Tier1 and Tier-2 Weekly Report 2012-09-04
General News
- ADC and ATLAS Computing News [20120904]
- New request for another 1M XP_Higgs events - about 9k cpu-days
- ADC Weekly meeting
- 0.9 fb^-1 collected last week (34% duty factor), peak luminosity 7.3x10^33cm^-2s^-1, Total delivered luminosity 13.7fb^-1
- Xmas shutdown starts Dec 17, 2012
- Cleanup of T1 disk space
- T1-T1 Data consolidation halted
- Reduction of mc11%AOD%tid%, data11%AOD%tid% on T1_DATADISK (from 2 to 1 primary copy) after decision at the last CREM meeting
- Deletion of unmerged HITS, unmerged AOD when merged ones were available. Freed a few 100 TB on each T1
- Identification of group datasets still on T1_DATADISK because they had no destination. Groups will be asked to do some cleanup
- Lifetime of ESD data on disk. Final check with physics community. Aim is to go from 6 to 4 weeks.
- Proposal to switch ToACache to the one generated by AGIS https://indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?contribId=9&resId=0&materialId=slides&confId=206068
- 100% identical to DDM ToACache
- Web UI under test
- Rollback is an issue as information is cached for ~ day
- Testing pilots still need to be completed
- Propose test period in a couple of weeks for all clients and then commit to this
- Discussion about deletion of GROUP datasets https://indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?contribId=6&resId=0&materialId=slides&confId=206068
- Deletion of "old/buggy" (i.e. obsolete) datasets to free up space.
- Deletion of "intermediate" datasets - frees up space in T1 DATADISK (2PB!). Transient datasets that were subsequently merged and replicated to GROUPDISK.
- Send out alerts two weeks prior. Could affect user subscribed data on LOCALGROUPDISK as all copies will get deleted.
- Confer with physics groups and coordinators
- Report from French sites for T2D status https://indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?subContId=0&contribId=5&resId=0&materialId=0&confId=206068
- Slow transfers from most FR sites (5 in France + BEIJING-LCG2) to/from TRIUMF mentioned - none achieve 5 MB/s.
- Do see improvements in bandwidth with sites joining LHCONE.
- Note that SONAR tests performance affected when IN2P3-CC is very busy
