2. Operational Issues

2.1 GOCDB data scoping overview

Presentation: File:GocdbScopingHighLevel.pdf

2.2 Top BDII memory issue

A serious memory issue was reported in two GGUS tickets:

[ 76337 ]: "bdii tmpfs fills up and silently fails"

[ 73840 ]: "bdii memory leak?"

The RAMdisk usage of the service increases until the service occupy all the available memory. After that it needs to be restarted.

The BDII versions affected are:

  • gLite 3.2.11
  • EMI 1.0.0-1

No information about EMI 1.0.1 (Distributed with UMD 1.3), if it is affected or not.

First partial mitigation suggested by developer:

  • Configuration patch, comments the following directives:
    #set_flags DB_LOG_INMEMORY
    #set_flags DB_TXN_NOSYNC
    This reduces the memory grow, but does not solve the problem

Mitigation:

  • The only workaround for the problem, so far, is to restart the Top-BDII service.

2.3 Survey ongoing

Survey about the request for SLURM support in CREAM. Survey description

  • Deadline is tomorrow: Dec 14th.
  • Many sites answered (69), probably most of the sites not interested in SLURM, and happy with the list of LRMS supported by CREAM, did not answer (reasonably).

2.4 Middleware requirements gathering campaign

  • Requirements for ARC/gLite/GLOBUS/UNICORE.
  • The campaign is ongoing and it will be closed on January 15th, to let OMB discuss the requirements list.
  • instructions
