Summary

• Only half of the sites running a CREAM instance are passing the SAM tests for CREAM in validation. Present version of CREAM is working, sites should check what the issues are.
• New version of simplified EGEE intervention procedures ratified by ROC managers: https://edms.cern.ch/document/1032984 Sites that have a reliability or availability of less than 50% during three consecutive months will be suspended, and will have to go through the certification process again.
• Downtimes longer than one month should be exceptional and be approved beforehand by the corresponding ROC and this body notified.

EGEE Items

Grid Operator Hand Over on Duty

	c-COD Team
From	ROC France
To	ROC CE

• Report from cCOD:

1 ticket (GGUS #51458) for ROC_SE is opened for more than 1 month. I have sent a reminder to ROC_SE about it to check if the problem can be solved.
ROC_AP has 2 APEL tickets opened for more than 1 month. Work is in progress for MY_MIMOS-GC-01. For TW-FTT, ROC_AP sent a reminder and will escalate to last step if no answer.
Gilles will check if there is any ticket related to these sites.
Question about APEL test: we cannot put a site out of production with APEL problem not solved for more than 1 month. How should we handle such tickets?
Good practise: The ROC should try to isolate/debug the problem. If still this not help, involve the APEL team in the ticket.

PPS Reports and Issues

• Please find Issues from EGEE ROCs and general info in: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/OpsMeetingPps

Only half of the sites running a CREAM instance are passing cream tests in validation. Present version of CREAM is working, sites should check what the issues are.
MPI tests? Part of the CE/CREAM CE tests, included there, in validation.

gLite Release News

• Please find gLite release news in: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/OpsMeetingGliteReleases

• from Monday last week; security update 56, including CREAM CE version 1.5 (PATCH:3259). It is being applied here and there, as observed in rollout.
• gLite 3.2 07 in preparation, vobox, and new version of wms ui configuration. Scheduled since 1 months ago.
• Additionally, a security fix for a vulnerability is being prepared, it will be moved to production quickly, by this week. The patch will not require reconfiguration but a restart, and it affects ~8 node types.

EGEE Items From ROC Reports

• FZL [INFO]: On the 14th of October DE-KIT will run a test of the LHCOPN backuplink infrastructure. We expect this intervention to be completely transparent. The execution of the link test will start at 9:00am (CEST).
• FZK [AT RISK]: Planned intervention AT RISK: 20-10-2009 8:00 - 10:00 UTC Due to the application of an Oracle patch, GridKa/DE-KIT s LHCb 3D/LFC database is at risk.

Grid Service Interventions

• Consult links on the agenda page.

Miscellaneous

• Recent vulnerability: 7 sites still not patched, OSCT following up
• Egee roc managers ratified simplified intervention procedures. We are asking sites to declare downtimes correctly and on time. Gilles: this will be enforced in GOCDB as of next Wednesday 21st of October, 2 pm UTC, and also at the CIC portal. https://edms.cern.ch/document/1032984
• Sites with reliability of less than 50% over 3 consecutive months will be suspended. Who should suspend them? their ROC
