PS1 IPP Czar Logs for the week 2014-02-24 - 2014-03-02

(Up to PS1 IPP Czar Logs)

Monday : 2014-02-24

• 10:37 Bill set stdscience to stop. It is desperately in need of a restart.
  • serge came by and reported that the postage stamp server is slow. Restarted it and added a set of compute3 nodes.
  • 10:44 stdscience restarted with standard (low power host set)
  • restarting staticsky
• 14:45 CZW: quick note on how I investigated the issue from last night:
  • Step 1: check that registration was working correctly: regpeek.pl
  • Step 2: investigate the state of diffs: nightly_science.pl --debug --verbose --queue_diffs --date 2014-02-24 This command does not actually execute any commands, but does the full logic check to see what's up. The interesting line is: diff_queue: Number of input warps to make diffs is not even for target OSS and object ps1_14_1783! 4 : I should declare an exposure to be qualityy. , which despite the spelling error, points out that object ps1_14_1783 has 5 warps, and so it needs to exclude one (because diffs require an even number of exposures). However, this is done based on exp_id (for historical reasons), which kicks out the visit 1 instance.

Tuesday : 2014-02-25

• 10:54 Bill: daily restart of pstamp server
• 11:27 Bill: stopping staticsky in preparation to rebuild the tag to support distribution of full force runs
  • back to run I will do this after lunch.
  • 12:59 set to stop
• 16:30 Bill: rebuilt ippsky's ipp and started up a pantasks to distribute the full force runs. This shouldn't take too long to complete.
  • 16:38 set staticsky to run
• 17:30 CZW: In an attempt to keep stdscience from falling behind, I've made the following changes:
  • stdscince:

     hosts add wave2; hosts off ignore_wave2
     hosts add wave2; hosts off ignore_wave2
     hosts add wave3; hosts off ignore_wave3
     hosts add wave3; hosts off ignore_wave3
     hosts add compute2; hosts off ignore_compute2
    

  • staticsky:

     hosts off wave3
    

Wednesday : 2014-02-26

• 05:10 Bill: processing is pretty far behind again. Set staticsky to stop. Rate may have climbed a little bit.
  • 06:10 summit copy backlog 67
• 07:30 Bill: added 2 sets of compute3 nodes to stdscience removed LAP label stdscience
  • pcontrol is spinning I'm not sure that pantasks is keeping things loaded as well as it could. status commands mostly timnig out.
  • really really need to do a daily restart
