Hello all,

Time rampages on, we're already half way through the year. And once 
again we find ourselves staring down a review of all the tickets.

36 Open UK Tickets this month.

SUSSEX
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=122772 (11/7/16)
Start with a golden oldie, the Sussex webdav/xrootd ticket. No news 
since some promising progress a few months back. As Alessandra asks in 
the ticket, any news on this? In progress (9/5)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127767 (18/4)
An availability ticket, hopefully the stats will be green enough to 
close this in a week or two. On hold (26/6)

RALPP
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129312 (3/7)
Fresh this morning, an lhcb ticket about one of the ARC CEs not 
responding (heplnv147). Assigned (3/7)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129316 (3/7)
A ROD ticket about the same server. My powers of deduction suggest that 
it's a bit poorly. Assigned (3/7)

OXFORD
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129201 (27/6)
A glue2 ROD ticket. Kashif sees an intermittent failure and had no joy 
debugging it so will close the ticket shortly. In progress (29/6)

CAMBRIDGE
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129187 (26/6)
One of the "check your storage accounting" tickets, just waiting on word 
back from JG to try out a new gocdb related to this. Waiting for reply 
(28/6)

BRISTOL
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126864 (28/2)
Enabling LZ (and friends) and Bristol. Things are coming along nicely, 
and after giving helpful advice about glexec Daniela is primed to send 
test jobs. In progress (15/6)

GLASGOW
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124052 (25/9/16)
LHCB ticket regarding publishing ARC at Glasgow (aka the Cursed Ticket). 
Gareth has updated the ticket with two prongs of hope - one is that a CE 
at Glasgow has been updated to a version of ARC with the hopeful fix in 
it, and the other is that VAC use by LHCB at Glasgow could make the 
issue moot. Both need feedback to confirm. Waiting for reply (30/6)

EDINBURGH
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129185 (25/6)
The ECDF edition of the storage accounting tickets. Waiting on Andy's 
return from hols to confirm the figures. In progress (26/6)

SHEFFIELD
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129230 (28/6)
Atlas transfers failing with time outs - Elena noted a rogue disk server 
and hopefully has kicked it into shape soon. In progress (3/7)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129054 (19/6)
Atlas mcore jobs being killed a Sheffield. At first glance Elena 
suspected the jobs hit the time limit, but CREAM errors have been 
spotted. Let us know if you need a hand debugging this. In progress (21/6)

LIVERPOOL
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129296 (30/6)
LHCB wondering why they're not seeing more jobs at Liverpool. John

cool(ish). In progress (30/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129184 (26/6)

feedback. In progress (30/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129288 (30/6)
Duncan spotted a problem with the Liverpool perfsonar results. John 
reports a full root partition and has resized it. Hopefully nothing go 
fubared, playing the wait and see game. In progress (30/6)

LANCASTER
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129183 (25/6)
The Red Rose edition of the Storage Accounting Check. I was hoping to 
close this today, but my dpns-du is still going. In progress (27/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129242 (29/6)
Availability ticket after a rocky few weeks, on the road to recovery 
now. On hold (3/7)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129287 (30/6)
Another ticket from Duncan, the Lancaster perfsonars hadn't initialised

yet? Assigned (28/6)

https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=129155 (26/6)
LHCB having issues accessing files over xroot at QM. This has only been 
tried in anger for atlas before, so it looks like some teething troubles 
are being seen. Daniela has asked for a handy CMS file to try out just 
in case. In progress (3/7)
