Hello all,
It's the first Monday of the Month, so it's time for the monthly
jeremiad that is the full ticket review.
Down to 21 Open UK Tickets this month.
SUSSEX
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=122772 (11/7/116)
Atlas xroot/webdav ticket, with just xroot to go. Any luck with the
xrootd server? In progress (9/5)
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127767 (18/4)
Availability ticket - Daniela notes that there are still issues with
test jobs not running in time, and advises perhaps reserving a slot for
tests. On hold (25/5)
RALPP
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127555 (7/4)
Another availability ticket, although Chris points out several valid
reasons why this points to the monitoring being fubared, vitiating
RALPP's results. On hold (30/5)
OXFORD
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=128512 (27/5)
LHCB spotted a problem with the Oxford ARC CE, which Kashif seems to
have cleared up with a reboot, but no word from lhcb since. Could do
with a poke. In progress (30/5)
BRISTOL
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=126864 (28/2)
Request to enable LZ at Bristol. Winnie is progressing with rolling out
the pool accounts etc for LZ, Dune and LSST as fast as her limited time
allows. In progress (30/5)
GLASGOW
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124052 (25/9/16)
The cursed ticket, requiring new ARC CEs to fix a problem with
publishing seen by lhcb. Hopefully enough positive karma has been
accrued to give some breathing space to get round to this. On Hold (4/4)
ECDF
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=128294 (12/5)
Availability ticket - looking into the ECDF argo page is a journey into
the unknown (status), with their infamous -1 availability. If you're
site seems to be capping out at 99% then I'd blame the ECDF guys for
stealing that extra 1% :-P In progress (19/5)
SHEFFIELD
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127766 (18/4)
Another availability ticket, just waiting for the numbers to sooth
themselves. Hopefully not too badly affected by the next ticket. On hold
(25/5)
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=128429 (19/5)
BDII test failure ticket, the alarm was fixed by Elena syncing her
clocks, but glue-validator failures are still seen. Kashif right
recommends running the test manually. In progress (2/6)
LANCASTER
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=128321 (15/5)
And another Availability ticke. After improving test job flow through
our cluster we're on holding the ticket. At least we're in good company.
On hold (26/5)
RHUL
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=128750 (1/6)
Duncan submitted a perfsonar related ticket after spotting some
problems, Govind is investigating the issue. In progress (5/6)
IMPERIAL
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=128555 (30/5)
The Imperials are having an issue with gfal-copy within CMS jobs.
Despite not being able to replicate manually, some quiddity of the job
environment causes gfal-copy to seg fault. The site has tried a
different version and raising the ulimit, but no joy yet despite the
efforts. In progress (5/6)
100IT has 3 tickets that I won't go into.
TIER 1
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=124876 (7/11/16)
gridftp tests failing for echo, due to a problem with the tests. No
movement on the counter ticket
(https://www.ggus.org/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=125026) since
April. On Hold (1/1)
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127612 (8/4)
LHCB having problems with the RAL CEs, which seem to be ongoing
(although they might have changed in nature). No news on the ticket in
the last fortnight though. In progress (23/5)
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127967 (27/5)
Enabling MICE pilots at the Tier 1. The accounts are created but it
looks like job submission isn't working yet for this role. In progress
(25/5)
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127240 (21/3)
CMS staging tests. The last entry from the user was a request to clarify
what the numbers in the plots meant and for additional plots. In
progress (18/5)
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=127597 (7/4)
CMS would like the Tier 1 to check their xroot/networking performance.
In response Andrew L had switched off "lazy download" Andrew asked if
this has helped, but the issue is muddled by the firewall at RAL
dropping packets, awaiting news from the RAL networking team. In
progress (30/5)
https://ggus.eu/?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=117683 (18/11/2015)
Castor Glue 2 publishing ticket. Rob updated that development is still
ongoing. On Hold (10/5)
And that's all the tickets! Not sure I passed the secret challenge
Daniela set me though.
Cheers,
Matt
