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 |
