Discussion

  • Our VIRGO contact is the VIRGO Computing Coordinator Stefano Bagnasco ([email protected]).
  • IRIS-HEP Analysis Systems workshop today and tomorrow.
  • AI (Diego): diagnose XRootD 5 on EL8 issues.
  • AI (Edgar):
    • debug why xrootd-multiuser plugin keeps XRootD server from starting.
    • debug why binary used to generate macaroons is core dumping; contact Zach Miller for assistance.
  • AI (Mat): help Mark Coatsworth with EL8/Python3 support for HTCondor-CE.

  • Multiple issues with BOSCO/Hosted-CEs:

    • Job persistence hasn't been implemented for Hosted-CE containers yet, which means restarts kill jobs. This makes testing and config updates somewhat harmful. A potential solution is using a PersistendVolumeClaim but that's not easy on SLATE.
    • Bosco keeps persistent state in /tmp; Expanse had their submit node set up with DNS round-robin which means state was sometimes there, sometimes not. Edgar added a manual workaround.

Support Update

  • Expanse (Edgar, BrianL): CMS user not being set up properly and PATH being overriden: PRs in to fix both
  • JLab (Edgar): Figured out origin port re-use issue: problem with the site config

OSG Investigations Team

  • Elasticsearch on Kubernetes!
  • OASIS upgrade last week (supports SSH logins via authorized keys registered in COmanage!).
  • OSG GRACC upgrade coming this week, v7.8.2 -> v7.9.2.
