Problem understood. I'll leave it to those more closely involved to explain. :-0!

Just took a look and I see I have 10 of these so far (5 Valids with the same pc's)

Does not look good. Something must be amiss with the certification server.

Well Ivan, earlier today I still got a few of those but also 15 Valids

Not sure why and I never had that problem with the thousands of Theory tasks I have run on these same computers here (and over at -dev)

I did run a handful of the 2-core version there too with no problem.

I'll have to let Laurence comment on that, it's in his bailiwick.

I had this same problem today with 17 Errors on my CMS stats

But about 45 Valids at the same time (several are shorter than usual tasks)

Possibly the shorter tasks were ones that were curtailed wnen I interrupted the queue because I'd submitted too many tasks at once.

Yes that makes sense Ivan
I just checked the time on those tasks and the were all finished within 5 minutes of each other.

Still having that DC_NOP failed!
AUTHENTICATE:1002:Failure performing handshake and recognized DC_NOP as command name, using command 60011.
ERROR: couldn't locate (null)!
[ERROR] Could not ping HTCondor.
problem.

I am going to take a look at the times for those since I am running these CMS on three pc's that are all the same (one does have 24GB ram and the other 2 have 16GB)

I noticed two have IPv4 and IPv6 and one still says just IPv4 for some reason but that isn't the problem and all 3 running on the new satellite IP

Download is fast and upload is pretty good too, but you know how servers can get when they have to travel as far as it is from my Dish to Cern servers.

BUT I have turned in 150 Valids in the last 4 days with these three 8-cores

This said Condor exited after 11117 seconds without running a job.

The HTcondor update was around 1300 UTC, so it looks like you got caught across it. I'm not expert enough to speculate exactly what happened; I've been assured that any jobs caught up like that will be resubmitted, but it's a pity you didn't get credit for your CPU time.

No problem, thanks for the explanation!

Are you aware of the read peaks shown on the 2 graphs at the bottom of the cms_job page?

Hadn't seen that, thanks for pointing it out. Possibly correlates with a small perturbation in the proxy graph, so I'll put it down to a network disturbance, unless it continues.

Hmm, another spike just now that I don't see an immediate cause for. I'll poke around my monitors and the CERN computing mailing lists.

No clues yet. All my completed tasks seem to have terminated normally.

Message 31413 - Posted: 15 Jul 2017, 19:15:38 UTC - in response to Message 31412.  

there seems to be an issue with CMS tasks for all the day: on all my 3 PCs on which I am crunching CMS, I notice that a running task does not use the CPU for extended periods of time.
After such periods, it continues to work "normally".

Maybe this is in the nature of the current CMS work units, or there is some problem with Condor, WMAgent, the network, or ... ???

The work units have been the same since last Christmas. This sounds like a network issue, although our proxy is not showing any unusual signs. Main suspect is a problem accessing the cvmfs repository, although we do also rely heavily on the conditions database (frontier) which I suspect uses its own proxies. I'll see if there's anything suspicious in your task logs.

Ivan, this task definitely shows an anomaly: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=150956525

Total runtime is almost 2 hours longer than CPU time. Whereas normally the difference is only between 30 and 45 minutes.

Ivan, this task definitely shows an anomality: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=150956525

Total runtime is almost 2 hours longer than CPU time. Whereas normally the difference is only between 30 and 45 minutes.

OK, no real smoking gun yet. In one instance it took around seven minutes for a new job to start after the previous one finished -- the rest are around 10-30 seconds, so that's a bit suspicious. Any slack to take up the rest of the excessive extra time must have come during the actual job runtime. Since the red peaks in the Job Activity graphs are actually for failed jobs, I'm still looking for jobs (not necessarily tasks) that failed after about 1500 UTC today.

It seems that there is an error in the stage-out phase.
I saved stderr.log and stdout.log of my currently running WU.
Let me know if they are of interest.

<edit>
My WU decided to finish it's break while I was typing the message above.
So, at the moment it is running normal.
