Welcome to the Biomed support team wiki pages. These pages are dedicated to the Biomed technical support team. They provide organisational information as to duty shifts, and technical information about common support tasks as well as best practices.

Oct. 2021: The new biomed ARGO instance is available here : https://biomed.ui.argo.grnet.gr

Minutes of the shift take-over conferences.

When a SE is to planned for decommissioning, launch the specific SE decommissioning procedure.

The following monitoring tools are currently under development / being tested. They could be used to give information on the VO status but they can't be assumed 100% reliable now. In any case problems should be reproduced manually before a GGUS ticket is submitted.

Note: ARGO probes are launched using a robot certificate that requires to be a Biomed member. We need to check regularly that membership has not expired, and in case it has, sign Biomed AUP in the name of the user (this is possible as VOMS admin) on https://cclcgvomsli01.in2p3.fr:8443/voms/biomed/ (last renewed early March 2020)

The VAPOR provides several operations features related to the monitoring of computing and storage resources (status of biomed Resources, unavailable and faulty resources, etc.). It is complementary of Nagios.

This list is consolidated from 2 sources:

  • the GOCDB provides status downtime, not in production and not monitored, as well as site uncertified,
  • the BDII provides status draining, closed, unknown….

Top BDII:
Make sure the lcg-infosites tool that is used to query the BDII has version > 2.6.9, that comes with gLite 3.2.
Use command: rpm -qa | grep infosites

For Biomed it is advised to refer to the top BDII in IN2P3
export LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS=cclcgtopbdii02.in2p3.fr:2170
The script below may help you detect inconsistencies between top BDIIs:

#!/bin/bash
# This script compares the list of BIOMED SEs returned by 2 top BDIIs: CERN and IN2P3
lcg-infosites --vo biomed --is cclcgtopbdii02.in2p3.fr se | cut -f2 | sort > /tmp/list_se_bdi_in2p3
lcg-infosites --vo biomed --is lcg-bdii.cern.ch se | cut -f2 | sort > /tmp/list_se_bdi_cern
diff /tmp/list_se_bdi_in2p3 /tmp/list_se_bdi_cern</tt>
