In addition to the uploaded presentation materials, the following QA and discussion was noted:
Experimental Support
- Google offering is pushed by DOE and used heavily by the scientific community
- survey results are posted and uploaded to presentation materials in Indico
- questions remain about the cost of the Google offering and to which accounts
Fabric
- Belle-2, PHENIX, sPHENIX are agreeable to an 8 hour mid-October HPSS maintenance
- ATLAS may request earlier date sometime early to mid October
- concerns are the B725 generator system is not yet ready for production
- We will propose dates and contact Liaisons in preparation
General Services
- asking Liaisons if there are any concerns with the eventual retirement of rcf3 host
- possible use cases currently are access for Pine email client, and campus data transfer
- Pine works fine with NX, and the new campus ftp service should be up beforehand
- Any concerns with unifying multiple user LDAP accounts are different shells
- users would have to choose a single shell
- copy/paste NX issue should be resolved in NX v.7
- issues with NX I/O errors timeouts and reconnecting still investigating
- possible workaround is to use the back arrow at the bottom before re-connecting
- privacyIDEA app push solution will eventually replace the current NX authorization
Topical Discussion - Jupyter Upgrade
- how do ENV get loaded for users from multi-collaboration
- based on GIDs of the user, they should be able to select from list of their experiment-provided ENV
- this solves conflicting lab and notebook plugin requests
- each experiment can maintain their own independent ENVs
- users can also override their own per-user
- default is to look in their home directory but can specify paths in NFS etc
- there is a call for help testing from Liaisons or software maintainers in coming weeks
AOB
- NSLS-2 currently in final days of 2nd shutdown plan to resume production early next week
- NSLS-2 plans a third shutdown approximately 3 weeks in December TBA
- STAR confirms RHIC run begins Dec 1 planning for 5 months PP500 high luminosity max data volume
- After HPSS maintenance sPHENIX and STAR mock data challenges sometimes in October TBD
