Hello all,
It's a week early but I thought I'd look at all the tickets today
(mainly because next week is a Bank Holiday, and I'll have my feet up).
I've split the tickets into the IPv6 tickets, Perfsonar upgrade tickets,
then the other tickets (which go site by site).

49 Open UK Tickets this month.

IPv6 Tickets
SUSSEX: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131617
Had a recent update - thanks for that.

RALPP: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131616
How did the perfsonar dualstacking go?

OXFORD: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131615
I don't think anything has changed since March's update.

CAMBRIDGE: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131614
Whilst I don't think any progress is expected, the ticket could probably
do with a token update.

BRISTOL: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131613
Winnie provided an April update, thanks for that.

BIRMINGHAM: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131612
Thanks also for the update Mark (any news is better then no news).

GLASGOW: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131611
 From the silence I don't think there's been any change, but I don't
think any was expected.

ECDF: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131610
Things looked reasonably positive at the last update.

DURHAM: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131609
Any luck getting a better connection from your Central IT people?

SHEFFIELD: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131608
No news for a while, but again I don't think any was expected yet.

MANCHESTER: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131607
The Manchester perfsonars are working over v6 now, which is nice.

LIVERPOOL: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131606
There's mention of "negotiations" so there might not be much news for a
while!

UCL: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131604
No news here either.

RHUL: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=131603
Has the v6 DNS lookup been rolled out yet?

Duncan's Perfsonar Upgrade Tickets
SUSSEX: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134741
Leo is jumping to it.

BIRMINGHAM: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134691
Mark acknowledged the ticket.

LANCASTER: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134690

GLASGOW: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134689

DURHAM: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134687
Adam marked the ticket in progress.

UCL: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134686
Ben hopes to get this done in the next few weeks.

MANCHESTER: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134684
Alessandra asks how necessary this upgrade is? (Presumably because
Manchester just got their perfsonar fully up and running for v6).

TIER 1: https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134685
Darren assigned the ticket to the appropriate team, but no other news.

And now the rest of the tickets, site by site.

Snoplus jobs having problems at QM. It looks like things are fixed, and
Dan had kindly offered to up Sno+'s fairshare to compensate them. Just
waiting on VO confirmation that things are working. Waiting for reply (16/4)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=133965 (9/3)
LHCB jobs failing due to "no space left on device". It looked like atlas
jobs were being poor neighbours. In progress (16/4)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134532 (12/4)
LHCB data access problems at QM, which they thing is an old issue
raising its head again (129155), Dan isn't convinced, and thinks it

are getting involved (hopefully). In progress (17/4)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=132713 (4/1)
HyperK.

involved yet. In progress (29/1)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134455 (9/4)

this - I suspect you can go onto the next stage now. In progress (18/1)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134468 (9/4)
CMS complaining that the xrootd redirector is not seeing some ECHO
files. Turned out to be a stuck redirector, but the ticket got reopened

reply (30/4)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134769 (26/4)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=133992 (12/3)
Atlas seeing no such file or directory errors in ECHO. A need for some
sort of consistency checking has been identified (as well as the fact
that existing tools might be difficult to adjust). No progress for a
bit. In progress (19/4)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=134619 (19/4)
Another ECHO ticket, this is from Chris B on behalf of CMS, citing

submitter. Waiting for reply (11/4)

CMS ticket checking on xroot and network performance. Chris reports that
the new firewall is in place, although there are still kinks needing to
be worked out. Chris also mentions that a useful exercise will be
comparing the Tier 1 and RALPP, to see if the latter's xroot proxies
could help. On Hold (30/4)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124876 (7/11/16)
The old gridftp tests failing for ECHO ticket. Not a hint of movement on
the counter ticket (125026). On hold (13/11/17)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117683 (18/11/15)
The oldest ticket, glue2 publishing for Castor. Could likely do with a
quarterly update. On hold (3/1)


That's all for the tickets. I'm looking forward to when we don't have so
many of them!

Cheers all,
Matt
