Operational Issues | mitigations have been communicated to ATLAS for the jobs using 5.6.0 clients reboot campaign | ||||||||||
Checksums issue with an ATLAS file | https://github.com/xrootd/xrootd/issues/2388 https://ggus.eu/index.php?mode=ticket_info&ticket_id=169360 Checksum requested before whole file is updated. No ability to do stale checksum check in ceph, so original checksum ‘sticks’ to the file. fix in place RAL side by clearing checksums after a write is complete | ||||||||||
cms-aaa naming convention | cms-aaa is the only remaining personality to use proxy/ceph as the xrootd service names Separate naming convention would be more appropriate, to have main/supporting (not so urgent). CC created, and sandbox is prepared and has been tested on a test host | ||||||||||
XRootD Managers De-VMWareification |
Option 2 preferred for efficiency, but Option 1 decided on Option 1 would be simpler to implement for a temporary fix, as the move would be reversed antares tpc nodes to be moved to an echo leafsw, to confirm ipv4 real estate with James hosts moved to rack, renamed and IP assigned. pending DI advertisement | ||||||||||
Compilation and rollout status with XrdCeph and rocky 8: 5.7.x | 5.7.2 published. 5.7.2 skipped on farm due to pfc bug, possible RAL release 5.7.3 equivalent with a fix for that and 5.6.0 client compatibility | ||||||||||

On the fly Checksums
| Added configuration to PoC: option to turn on/off Adler32 on-the-fly calculation. Proved ability to set XrdCks.adler32 attribute from “standalone” code (running from the command line), will incorporate this into PoC code next. (Wasted time looking for attribute in wrong file…) also to measure - trougput pattern (does this replicate the double troughput seen currently on first checksum request?) discussed on possible implementation as plugin/base xrootd crc32 also implemented here, noted that any new communities should use straight crc32 variants. | ||||||||||

Lancaster: Following on from last week, we were looking at the load reported by the (default) cmsd load reporting scripts, and they didn’t seem to match up to any numbers we could pull from the servers. We got distracted by other things before we could dive deeper.
LSST planning to use small files for read/writes, planning to remove TLS on pure xrootd, these seems to be intermediate files, but might need to be made available for quality conrol? looking at object store route (s3 for internal use) maybe?
combination of uid/host based auth resulted in the following error on curl:
unknown.2:28@comp21-04.private.dns.zone Unable to open /cephfs/grid/dteam/curltest; permission denied
...
Glasgow - Brief failures to authenticate internally - some of the lsc files for atlas iam were out of date despite using RPM. (possible issue on cron job), looking forward to the on the streamed checksums
