March 13 power maintenance during which storage services were not available No planned downtime. ATLAS D1T0 data being moved from CASTOR to DPM (v1.8.0), mostly done; new data going to DPM directly.
BNL dCache 1.9.5-23 (PNFS, Postgres 9) None None
CNAF StoRM 1.5.6-3 (ATLAS, CMS, LHCb,ALICE) We have completed the installation and validation of the storage for 2011 and we are now enlarging the file-systems (done for LHCb, next week for the others). We are still waiting for the last InfnGrid StoRM release (1.6.2, the next one will be included in EMI 1), the first one on SL5. This release was due about one month ago: hence we have to change our deployment plans and we have negotiated with LHC experiments representatives to perform the upgrade of their StoRM end-points during the LHC technical stops: March 28 for Atlas, March 29 for LHCb and in May for CMS and Alice (exact days to be agreed).

Conditions data access and related services

COOL, CORAL and POOL

  • A new LCGCMT_60b has been prepared for ATLAS. The main motivation for this release is the upgrade to newer versions of the ROOT (5.28.00b) and Qt (4.6.3p2) external dependencies. The new release also includes a few bug fixes enhancements in CORAL and POOL, while it is based on the same COOL code base as LCGCMT_60a.

Database services

  • Experiment reports:
    • ALICE:
      • Intervention on Monday 7th from 9:15 to 10:15 in order to fix an electricity problem with one of the power boxes used by the Alice online database. The database was unavailable during the intervention.
    • ATLAS:
      • Muon Calibration data replication from 3 Muon sites: Michigan, Rome and Munich to CERN (ATLAS offline database) moved to production.
      • New schemas have been added to the ATLAS conditions Streams replication setup on Tuesday 15th March.
    • CMS:
      • CMS integration database affected by Oracle bug 7612454: More "direct path read" operations/OERI:kcblasm. Fix patch applied and tested. Recently, same issue affecting one application on CMS offline production database (CMSR). Waiting for green light from CMS to apply it in production (rolling intervention).
      • CMS online production database got stuck during a scheduled rolling reboot on Friday 4th February at 14:10, as part of the disk replacement. The hang was caused by an ASM locking and the database was unavailable for the users during 45 min.
      • CMS offline production database (CMSR) crashed on Friday 11th March on 10:20 due to a local power cut in the critical area of the CERN CC. Several disk arrays went down which in turn caused failure of the whole database. After the power was restored the database still could not be restarted due to failure of 2 disks containing mirror copies of data. The service was restarted on the standby hardware at 12:30. Unfortunately applications connecting from outside CERN could not reach the database until 3:10 when the CERN central firewall was re-configured to allow for such access. Detailed postmortem is available here https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/DB/PostMortem11Mar11
      • CMS offline production database (CMSR), running on standby hardware, failed on Tuesday 15th March at 11:45. The failure was caused by an issue in the SAN which is still being investigated. The database has been failed over to the original hardware. The service was fully restored at 13:20.
    • LHCB:
      • On Saturday 26th of February around 1am, the LHCB offline production database hung due to a problem with the controller for one of disk arrays attached to it. The service was fully recovered by 2:10am. The faulty controller has been replaced by the vendor.

  • Site reports:
