Swiss Grid Operations Meeting on 2018-03-01 at 14:00

Site status

CSCS

  • Piz Daint
    • Maintenance operations last week:
    • Moved all LHConCRAY compute nodes to the same cabinet (c9-0) along with all relevant service nodes (DVS and DataWarp). This should reduce the dependency/impact on the overall HSN of LHConCRAY workflows.
      • DVS client caching enabled (so far shows no improvements)
      • Increased DVS nodes from 5 to 8. Work in progress to get them operational.
      • DataWarp (swap) currently not working. Work in progress to get this fixed.
    • Hot-topic: singularity.
      • VOs able to run in singularity containers using regular Tier-2 workflows.
      • However, this is rather a hack (ssh to breakout shifter container) and would like to have a better long-term solution.
      • Could VO jobs run on SLE12SP2 right until singularity gets called? CMS? ATLAS?
      • If so, need to tune CE entries and CVMFS caching (no preloaded cache for this, but likely a shared-rw cache across all nodes).
    • Work happening:
      • Deploying new ARC server for Dom, the TDS of Piz Daint.


  • Phoenix
GPFS
- No major issues but the system is mostly overloaded
- Testing "expected" speed in order to understand the performance we have now
- Planning new hardware architecture

dCache
- Updated to the latest 2.16 release (2.16.60)
- CMS spacemon upload process is working well
- Did some fixes to the fetchcrl, workaround for linkgroup update bug
- Introducing Marco Passerini to the infrastructure
- Using the users mailing list instead of the ticket system
