Decommissioning of dCache 2.10

  • support for the dCache 2.10 ended at December 2016
  • according to EGI policies, dCache 2.10 must be decommissioned https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/PROC16_Decommissioning_of_unsupported_software
  • broadcast sent on Feb2 https://operations-portal.egi.eu/broadcast/archive/1631 + email sent on Feb7 to noc-managers mailing list
  • sites to upgrade their 2.10 endpoints to a newer "golden release" of dCache
    • 2.13, whose support ends on July 2017, which means in about 7 months from now, or
    • 2.16, whose support ends on May 2018: here take care that the dCache team does not support the upgrade from 2.10 directly to 2.16; only 2.10->2.13 and 2.13->2.16 transitions are supported.
  • decommissioning campaign will be started by EGI Operations to monitor the upgrade of the dCache 2.10 instances and follow up with the NGIs/sites; tickets will be opened this week
  • deadline is end of April, having all the sites more than 2 months to plan and perform the upgrade
  • reference: https://www.dcache.org/downloads/1.9/index.shtml

Testing of the storage accounting

As discussed during the January OMB, the APEL team would need one site per NGI for testing the storage accounting. The eligible sites are the ones providing either dCache or DPM storage elements.

More information can be found in the following wiki: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/APEL/Storage

List of sites available for test.

Proposal to modify the declaration of scheduled interventions

Currently (see MAN02 Service intervention management) scheduled interventions (of any duration) MUST be declared at least 24 hours in advance, specifying reason and duration; any intervention declared less than 24 hours in advance will be considered unscheduled.

WLCG proposed the following modification:

  • a scheduled intervention shorter than 5 days must be declared at least 24 hours in advance
  • a scheduled intervention longer than 5 days must be declared at least 1 month in advance
  • any other intervention that don't fulfill the rules above will be considered unscheduled

Monthly Availability/Reliability

  • Underperformed sites in the past A/R reports with issues not yet fixed:
    • AsiaPacific GGUS 125427
      • TW-NCUHEP: site-bdii unstable
    • NGI_DE GGUS 125430
      • UNI-SIEGEN-HEP: waiting for the fix for CREAM probe.
    • NGI_NL: GGUS 123532
      • BelGrid-UCL: UNKNOWN status returned by CREAM probes, waiting for the fix for CREAM probe.
    • NGI_UA:
      • UA-NSCMBR GGUS 125839: on nagios the ARC-CE tests are OK, on ARGO it is reported an UNKNOWN status
  • Sites suspended after past A/R reports:
    • TUDresden-ZIH (NGI_DE)
  • Underperformed sites after 3 consecutive months and underperformed NGIs:

ARGO proposal to use GOCDB as the only source of topology information

  • Timescale:
    • New GOC-DB release on Dec 7th including a boolean ‘monitored’ flag for the service endpoints
    • Then creation of a web UI view for uncertified sites in ARGO
    • Uncertified sites will be asked to fill in the service endpoints information. Follow the How to add URL service endpoint information into GOC-DB
    • As information is added in the GOCDB, uncertified sites/services will be picked up by the ARGO Monitoring Engine and they will start to be monitored
    • By Q2 2017: support for multiple service endpoints
