Hello,
It's been a while since we've had one due to Bank Holidays and 
Vacations, but today we'll have a full review of all the UK tickets.

30 Open UK Tickets this month.

NGI
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114233 (10/6)
The UK not publishing core counts at all sites. Some progress, but at 
last check John G couldn't see a change for Oxford or Glasgow. In 
progress (30/6)

RALPP
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114442 (18/6)
Gridpp Pilot role ticket. Accounts need to be created, but no word for a 
few weeks. In progress (19/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114764 (1/7)
Ticket tracking (false) availability issues, created to appease COD - 
the problem caused by a broken CA rpm release for Arc CEs. Kashif has 
created a counter-ticket 
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114742 Gordon's 
sagely advice is to submit a recalculation request once the issue is 
fixed. assigned (1/7)

BRISTOL
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114485 (19/6)
Bristol's gridpp pilot role ticket. No news, could do with an update 
really. In progress (22/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114426 (18/6)
CMS AAA reading test problems. The Bristol admins have transferred data 
to their new shiny SE and have asked CMS to test again. No word since. 
Waiting for reply (30/6)

EDINBURGH
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95303 (1/7/13...)
Tarball glexec ticket, now 2 years old. After a really promising burst 
the last 6 weeks haven't seen any progress, due to a lot of other 
"normal" tarball work taking up the time. Sorry! On hold (18/5)

DURHAM
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114536 (22/6)
Durham's gridpp pilot role ticket. Not acknowledged yet, is Oliver back 
yet? Assigned (22/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114765 (1/7)
See RALPP ticket 114764. Assigned (1/7)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114727 (30/6)
Catalin ticketed that a number of SW_DIR variables at Durham are still 
pointing to the old school .gridpp.ac.uk cvmfs space. Assigned (30/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114381 (16/6)
John G ticketed Durham over a small percentage of jobs being published 
as "zero core". Looks like a SLURM timeout problem, although a fix isn't 
obvious. Put on the back burner whilst Oliver is on holiday. On Hold (19/6)

SHEFFIELD
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114649 (26/6)
A ticket from a Sno+ user about not being able to access software using 
the Sheffield CEs. Acknowledged but no news. In progress (26/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114460 (18/6)
Sheffield's gridpp pilot role ticket. Did you get round to rolling them 
out? In progress (19/6)

MANCHESTER
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114444 (18/6)
LHCB ticket concerning the DPM's SRM not returning checksum information. 
On hold whilst a related ticket is being looked at 
(https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111403). On Hold 
(22/6)

LIVERPOOL
https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=111403 (10/6)
Another Sno+ ticket, about grid production jobs failing at Liverpool. 
AIUI caused by Sno+ running out of space on the shared pool. At last 
check Steve posted the usage information for Sno+ but no word since (and 
Steve's off on his hols). In progress (17/6)

LANCASTER
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114845 (6/7)
LHCB pilots failing at Lancaster. Looks like a simple node 
misconfiguration, hopefully fixed, waiting to see if it is. On hold (6/7)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=95299 (1/7/2013)
glexec ticket - see Edinburgh description. On hold (15/5)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=100566 (27/1)
Bad bandwidth performance at Lancaster. Hoping that IPv6 will shake 
things up a bit so pushing that. On hold (18/5)

UCL
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114746 (30/6)
SRM-put failures ROD ticket. No news at all. Assigned (30/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114851 (6/7)
Low availability ROD ticket, related to above. Assigned (6/7)

RHUL
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114441 (18/6)
Another GridPP pilot role ticket. Pilots rolled out, but something isn't 
quite right and they're not working - Govind is looking again. In 
progress (6/7)

QMUL
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114573 (23/6)
LHCB ticket about two out of three QM CEs not responding for them. Dan 
spotted the broken CEs were dual-stacked, the working one wasn't. The 
ticket seemed to have trailed off into some confusion over who needs to 
do some testing where. I agree with Dan that that who needs to be 
someone with LHCB credentials! The waters still seem muddied. In 
progress (1/7)

IC
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114737 (30/6)
The IC voms wasn't updating properly, due to what I infer from the 
ticket as "SSL/mysql madness". Simon and Robert have been heroically 
battling this one - it's a good read. On hold (3/7)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114379 (16/6)
Sam's ticket about SE support in Dirac. Sam will shortly try testing 
things out on the new Dirac to see how it fares. In progress (6/7)

BRUNEL
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114447 (18/6)
Brunel's gridpp pilot ticket. Being worked on, with one CE with the 
pilots enabled. In progress (26/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114006 (31/5)
A ticket from APEL, about Brunel under-reporting the number of jobs they 
are doing. Turned out to be a problem with Arc, which Raul upgraded to 
the fixed 5.0 version. The APEL team deleted the sync records, but no 
word since. In progress (30/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114850 (6/7)
Another APEL ticket, likely the fallout of the previous one - it looks 
like GAP publishing has been left on for the Brunel CREAM CEs. Assigned 
(6/7)

TIER 1
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=114786 (2/7)
Low availability ticket - see RALPP ticket 114442 - probably could do 
with Ob holding. In progress (2/7)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=113910 (26/5)
Sno+ data staging problems. Brian gave some advice on how the large VOs 
do data staging from tape, and has asked if Sno+ still has problems. 
Matt M might still be on leave though. Waiting for reply (23/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=108944 (1/10/14)
CMS AAA problems, which eventually brought to light to a problem with 
super-hot datasets which were alleviated (I think). Despite an update to 
castor that improved performance the last batch of tests didn't show 
improved results. No news since. In progress (17/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=113836 (20/5)
Glue mismatch problems at RAL. Working on getting "many-Arcs" to 
correctly publish. In progress (24/6)

And that's all folks!
Cheers,
Matt
