Tier1 and Tier-2 Weekly Report 2013-03-05
General News
- ADC and ATLAS Computing News [20130305]
- ADC Weekly meeting
- Switching Panda SchedConfig from SVN to AGIS
- Switch occurred Feb 28 - not entirely painless (some null fields not set properly at first, causing pilot downtimes)
- Exceptions: dynamic configs (comment_, status, nqueue, etc)
- BDII is no longer a dependency
- Multiple backups, including SVN
- Updates every 5 minutes
- Installedsw is still on a 20-minute cycle
- Queue deletion triggers an email to schedconfig@gmail.com.
- If more than 15% of the queues are slated for deletion, update does not proceed (protection against null input from AGIS)
- AGIS is the master of the topology:
- People allowed to modify svn SchedConfig has been granted privileges to modify AGIS (Panda-Admin role).
- AGIS can cope with OSG, CMS and AMS and Cloud resources
- The CE is now used to get the proper software releases
- Discussion already ongoing with AleDS to properly tag releases also for sites without CEs
- New attribute needed to identify cloud resources, e.g. resource_type Grid/Cloud
- SW releases has been published in AGIS since already 3 months.
- SAM topology is taken from http://atlas-agis-api.cern.ch/request/atp/xml/
- CE associated to any PandaQueue are “activated”, published into the xml, and (hopefully) tested

SSB Results
- Critical tests for each site in the Site Status dashBoard are available at the links below
SSB PanDA Test Queue Availability (month)
- this metric, measured for the analysis queues, defines the site status for data preplacement as alpha (
T2D and avail > 90%), bravo (T2 and avail > 90%) or charlie (< 90%).
SAM Results
- site service status via Gridview
- Please check your site
- April 2012 Detailed Site Information (valid until 20120430):
- TRIUMF-LCG2
- Australia-ATLAS
- CA-ALBERTA-WESTGRID-T2
- CA-SCINET-T2
- CA-VICTORIA-WESTGRID-T2
