given a weighting of zero by DPM gremlins. After fixing this
things are better, but the one empty disk server is under a lot of
stress. As our sites fill up issues like this could become more common.
In progress (26/7)
(Also see https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=96071, which is the
same issue for Sno+. It looks like the issue has been solved for them
though).
DURHAM
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=96024 (22/7)
It looks like Durham have a black-hole node, sucking jobs into oblivion:
the culprit appears to be n36.dur.scotgrid.ac.uk from the atlas
monitoring. It could be a red herring, but things are quiet on the
ticket fro the site end. In progress (29/7)
SUSSEX
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=95165 (28/6)
Duncan poked Sussex to check their perfsonar installation. Not much word
on this ticket for a while since Duncan updated with some information.
In progress (1/7)
100IT
https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=94780 (11/6)
The Cloud Site ticket. JK wants to hammer out a few things with NGI
members before finalising this as it is the first Industrial Partner,
but he's on leave (hopefully somewhere without this weekend's rain!), so
it might be a while before this is finalised.
Nothing exciting in the solved case pile, but my eyes are about to fall
out of my head after sifting through the active tickets so I may well
have missed something.
Cheers!
Matt
