My activities

Routine checks. Let's see what is going on today.

Usual checks to do in the morning.

Consistency checks

twiki of IT-ES for consistency checks

• Enstore: about Enstore service at PIC and general documentation: here
• MSS monitoring page. More views and metrics available here
• GOCDB link for PIC

SLS monitoring

• Services for LHCb
• Services for LHCb users
• grid services

Space monitoring

• PIC space
• CNAF space
• GRIDKA space
• IN2P3 space
• SARA space
• RAL space
• CERN space

LFC monitoring:

• SLS sensor for LFC at CERN

DIRAC Voboxes services

LHCb

LHCb Data Management

• twiki under LHCb Computing official twiki
• Space token situation : here ( old link in my private page was here )
• Space token situation after the migration of April 2011: here. Situation site by site here
• Data cleaning plans here
• Name space convention
• Pictorial guide to the computing model with foreseen throughput of data
• Castor default pool usage here

Some links for LHCb

• LHCb home page at CERN
• General documentation
• Dashboard Site status for the LHCb sites
• VOCard at CIC portal for LHCb
• LEMON monitoring: for hosts
• Space monitoring:
  • Space tokens table: displays the pledged, allocated and free space for every space token of all sites. A nicer view given by Site Status Board.
  • Space token deployment twiki page
• Cern-VM usage in LHCb

Meetings

• Indico page for computing meeting (PASTE, production operations, LHCb/IT...)
• Software weeks
• PASTE meeting

Software

• LHCbDirac web page
• All currently available software packages. Usually they are directly downloaded from here, but are installed with the install_project.py tool (see next item)
• Software installation procedure using the install_project.py tool
• Software tutorials
• DaVinci project web page

DIRAC

• DIRAC overview
• SLS monitoring of DIRAC DMS
• LHCb Dirac twiki
• More notes on DIRAC (maybe obvious but for sure interesting for a new developer trying to understand how all this works) here, and in particular about data management
• Guide for new DIRAC developers
• My dirac tasks

Ganga

• LHCb Ganga manuals
• A tutorial given at March 09 software week

Consideration about the computing model

Here some useful link about the LHCb computing model, and a list of interesting topics still in discussion. Link to LHCb computing model

Operations and Computing production shifts

All info about production shifts here

Production activity

See current situation of LHCb production

TEGS
