Tier1 and Tier-2 Weekly Report 2010-01-19 [In Progress]

General News

* ADC News [20100112]

* information system reminders [20100112]

  • sites will be contacted in the next week if their published values of logicalCPU, physicalCPU, HEP-SPEC and kSI2K from their site BDIIs show abnormalities
    • in terms of the HEPSPEC number advertisement, sites that haven't run the benchmark yet should do so for their resources and add it to the site BDII.
      • As of today this has only been done for TRIUMF, SFU, CA-ALBERTA-WESTGRID-T2 and AUSTRALIA-ATLAS.

* CA Cloud Squad Actions [20100112]

  • none in the past week

* ROC_Canada news [20100112]

* Squid deployment [20100105]

  • tested in SAM for ATLAS https://lcg-sam.cern.ch:8443/sam/sam.py?sensors=CE&regions=ROC_Canada&vo=atlas&order=SiteName&funct=ShowSensorTests, also within GangaRobot
  • currently status as of this morning (WARN is ok)
    • CA-ALBERTA-WESTGRID-T2 WARN (local squid server offline since 20091108)
    • CA-SCINET-T2: Error (Frontier setup not yet defined as per standard ATLAS software installation procedures)
    • SFU-LCG2 WARN (for both CEs; local is OK; Victoria squid is the backup but not online)
    • TORONTO-LCG2 WARN (no local squid; primary backup points to ALBERTA squid but fails due to network routing issue + squid offline; secondary backup to SFU OK)
    • TRIUMF-LCG2 WARN (ce1) OK (ce2) (local Frontier launchpad and BNL as backup)
    • VICTORIA-LCG2 WARN (local squid access error; backup points to SFU squid)
    • ATLAS_AUSTRALIA - WARN (local squid ok; backup access to VICTORIA error)

Recent Issues

  • production job issues
    • See "Production" Activities section below

  • analysis job issues
    • See "Notes" section below

  • ALBERTA-LCG2 site
    • site offline to ATLAS since early December 2009 and currently in state of unscheduled downtime in GOCDB
      • site storage migrated to CA-ALBERTA-WESTGRID-T2 site (except for 5.5 TB which are hosted on a server showing memory errors)
      • site will be transitioned to Tier-3 functionality, upgrade to SL5 and return of SRM storage functions

  • CA-ALBERTA-WESTGRID-T2 site installation status [20100111]
    • network fibre cut between Calgary and Edmonton affecting WestGrid network access to cluster as well as end-to-end lightpath to TRIUMF at approx. 09:30 (20100111)
      • brief period of 2 hours where internal network misconfiguration prevented proper communication between CE and local Torque-Moab server
      • automatic failover of lightpath to research network WAN observed with return to lightpath just after midnight (see attached)
        • UAlberta_lcgce01_last_108000-20100112.png:
          UAlberta_lcgce01_last_108000-20100112.png

    • update to Moab fairshare values for ATLAS activities based on NRAC allocations made [20100111]
      • prior to this [20100108] various groups of jobs were not running due to the incorrect early-cluster commissioning fairshare settings for ATLAS being picked-up
      • open items to be followed-up:
        • APEL accounting information publishing
        • SL5 WNs and additional CE
        • need to update to dCache golden release cycle from currently running 1.9.3-3

  • following up on some ATLAS software installation problems following network hostname resolution changes for internal network prior to Christmas
    • first noticed due to zero level of production activity in the previous reporting week with many jobs assigned but not running, waiting for input files [20100105]

Outstanding Issues

  • squid server (vm) offline since restart to CA-ALBERTA-WESTGRID-T2 services following scheduled downtime for power maintenance [20091108]
    • restart errors under investigation; automatic fail-over to secondary squid at SFU functioning as expected

SFU

Recent Issues

  • summary of this weeks Savannah bugs and GGUS tickets for site:

  • production job issues
    • See "Production" Activities section below

  • analysis job issues
    • See "Notes" section below

Outstanding Issues

  • identified one chassis of nodes where IB performance was degraded [20100105]
    • nodes in chassis marked offline for repair by vendor

  • SFU storage access protocol sanity check [20091022]
    • missing dcap - Status of this?

  • apel publishing [20090825]
    • apel publishing information missing for October (see above plots) [20091013]
    • publishing status for dteam appears empty since mid-July and coincides with appearance of the atcan group in the status graphs (see above)
    • confirmed to coincide with change in VOMS group and role for direct tests by Sergey
    • apel publishing results for September and October 2009 [20091110]
      • low values published but not expected when comparing with ATLAS production dashboard for the same period
      • GlueHostBenchmarkSF00 set to zero for both clusters in site BDII - fixed by site - reparsing and republishing to apel performed but still low values reported
    • low-priority follow-up needed given that dteam jobs are observed regularly and consistently at other sites (Alberta for example)

Victoria

Recent Issues
