1. Project Management Transition Progress
==========================================
SP reported that the handover to PG was proceeding well, she had had another meeting with PG
and the Quarterly Reports were coming in. They were dealing with the Project Map, they had
updated the GridPP4 Project Map and this would be circulated to the PMB next week. They had
had a discussion about personnel and were having a couple of meetings each week. PG noted he
was getting there gradually, but progress was being made, and there were no particular issues of
concern.
2. Statement on Tier-2 Reporting for MB
========================================
JC had circulated a draft statement. The PMB discussed the issue and agreed the following
statement:
The UK Tier-2s all report total HEPSPEC06 and Storage numbers in GSTAT2 that have been
verified as correct at least to the level of 10%. In many cases, the numbers are much more
accurate than this. The discrepancies mostly arise due to the installation of new resources that are
not yet published, though occasional anomalies also appear due to duplication (eg the
introduction of an additional CREAM CE). Only a few UK sites provide accurate numbers by VO,
mostly because of uncertainty as to how these numbers are used and because of concerns that
they could be interpreted as some kind of meta-scheduler. GridPP will request that sites now start
publishing the UK-agreed nominal VO shares that form the basis of the pledge to wLCG.
The PMB noted that sites should publish the high-level agreed share (contained in Steve's
spreadsheet and the GridPP MOU ) for the LHC experiments. This was nothing to do with site
scheduling policy but was simply to allow wLCG to determine if the pledged resources had been
made available on a per-experiment basis.
ACTION
412.1 JC to take the issue of GSTAT publishing to the Ops Team, to request that sites fill-in the
numbers as per SL's spreadsheet table showing the fraction, ie: publish the theoretical model in
GSTAT.
ACTION
412.2 DB to finalise the statement regarding the reporting accuracy for HEPSPEC06 and the
GSTAT2 reports, and send this to JC for discussion.
DB noted that the 2011 procurements for CPU and disk were received and commissioned at RAL;
the disk was available to be deployed. CPU was currently being commissioned. Tape was
supplied/deployed as required, and there were no other issues to report at present. AS would
update the figures.
STANDING ITEMS
==============
SI-1 Tier-1 Manager's Report
-----------------------------
AS reported as follows:
Fabric:
1) FY10 procurements
- Disk tender - all delivered. Acceptance testing expected to finish around 22 January. All on track.
- CPU tender - all delivered. Acceptance testing has started on V10 (scheduled to complete 8th
Feb). CL10 pending an engineering update scheduled for this week and then will go into load test.
Network address shortage remains a (presumably solvable) problem for production deployment
but is now decoupled from acceptance.
- Tape drive and media purchase still outstanding, waiting for hardware availability. We have
indicative prices and have requested quotations.
2) The removal of the SL08 disk servers is complete (reported verbally last Monday). Firmware,
O/S and driver updates are underway and the servers are scheduled to go into load test later this
week,
3) There was a 10 minute local Tier-1 network break on Tuesday 11th January when Network
Group again attempted to update the router in order to allow our new CPU address space.
4) We suffered a CMS disk server failure on 25th December (gdss283), investigations last week
showed that all 3 partitions were lost, these contained 30 monte-carlo files that will have to be
written-off or re-run. This is notable in being the first filesystem loss for a long time not related to
SL08. A post-mortem has started.
Service:
1) Summary of operational issues is at:
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2011-01-12
2) ATLAS CASTOR instance is scheduled down until Tuesday afternoon while we upgrade the disk
servers to 64 bit.
3) ATLAS FTS configuration now back at full rate.
SI-2 Production Manager's Report
---------------------------------
JC reported as follows:
1) There was a GDB at CERN last week:
http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=118230. Most of the meeting was taken up
with updates of the Data Access and Management demonstrators (for example use of xrootd,
NFS4.1 and various caching methods). Most are now well demonstrated within pilots and will be
taken up as appropriate by the experiments. The main other topic covered at the meeting was the
CREAM CE. This would now appear to be fit for replacing the LCG-CE and the decision was that all
sites should now deploy the CREAM CE. It was not clear on what timescale the LCG-CE would be
phased out but there are some non-LHC experiments still using it.
2) Following the GDB on Thursday there was a meeting to discuss proposals for use of the
LHCOPN infrastructure for Tier-2 traffic:
http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=116636.
PC reported that he had ha a chat with Robin Tasker regarding the OPN for the Tier-1 and a
parallel Tier-2 OPN. There was no change to the UK situation, any site that had a problem, if it
needed a lightpath connection, this might go via JANET in London. DB thought this was a
dangerous road to proceed down, it was not a good idea to put anything special in that we would
have to pay for. There was no discussion required publicly in the UK at the present time. PC
noted no compelling case at the moment for any site to have a lightpath. DB considered we should
avoid this until the end of GridPP4 - four sites having OPN connectivity would not work.
3) The database supporting the GOCDB has not been available this morning. The RAL database
services team are investigating.
4) APEL accounting for most GridPP sites is almost up-to-date again. Recall there was an issue
with sites not being able to publish around the new year when the APEL broker was down and
since then many sites have been republishing but the high-load has caused updates to happen
slowly. The issue affected the ability of the Tier-2 coordinators to provide early accurate Q4 2010
reports. It has also been noted by one site that (due to a configuration error) jobs undertaken via
CREAM CEs at the site have not had their accounting data uploaded.
5) There has been a request for EMI 2.0 middleware and Nagios test requirements feedback.
This is to be provided (via https://rt.egi.eu/rt/) by the end of January by SA1 task leaders and
OMB members. GridPP members are invited to pass on suggestions and feedback to Jeremy or
John.
SI-3 ATLAS weekly review & plans
---------------------------------
RJ was not present
SI-4 CMS weekly review & plans
-------------------------------
DC reported that a disk server at RAL had lost 31 files of merged Monte Carlo data, they could do
this again at some point; there had been a RAL error on 11th, 15th and 16th January but this could
relate to a CMS-wide problem; there was also a robot test issue. Re the Tier-2, they had solved the
problem at Imperial.
SI-5 LHCb weekly review & plans
--------------------------------
GP noted there wasn't much to report - there had been good throughput on the Tier-1;
simultaneous jobs had increased to 1500; some of the upload problems had re-emerged at
Glasgow over the weekend, this was being investigated.
SI-6 User Co-ordination Issues
-------------------------------
GP noted there were no issues to report.
SI-7 LCG Management Board Report
---------------------------------
DB reported there had been a discussion re the Tier-1 not wanting to run sme of the ATLAS
services - these don't need to be at all of the Tier-1s. The LFC issue was to be discussed tomorrow.
We were happy that the Tier-1 continues to provide services.
ACTION
412.3 JG to check with AS and RJ re the issue of the Tier-1 continuing to provide LFC services.
The issue of Security Policy, and the Pilot Jobs issue had been discussed. JG noted that the policies
had been postponed to the end of 2010 so would be addressed again. DK would attend the next
MB. DC noted it was a difficult issue to raise now. DB thought we should assume we don't have to
do anything at present. PG asked about sites installing Argus (just in case)? JG noted that sites
should be continuing to use Argus. Ian Bird had given slides on planning, plus the schedule for
2011. Re 2012 running, the decision would be made at Chamonix, but the presumption is 'yes'.
SI-8 Dissemination Report
--------------------------
SP reported she had spoken to the Digital Curation Centre in relation to their questionnaire and
had given feedback. The experiment reps. would hear from them. SL, SP and Neasan O'Neill met
with the KE people whilst at QMUL, and they had discussed ways of disseminating KE outwith the
University, possibly meeting with the Technology Strategy Board. NO was doing a news item on
SP leaving.
---
The next PMB meeting would take place on Monday 24th January at 12:55 pm.

GridPP PMB Minutes 413 (24.01.11)
=================================
Present: Dave Britton (Chair), Sarah Pearce, Andrew Sansum, Steve Lloyd, Tony Cass, Robin
Middleton, John Gordon, Jeremy Coles, Pete Gronbech, Pete Clarke, Dave Colling, Glenn Patrick,

Apologies: Dave Kelsey, Neil Geddes
1. Royal Society Summer Exhibition
===================================
An email request had been received from Birmingham/Cambridge regarding the Royal Society
Summer Science Exhibition. They had invited GridPP to be involved with their exhibition. DB
noted that year after year we had tried to get into this exhibition without success, therefore it
would be a good opportunity. It might mean however that the plan for next year in relation to
CERN@School might be compromised. DB suggested taking this opportunity. The high-level issue
was one of who were the Dissemination Team in GridPP4 now that SP was leaving? Details
needed to be provided to Karl Harrison. SL assumed we would only have Neasan O'Neill, but that
the next Project Manager might be interested. DB advised that involvement in Dissemination was
not part of the formal job requirement. DB thought it best not to assume anything at present until
someone was in post. SL noted that Neasan would probably be happy to take this opportunity
forward. DB advised that oversight and a GridPP contact were still required - would SL be happy
to be included? SL noted yes. Someone else could also be co-opted if necessary. SL noted that
Manisha was also included in the weekly ongoing meetings but she was not GridPP. DB asked if
there were anyone else on the NGS side, Gillian? JG noted there was an NGI Group. DB thought
they were too big to be involved. Regarding the specific points noted in the
Birmingham/Cambridge request, DB asked if there were any objections? RJ thought it good that
we should be involved but asked whether they were looking for effort or money? DB confirmed
we could pay for our own people to go/contribute. They wanted demos and spin-offs, for
example, Immense, Ganga, Camont. It might be possible to submit jobs via Ganga and view them
on the RTM? PG advised that the chances of missing it on the RTM were quite high, we could
reserve slots at a site and use a special VO. JC noted we could test using the GridPP VO. DB asked
if Ganga could submit via the GridPP VO via DIRAC? PC thought it would be interesting to do
something by way of a slide presentation simultaneously. DB noted there were some things we
could do/contribute but in principle we could also make suggestions and try some tests. There
was also a requirement for promotional material and posters etc. RM would check the travel
budget. The current dissemination team would consider the promotional material issue. SP noted
a magic cube was possible, and the leaflets were almost ready.
ACTION
413.1 RM to check the travel budget in relation to contributing to the costs of being involved with
the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition, in conjunction with Birmingham/Cambridge.
DB asked if we had a set of impressive numbers that illustrated the Grid? SP would look at what
we had used in the past. Neasan O'Neill could check through the information and advise on a
relevant set of contemporary numbers that would be best used in context. DB noted in summary
that we would try and support this bid. We would also provide promotional material if possible.
GridPP were happy to fund two people to go: Neasan and one other. The dissemination team
should look at the demos we could run, update posters, and provide leaflets.
ACTION
413.2 DB to contact Karl Harrison and confirm GridPP's involvement in the Royal Society
Exhibition, noting a contribution in terms of a possible demo, manpower, and promotional
materials.
2. Project Management Transition Progress
==========================================
PG had circulated the GridPP4 Project Map draft (0.9 version). PG reported that in the overview
tab some of the columns had been removed. KE and outreach were now in the management
section. Ganga support appeared in ops. Experiment support was within the sub-pages. The
work package titles had also been removed - it was not so obvious now to see the work packages
but hopefully it would be easier to report. SP advised that the new version was clearer - there was
less overlap but it also tied-in less well with the GridPP4 proposal. SP advised we could still
identify the work packages in the worksheets if we needed OC Report tie-in. AS asked what the
reasoning was for names being put down as 'Managers'. GP might be more appropriate for one of
the sections rather than AS. DB asked if we actually needed to state 'Manager'. SP confirmed no.
DB noted that if something went wrong, SL would usually get involved in the first instance,
relating to column 2. If something went wrong in relation to column 1, it would be AS who would
be involved. These were not really 'managerial' roles, more 'respondent' roles. SP noted that the
OC has specifically requested names of Managers for oversight of each section. TD asked if the
boxes with the metrics would disappear? PG advised that they needed re-written, but he was
trying to do the overview first and then would sort out the detail. Overall, the PMB were happy
with the structure. PG would revise accordingly, and circulate.
SP reported that PG was concentrating on the Quarterly Reports - information was awaited from
RJ, DC, JG, network information from Robin Tasker, but nearly everything else had been received.
SP advised that next week they would go over the finances together. DB asked if they needed an
outturn forecast? SP noted there was no point in doing another outturn now. PG advised that we
could use the one which was done for the OC in December, and do a new one for next time. A
similar exercise would be carried out for the GridPP4 plan.
STANDING ITEMS
==============
SI-1 Tier-1 Manager's Report
-----------------------------
AS reported as follows:
Fabric:
1) FY10 procurements
- Disk tender - acceptance tests have ended. Will review outcome with suppliers this week.
- CPU tender - all delivered. Acceptance testing has started on V10 (scheduled to complete 8th
Feb). CL10 Engineering update done. Servers under supplier proving test, some waiting fixing
hardware faults.
- Tape drive and media purchase still outstanding, waiting for hardware availability.
2) The removal of the SL08 disk servers is complete (reported verbally last Monday). Firmware
updates done and array rebuilds underway. Expect to start load test within a few days. Meeting
supplier to review our plan on Wednesday.
3) ATLAS Centre weekend power down at weekend (risk to site network) completed with no
problems.
4) Failover for 24 hours of OPN to backup after fibre cut in Paris.
Service:
1) Summary of operational issues is at:
https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Tier1_Operations_Report_2011-01-19
2) ATLAS CASTOR disk servers upgraded to 64bit. Expect to do CMS next week.
3) Ongoing issue of bad checksums generated in CASTOR when file transfer ends abnormally.
Causes FTS or tape migration problems for affected files. This is fixed in 2.1.9-9, which means that
when we do our planned upgrade to 2.1.9-10 (probably during February) it will no longer be an
issue. Currently we have to find automatically these problem files and arrange deletion. Looking at
scripting a solution.
4) Expect to upgrade Oracle databases from version 10.2.0.4 to 10.2.0.5. CASTOR Oracle downtime
scheduled next week, probably whole service down Monday (day time). TBC.
AS reported that there would likely be an Oracle announcement due at the end of January. AS was
doing the final calculations so that we had figures available for both media and drives. It would be
possible to purchase B-drives instead of C-drives. DB noted that B-drives with an upgrade path
might be a better option. We would wait to hear on 31st January then report. There followed a
discussion on LHCb pilot jobs and MC production. A large number of LHCb jobs were queuing, but
there appeared to be no intrinsic problems.
SI-2 Production Manager's Report
---------------------------------
1) The merging of ATLAS tokens at Tier-2s has started. Sites will be increasing the
ATLASDATADISK to accommodate data being moved in from ATLASMCDISK; MCDISK will then be
decommissioned. No sites have (yet) reported problems with this process and the move is giving
some sites a chance to stress test their internal networks and servers.
2) Ireland has initiated the formal NGI validation process with the UKI ROC acting as the
Integration Process Coordinator. On Friday John Gordon, Claire Devereux and myself discussed
UK preparations for formally establishing NGI_UK (i.e. moving away from UKI ROC) with a plan to
start the process in mid-Febraury.
3) The storage group are in the process of setting up an agenda for a workshop to be held in
conjunction with the GridPP meeting in April. They have also recently reviewed GridPP site
storage versions vs the WLCG baseline and this reveals that many sites need to upgrade soon. Is
there a time window preferred by the experiments for these upgrades? Clearly sites want to be
stable ahead of the next accounting period starting in April.
4) Glasgow wish to support the NA62 collaboration. We first need to create the VO within VOMS.
The proposal is to host the VO on the Manchester VOMS and I will initiate this today.
5) Last week Glenn mentioned a return of the LHCb transfers problem at Glasgow. Nothing
(known) was changed at the site that would cause a change in transfer performance. It was
thought that perhaps a temporary problem was seen due to CREAM issues over 15/16th January
but this latest plot shows a clear change that continues today: http://tinyurl.com/6ldj7nn. We will
once again work with LHCb to investigate what caused this change!
DB advised that this appeared to be a registration issue, it was not a return to previous known
problems, however more information was required from LHCb in order to diagnose and make
progress on this issue.
6) A GOCDB outage was mentioned in my report last week. Following that there were concerns
voiced by other users – for example ATLAS and a RAL downtime that did not propagate
https://gus.fzk.de/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=66226. It seems there is no GOCDB4 failover service
(there was a mechanism for failover to a read-only version with GOCDB3) which is a concern.
ACTION
413.3 JG to find out at the EGI meeting today if there was a GOCDB4 failover still in existence (the
last one ended with EGEEIII).
SI-3 ATLAS weekly review & plans
---------------------------------
RJ reported that changes had been made last week, but they had recovered ok. They were tuning
the FTS channels, things were running well. RJ noted that the UK cloud running was comparable
with the US cloud. There had been transfer problems at RAL, and there had been CASTOR issues.
They were doing a database upgrade and an upgrade on the LFC - it was expected that this would
affect availability of the UK cloud. In summary, RJ reported that generally things were going ok.
SI-4 CMS weekly review & plans
-------------------------------
DC was absent.
SI-5 LHCb weekly review & plans
--------------------------------
GP noted that we had covered LHCb issues already. They were getting throughput on the Tier-1;
there was a checksum on tape and migration issue; things were running reasonably smoothly.
SI-6 User Co-ordination issues
-------------------------------
There was nothing to report.
SI-7 LCG Management Board Report
---------------------------------
DB reported that there had been a review of data management demonstrators from the GDB.
There were ATLAS plans for the LFC databases. There had been a status report of reporting in
GSTAT2 and 2011 resource installation - all seemed ok for the UK.
SI-8 Dissemination Report
--------------------------
SP reported that there would be no meeting this week; a news item had been posted about her
departure; the International Science Group had been changing their name but this was disallowed
due to a trade mark issue; Digital Curation Centre would contact PC, RJ and DC, also DB, regarding
details of what they were planning. DB noted it would be good if DC, RJ and PC could provide
input as we collectively did not respond to the original questionnaire. SP noted that there had
been 8 complete and 23 partially completed responses received by DCC. It was understood by
them that the questions needed to be re-cast in a more accessible way. SP reported there had
been an article in 'Nature' about RAL, but it was not entirely accurate.
