Swiss WLCG Operations Meeting on 2010-09-09

  • Date and time: 2010/09/09 at 9:30
  • Place: EVO, password: chipp
  • External link / EVO:http://evo.caltech.edu/evoNext/koala.jnlp?meeting=MDMaM82a28DuDs929lD99D

Agenda

  • Maintenance day report and site status
  • Status of Lustre problems
  • Status of new experiment software area
    • Derek: After fixing two local problems that were discovered during the installations by the central cms ops team, the CMS sw area is now ready.
    • Roland: LHCb sw area is ready.
  • Status of Phase D
    • Derek: We had a visit from Bull at PSI. When discussing different storage possibilities they also mentioned that they are using LSI solutions as the one suggested by CSCS in their slides. They seem to be price competitive and we now made a rather good experience with Bull in respect to a problem resolution with a DDN system that we had bought through them. Maybe one could get an offer for the HW from them (but maybe CSCS has an ETH Rahmenvertrag already for this kind of equipment).
  • Availability / Reliability values for July (79%) and August (47%). Numbers too low to be real, need to check numbers from VOs.
  • (Derek): Could CSCS give a short overview over the scheduling policies? Are there still the 100 (or so) reserved job slots for each experiment, so that we can guarantee a certain availability?
  • Review Action Items
    • CSCS: purchase hardware needed for implementing NFS setup
    • CSCS: open 3 tickets against Sun support; see ticket #7851
    • MG: check with VO to test CREAM CE and give status report; check availability of SAM tests for CREAM-CE
    • DF: check availability of SAM tests for CREAM-CE
  • AOB

Attendants

  • ATLAS: Marc, Gianfranco
  • CMS: Derek, Leo
  • LHCb: Ronald
  • CSCS: Peter, Pablo

Minutes

And also http://lxarda16.cern.ch/dashboard/request.py/historicalsiteavailability?siteSelect3=T2&sites=T2_CH_CSCS&timeRange=individual&start=2010-08-01&end=2010-08-30

  • Sheduling policies. We have the same reservations as before: 96 cores for Atlas, 96 cores for CMS, and 20 for LHCb.

Action items

  • CSCS is to open a ticket into GGUS to investigate if the formula to calculate availability/reliability changed, maybe Arc01 problems made the whole site red.
  • CSCS is also asking Bull for an offer for the storage for PhaseD
  • CSCS is going to downgrade Lustre clients to 1.8.3
