2.3. Issues and mitigation

Issue Description Mitigation Description
gLite 3.1 to gLite 3.2 migration making slow progress Migration handled by Quattor, some services not available
Power issues (overloading of UPS) at scgNUIGie in January required shutdown of 12 dual-core nodes Have deployed an additional 24-core SMP unit
NFS issues at csTCDie (vendor supplied solution related) resulted in long running jobs failing at last stage of job management split load over 4 servers, increased default timeouts and retries, forced restart of lower level services
Weaknessess in globus cleanup script (over NFS) Writing script to clean old files
csTCDie is still waiting on production ready glite-CLUSTER node type to integrate Ubuntu and PS3 nodes
VO dashboard information is sometimes not updated. Quattor sites depend on up-to-date information, thus recent issues seen with move of DTEAM to NGI-GR
Detected problem with Nagios MPI sensor at csUCCie Problem fixed by EGI Nagios tools group
