---++ WLCG Operations Call details

   * At CERN the meeting room is [[https://maps.cern.ch/mapsearch/?centerX=2492565&centerY=1121070&centerScale=2500][513]] R-068.

   * For remote participation we use the Vidyo system. Instructions can be found [[https://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=287280][here]].

---++ General Information
   * The purpose of the meeting is:
      * to report significant operational issues (i.e. issues which can or did degrade experiment or site operations) which are ongoing or were resolved after the previous meeting;
      * to announce or schedule interventions at Tier-1 sites;
      * to inform about recent or upcoming changes in the experiment activities or systems having a visible impact on sites;
      * to provide important news about the middleware;
      * to communicate any other information considered interesting for WLCG operations.
   * The meeting should run from 15:00 until 15:20, exceptionally to 15:30.
   * The SCOD rota for the next few weeks is at ScodRota
   * General information about the WLCG Service can be accessed from the [[WLCGOperationsWeb][Operations Web]]
   * Whenever a particular topic needs to be discussed at the daily meeting requiring information from site or experiments, it is highly recommended to announce it by email to wlcg-operations@cernSPAMNOT.ch to make sure that the relevant parties have the time to collect the required information or invite the right people at the meeting.

Attendance:
   * local: Alessandro (ATLAS), Jan (storage), Maarten (SCOD + ALICE), Steve (grid services), Zbyszek (databases)

Experiments round table:

   * ATLAS [[AtlasComputing.ADCOperationsDailyReports2015][reports]] ( [[AtlasComputing.ADCOperationsDailyReports2015?raw=on][raw view]]) -
      * Central Services/T0/T1
         * FTS3 servers upgrade: we would like that BNL, RAL and CERN to upgrade to the latest FTS server release to fix the activity share issue.
            * _Steve: the downtime will be less than 5 min; do the upgrade tomorrow (Tue)?_
            * _Christoph: OK for CMS_
            * _Vladimir: OK for LHCb_
            * _Alessandro: we will only re-enable the shares once all 3 FTS for ATLAS have been upgraded; we will coordinate this through the FTS-3 mailing list_

   * CMS [[CMS.FacOps_WLCGdailyreports][reports]] ( [[CMS.FacOps_WLCGdailyreports?raw=on][raw view]]) -
      * Business as usual
      * Only moderate activity

   * ALICE -
      * high activity
      * !RAL now allow up to 6k concurrent ALICE jobs when other VOs have little activity - thanks!

   * LHCb [[LHCb.ProductionOperationsWLCGdailyReports][reports]] ( [[LHCb.ProductionOperationsWLCGdailyReports?raw=on][raw view]]) -
      * Distributed computing dominated by Monte Carlo and user activities.
      * T0:
      NTR
      * T1:
      NTR
      * _Vladimir: there are fewer jobs than usual due to a minor issue that appeared after the migration to the DIRAC File Catalog and is being worked on_

Sites / Services round table:

   * ASGC: ntr
   * BNL:
   * CNAF:
   * FNAL:
      * the issue of GGUS alarm tickets paging the wrong number has been resolved
   * !GridPP:

   * JINR:
   * KISTI: ntr
   * KIT:
   * NDGF:
      * downtime tomorrow morning for dCache head nodes upgrade
      * there was a power supply problem at the Copenhagen site; the problem has disappeared, but the root cause has not been found yet
   * NL-T1:
      * on Mon March 9 the dCache upgrade from 2.6 to 2.10 will start; the downtime has been declared for 2 days because the DB upgrade might not finish in 1 day
   * NRC-KI:
   * OSG: ntr
   * PIC:
      * on Tue March 10 there will be a 5h downtime for network upgrades and maintenance as well as a dCache 2.10 patch
   * !RAL: ntr
   * RRC-KI:
   * TRIUMF: ntr

   * CERN batch and grid services:
      * the migration from VOMRS to !VOMS-Admin is proceeding as planned; the new service is expected to be available by 17:00 CET (and it is)
   * CERN storage services:
      * CASTOR-LHCb will be down for an upgrade this Wed
      * CASTOR-ALICE will be down for an upgrade next Mon
      * a bunch of rolling DB updates will soon be announced; they should be fairly transparent from the client side; some daemons may need to be restarted on the server side
   * Databases:
      * tomorrow there will be rolling updates of WLCG integration DBs (!INT6R and !INT11R)
         * the corresponding production DB updates will be done in 1 or 2 weeks
      * tomorrow there will be a full-day transparent intervention on back-end storage serving half of all DBs
         * CASTOR, WLCG and experiments are affected in principle

---++ Thursday

Attendance:
   * local: Alberto (grid services), Andrea M (MW Officer), Joel (LHCb), Maarten (SCOD + ALICE)
   * remote: Christian (NDGF), Dennis (NLT1), Di (TRIUMF), Felix (ASGC), John (!RAL), Jose (CMS), Lisa (FNAL), Michael (BNL), Pepe (PIC), Rob (OSG), Rolf (!IN2P3), Sang-Un (KISTI), Thomas (KIT), Vladimir (LHCb)

Experiments round table:

   * ATLAS [[AtlasComputing.ADCOperationsDailyReports2015][reports]] ( [[AtlasComputing.ADCOperationsDailyReports2015?raw=on][raw view]]) -
      * Central Services/T0/T1
         * NTR

   * CMS [[CMS.FacOps_WLCGdailyreports][reports]] ( [[CMS.FacOps_WLCGdailyreports?raw=on][raw view]]) -
      * Nothing to report. No significant problems since Monday.

   * ALICE -
      * NTR

   * LHCb [[LHCb.ProductionOperationsWLCGdailyReports][reports]] ( [[LHCb.ProductionOperationsWLCGdailyReports?raw=on][raw view]]) -
      * Distributed computing dominated by Monte Carlo and user activities. 
      * T0: 
         NTR
      * T1: 
         * GRIDKA: problem with pilot submission; WARNING Downtime
            * _see KIT report below_
         * IN2P3: Last downtime did not include SEs, but they were unavailable
            * _Rolf: the SE services should have been available as far as we could see. We did notice some LHCb disk space getting full during the downtime and alerted our LHCb contact._
            * _Joel: the user space got full indeed, but our issue was not with that._
            * _Vladimir: the SE remained affected after all supposedly relevant downtimes had finished. We did not open a ticket yet. It probably is OK now._
            * _Rolf: we will look further into it._
      * _Joel: the VOMRS to !VOMS-Admin migration went OK and the new service was working fine until Tue around lunchtime, when DIRAC was no longer able to talk to it._
         * _The service had picked up a new version of Java that disables SSLv3 by default._
         * _On the DIRAC side TLSv1 was tried, but that failed with another error._
         * _Proposal: try downgrading Java or re-enabling SSLv3 on the old voms.cern.ch as a test?_
            * _Update: re-enabling SSLv3 did the trick for now. The DIRAC developers will be asked to look into the SSLv3 dependency with some urgency._

Sites / Services round table:

   * ASGC: ntr
   * BNL:
      * a complex intervention on Tue was completed successfully: maintenance on dCache, network and SE HW
   * CNAF:
   * FNAL: ntr
   * !GridPP:
   * !IN2P3:
      * the scheduled downtime for batch took much longer than planned:
         * an unplanned emergency power cut interfered
         * the new version could not be made to work and had to be rolled back in the end
         * now the site is working again (still with the previous version)
   * JINR:
   * KISTI:
      * KISTI will have a scheduled downtime from 9 March 2015 00:00(UTC) to 10 March 2015 09:00 (UTC) for re-cabling work on nodes. Tier-1 services are supposed not to be affected by this intervention.
   * KIT:
      * there have been network issues lasting ~2 days:
         * a second 10G link to CERN was added
         * this caused intermittent routing issues
         * they were thought to be fixed yesterday evening, but further problems were seen this morning
         * for now the traffic only uses the first link
         * _Vladimir: your site looks OK now for LHCb_
   * NDGF:
      * the dCache intervention on Tue went OK
      * still power problems in Copenhagen:
         * 1 phase is OK and the SE nodes only use that one
         * the other phases are used for CE services
   * NL-T1: ntr
   * OSG: ntr
   * PIC: ntr
   * !RAL: ntr
   * TRIUMF: ntr

   * CERN batch and grid services:
      * !VOMS-admin migration happened on Monday.
         * The migration went well, but a few groups of users lost certificates during the migration. We were able to recover most of them but there is still work in progress.
         * Please, report any strange behavior to GGUS:110227
   * CERN storage services:
   * Databases:
   * GGUS:
   * Grid Monitoring:
   * MW Officer: ntr
