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

Compilation and rollout status with XrdCeph and rocky 8: 5.7.x

Thomas, Jyothish (STFC,RAL,SC)

5.7.2 published.
Investigating xrootd.redirect for write operations.

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

XRootD Site Testing Framework

Discussion in Storage Meeting in how to integrate the various testing structures within the UK. container with the testing framework TBD

UKSRC - Acting as source for SRCNet verification tests; not being stressed so far …

Teir-1 .

UKSRC Storage Architecture

Through discussions, need to change the DNS entries for the data and mgmt interfaces, update netbox and reconfigure in AQ. Data network will be (exclusively) for the DTN / data traffic. mgmt for ancillary needs (icinga, AQ). Host will be known via its mgmt dns name (the canonical name).

Site reports

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Glasgow - Brief failures to authenticate internally - some of the lsc files for atlas iam were out of date despite using RPM.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
