Message 28116 - Posted: 14 Dec 2016, 18:39:44 UTC

My currently running WUs lost their condor connection (ports 9623, 9818).
Is it a server problem?

Yep, looks like the Condor server at RAL.

Jobs that finish without an error normally upload a result via a PUT request to vc-cms-output.cs3.cern.ch.

Since the condor servers are back I miss this PUT in my logs.
There is nothing, not even an aborted upload.

I'm afraid you were caught by the bunch of "echoes" from the Condor failure. Jobs completed and staged out during the problem, but Condor was unable to log this. So Condor timed them out and rescheduled (I guess) when it was healthy again, still as attempt 0. When the rescheduled job tried to stage out it found the original result file already there, so it deleted it and reported an error, upon which Condor rescheduled it as attempt 1. :-(

So, the error 151 dissappears after a couple of WUs and there´s no need to inform the project admins?
It´s one of those things that correct itself "automagically" when the faulty jobs leave the queue, right?

Perhaps I reconnected too early.
My currently running WUs show 100% success rate:

Yes, it's "self healing" to a large extent. I do monitor the graphs as best I can, and large spikes send me trawling through the log files until I think I understand them.

I deleted a couple of large log files in /var/backup. I'll go through compressing some of the older stuff later, but I don't have permission on all of the files.

Please set No New Tasks for CMS until Condor is working again.

Please ignore this message now, Condor is up again.

During early hours of 29th of January 5 CMS tasks were unable to load jobs from Condor. Ping was successful (0) but no jobs were sent to host. Earlier (28th) there was no problem and I had finished tasks. Here's one of the failures https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=117282122

Yes, something's happened with jobs getting to the Condor server. WMStatus says there are plenty of jobs to be sent. Investigating (as well as I can from this far away...)

I've submitted a new batch of jobs in case WMStatus is badly reporting the jobs to be sent, but its report coincides with what I see on the Condor server status and is consistent with the behaviour we are seeing. I've notified Laurence.

[Edit] The new batch turned up on WMStatus, so I think that is working as expected. [/Edit]

CMS urgently needs admin intervention.

I know, but they're a bit thin on the ground on Sundays. As far as I can tell the WMAgent server is working, and the Condor server is definitely working (I can query it for job details, etc). Communications between them and/or the WMStatus system also appears to be working. I'm now starting to suspect something like a full partition on the Condor server, but I don't think I can query that with condor_* commands -- and it's still serving jobs for the other apps.

Sorry, all we can do is wait.

Turns out the problem was with WMAgent. The error handler failed so it wasn't processing errors and job slots weren't cleared, leading to a bottleneck and no new jobs being sent. Seems to be largely cleared now.
