2. ACTIVITY REPORT

2.1. Progress Summary

  1. LCMAPS message report sent to SA1 coordinators, and introduced in RT ticket: https://rt.egi.eu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=1983
  2. Internal survey to the Ibergrid sites about evaluation of the quality of services and tools at disposal of the site administrators. Analysis and discussion of the survey results in the weekly Ibergrid Operations meeting.
  3. New operations Wiki: http://ibergrid.lip.pt.
  4. Analysis of the 1st EGI review report.
  5. Push sites to implement VOMS redundancy for the Ibegrid VOs
  6. Implementation of the TopBDII HA proposal in NGI_IBERGRID. Process is being tracked via GGUS ticket: https://ggus.eu/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=74883

2.2. Main Achievements

  1. Two new sites were joined to the infrastructure: ARAGRID-CIENCIAS and RC-GISELA-CETA.
  2. It has been installed a dedicated WMS to support the Ibergrid VOs.

2.3. Issues and mitigation

Issue Description Mitigation Description
UOGRID site is still suspended. This site entering in suspension status after 1 month of downtime during the last QR5.
There was several issues related with the Ibergrid Regional Nagios:
  • There was an external issue related with the connection between RedIris and the Galicia centers), which affected to the Ibergrid Regional Nagios. The incident had place on 08/09/2011, and it took from 01:00 AM CEST to 13:00 PM CEST. GGUS ticket #74146 was open in order to do not take into account that period in the A/R metrics.
  • There was an external issue related with the top-bdii configured in the R-Nagios, which affected to the Ibergrid Regional Nagios. The incident had place on 19/09/2011, and it took from 22:00 PM CEST to 12:00 AM CEST (20/09/2011). GGUS ticket #74652 was open in order to do not take into account that period in the A/R metrics.
  • It was necessary to reinstall the Ibergrid Regional Nagios, due to an issue related with the Mysql. GGUS ticket #75701 was open in order to do not take into account that period in the A/R metrics.
