Yes we can! It is the standard 80/20 split. We put 20% of the effort in to get it 80% working and will spend 80% of the effort to get the final 20% working. The focus now should shift towards looking at the failures, prioritizing them, then dealing with them. |

Please have a look at: http://boincai05.cern.ch/CMS-dev/forum_thread.php?id=100&postid=1993 Single hosts or volunteers causing large number of fails need to be stopped/fixed. If you need the IP, i can PM it to you. |

Just a reminder, we probably need a new batch within the next 12-15h. |

Pending 8193 and Queued 0 and not getting jobs. Something wrong? |

Possibly. I made a request yesterday to investigate why we had over 1K jobs running but only about 50 tasks. I guess someone is looking into it now. |

Sorry for the lack of news, I've had my head down since Monday with a cold or 'flu that's taking longer to clear than I anticipated. Seems the necessary security updates for the recent glibc problem have had some side-effects. Not sure how long it will take to clear, it's not the best time of day to try to re-establish communications with the team. :-(

Glad to hear, that you are better, now. It seems, riahi has his WMAgent job working. Producing valid results, now. |

Anything happening? I just sent one back and got a new one with no problem and the server status says 101 to send. (only running one right now because.......) About 43 minutes ago. http://boincai05.cern.ch/CMS-dev/result.php?resultid=114848 Mad Scientist For Life

Thanks, Magic. Nice finished task with absolutely no work done. |

...task with absolutely no work done. Same here. Glidein keeps trying but is failing to load various files (different hosts, different attempts, different files) from some server at RAL. Goes to sleep, tries again etc. For example:- Fri Feb 26 01:24:59 GMT 2016 Failed to load file 'condor_config.dedicated_starter.ebsdRw.include' from 'http://lcggwms01.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:8319/factory/stage/glidein_v3_2_7'. Set NNW on everything. To bed. |

Well I tend to NOT sit and watch these run but I did check a couple times and they were running CMS glidein runs....ending and starting another and last one I saw was 21 One running right now is at run CMS application 8 after glidein 7 ended. Pretty much why I decided to just come back here and run only one host. Since the beginning all I have heard here was other members complaining about what MY host is doing. And just imagine how much I care about that. Glad I have been with Einstein for 11 years since that never happens there. It seems to just be part of ALL of the VB projects......even makes old Sixtrack look good.  But then the CMS Server is here in my house  Mad Scientist For Life

We are going to need a new batch, soon. What is it going to be? 2500 jobs? |

We are going to need a new batch, soon. I'm watching it. Hopefully we get down to ~100 during civil hours, otherwise I'll have to jump the gun. Yes, we've got fewer hosts participating at the moment and we need to get some statistics on stable populations for the suspend/resume study, so 2500 sounds about right. Maybe 2000, but that increases my workload. :-)

Thanks, Ivan. So, do we want to declare the new batch a "clean run"? Just to get some baseline figures on the errors. That would mean no fiddling like aborting, detaching, suspending, restarting etc. Unless it is absolutely necessary. (Will be hardest for me, but it's for science.) EDIT: And the same applies to server settings, fingers off! |

Thanks, Ivan. Yeah, I'd hope so. Let's get a baseline and go on from there. More reason to go for 2,000 over 2,500 I guess; sqrt(N) isn't too different. Oh, and if there's something I can change with my Condor modification script we can be sure it applies to only one batch at a time. :-)
