Experiments round table:

• ATLAS
  • Central services
    • Pandasrv proxy was malfunctioning (production role problem) resulting in failure to write jobs output on Friday morning. Resolved at around 1PM. Under investigation.
    • ATLARC DB was down, some work is ongoing (https://cern.service-now.com/service-portal/view-outage.do?from=CSP-Service-Status-Board&&n=OTG5505)
    • Experiment Databases not reporting to SLS, misconfiguration was resolved INC:445465 (https://cern.service-now.com/service-portal/view-outage.do?from=CSP-Service-Status-Board&&n=OTG5571)
  • T0/T1
    • FZK-LCG2 : A problem with the internal DNS caused the certificate update to fail, resulting in two FTS node a01-013-12{8,9} running with a few expired certificates, which affects transfers to Prague, CSCS and the other sites. Resolved. (GGUS:99364)
    • NDGF-T1: One pool problem (GGUS:99277)
    • INFN-T1: Was set back to production on Friday. Looks OK.
    • TAIWAN-LCG2: Looks OK.

• CMS
  • ru-PNPI - During the installation of SL6 a severe power incident happened which led to burn-out of power supplies in their disk array. CMS disk space is not available for the moment.

• ALICE -
  • NTR

• LHCb
  • Main activities is Simulation at all Sites.
  • T0:
  • T1:
    • Network interruption at PIC on the weekend
    • GRIDKA: problems with file downloading presumably due to failure getting metadata from the local SRM

Sites / Services round table:

• BNL: NTR
• CNAF: NTR
• FNAL: NTR
• NL-T1: Currently two pool nodes are down because there is hardware maintenance on the attached storage controller. On december 5th there will be maintenance on a power feed. Not yet submitted to GOCDB.
• RAL: NTR
• KIT: NTR
• PIC: Saturday incident, started ~ 6.25pm local time b/c of power supply problem, affected only WAN, fixed around 22.30. All local jobs were continuing to run ok.
• NDGF: dCache upgrade is done and pools are coming back now
• OSG: problem with SAM availabilities and reliabilities where the transferring data was not working correctly. The problem is fixed and should be cleared up shortly
• ASGC: Castor server for CMS for HC and SAM test down, get it back asap.
• KISTI: Scheduled downtime from 4th December 06:00 (UTC) to 09:00 (UTC) for network intervention. The network bandwidth for KISTI-CERN will be 2Gbps after the intervention.
• IN2P3: downtime on December 10th (Major update for network equipment (routers for IPV6) Minor updates for: CVMFS, dCache servers, mass storage system, batch system controller), Consequences: Total network outage in the morning (no Grid Operations portal at that time neither, so no downtime notifications during 2 hours). Batch downtime starts already at December 9th in the evening, back in the evening of the 10th.
• Storage: EOS ALICE DT in the morning for upgrade to latest version. Wednesday Castor upgrade for ALICE & LHCb, this morning ATLAS & CMS happened
• Grid Services; Outage of batch service on Sat morning, not possible to submit jobs. B/c of faulty configuration. Down from 6am - 12am. SIR
