Item | Presenter | Notes |

---|---|---|---|
Operational Issues (Gateway Auth failures) | @Thomas, Jyothish (STFC,RAL,SC)
| Saturation on the external gateways on Friday 27/09 all common gateways on 5.7.1 '23 gws network issue might have been due to network advertisement priority to CERN - legacy network was higher in priority |
|
cms-aaa naming convention |
| cms-aaa is the only remaining personality to use proxy/ceph as the xrootd service names cms proxy cfg ->unified.cfg ceph-> tcp.cfg a separate naming convention would be more appropriate - main/supporting?
|
|
Compilation and rollout status with XrdCeph and rocky 8: 5.7.x | @Thomas, Jyothish (STFC,RAL,SC) | All (external gateways) upgraded to 5.7.1 batch still on 5.5.4; to upgrade to 5.7.1 (with proxy cache patch) with Tom Birkett time. 5.7.1 will have FD and memory fixes.as well as improvements for the XCache |
|
XrootD Workshop plan | @Alastair Dewhurst @Katy Ellis | XRootD and FTS Workshop @ STFC UK discussed at the storage meeting Xrootd 6 is coming xrdceph is getting merged back into core xrootd - planned for Xrootd 6 |
|
HTCondor |
| Pelican - 'Wizard' like webUI for configuration Tokens - non WLCG tokens use different token profiles/protocols
|
|
Shoveler | @Katy Ellis | Shoveler installation and monitoring all the batch farm wn connected fine shoveler is meant to run on the same host as the gw to avoid UDP packet loss |
|
Deletion studies through RDR | @Ian Johnson
|
|
|
Deletions | RAL deletions are within allowed times for ATLAS tests currently
|
| |
WN changes | @Alexander Rogovskiy | Read requests fail for proxy+origin setup under heavy load · Issue #2308 · xrootd/xrootd now in 5.7.1 (and patched 5.7.0). |
|
periodic hackaton? |
| group coding/testing for specific tasks |
|
Xrootd testing framework |
| testing VM to be set up and be used for preprod testing Rob C - working on kubernetes deployment component Unit tests for xrootd (added since 5.7.0) ctest -VV -C Release -DCDASH=1 -DCOVERAGE=1 -S test.cmake |
|
XrootD gateway specs |
| 100Gb NICs Adding NICs to current gateways? keeping networking simple preferred on adding 100G NICs to current gws - switches might get overloaded
|
|
SKA Gateway box | @James Walder | https://stfc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UK/pages/215941180

|
Future developments ideas planning work | @Ian Johnson @Thomas, Jyothish (STFC,RAL,SC) |
| |
Tokens Status |
| To split this into Operational aspects and any development / long-term planning aspects. technical implementation to accept tokens is in place, issues seem to be due to VO use cases on scheduling and accounting accounting - it’s in the pipeline but not coming soon on APEL |
|
Checksums improvements | @Alexander Rogovskiy @Thomas, Jyothish (STFC,RAL,SC) | There is a github issue open to merge this upstream Make stale checksum check optional for ceph storage endpoints · Issue #2338 · xrootd/xrootd streaming checksums |
