SGE-Maintenance at Thursday and Friday
by DaB. 02 May '12

02 May '12

Hello all, I will give the SGE-update (see my mail from last time [1]) another try this week and so I hereby announce downtime of the SGE-system on Thursday between 19:00 and 23:00 UTC. If the update is not successful on Thursday I will give it another try at Friday between 19:00 and 23:00 UTC. During the downtime no SGE-process will start on any server, while processes/jobs that had started already will continue to run; jobs which are queued at the beginning of the maintenance-window will start after the window is done. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Sincerely, DaB. P.S: Just to be clear: There will be ONLY maintenance on the SGE, not on the databases like last time.

Monthly report 2012-04
by DaB. 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

Hello all, since a few months a weekly report [1] about events in the german-speaking Wikipedia and the Wikimedia-organizations is send to a few mailing-lists; I think that this is a very good idea and so I will try to establish something similar for the TS too (on monthly base). For the soon-ending April I wrote a short report below and I think we can all together write a report for May on a wiki-page [2]. Sincerely, DaB. = Report for April 2012 = == s2 and s6 corrupt == It was discovered this month that the databases of s6 [A] and s2 [B] are defect and will need a re-import. A dump of s6 was already requested at 2. April at the WMF, but no response yet. A dump for s2 will be requested soon. *[A]; https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/MNT-1228 *[B]: https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-1348 == s1 is back to normal == Both server for s1 (enwiki) are back to normal [A]. *[A]: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-announce/2012- April/000484.html ==Interwiki-Bot-MMP-rule is in charge == On 2. April the new "No interwiki-bos outside the interwiki-bot-MMP"-rule became relevant [A]. Because no MMP was created to that timestamp yet, the date was moved to 15. Mai [B]. Toto Azéro started a thread about planing the MMP short time ago [C]. *[A]: https://wiki.toolserver.org/w/index.php?title=Rules&diff=6603&oldid=5988 *[B]: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2012-April/004913.html *[C]: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2012-April/004930.html == SGE-Update not successful == A second try to update the SGE to version 6.2u5p2 was not successful [A]. The import of the old config into the new system aborts every time. We need the update to include the new Linux-boxes. *[A]: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2012-April/004924.html ==Reminder of hackathon == Sumana Harihareswara reminded us about the Berlin hackathon which will take place in Berlin (Germany) in the beginning of June [A]. *[A]: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2012-April/004917.html ==Wikidata started == The working on Wikidata started on 1. April [A]. This is not a real topic for the TS at the moment, but I am sure that plenty of tools will be created as soon as the project is alive. *[A]: http://www.wikimedia.de/wiki/Pressemitteilungen/PM_3_12_Wikidata_EN ==DaB. added as TS-Announce-ML-admin == The WMF-techs added me as a admin for the Toolserver-announce-mailinglist so that I can add and remove people myself (before only River could do that). More people should be able to send important mails to that mailinglist in near future. Until next month, DaB.

I will be away between Wednesday and Sunday
by DaB. 15 Apr '12

15 Apr '12

Hello all, I will be away between Wednesday (18.) and Sunday (22.) because of my duties as cash auditor (Kassenprüfer) of the WMDE. I guess that there will be time to read my mail, but I will not be in chat during this time-frame. So if you have a request, open a bug in JIRA (like you should always do ;)) and try to reach Nosy if it is urgent. Sincerely, DaB. -- Userpage: [[:w:de:User:DaB.]] — PGP: 2B255885

News about s1/enwiki
by DaB. 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hello all, the import of s1 on thyme was finally done this morning (took a few days longer than I expected); replication is already running, replag is lower than 5 days at the moment. I declared it as sql-s1-rr and it is read-only at the moment (to speed up the replication a bit). I will also switch sql-s1-user to it and will make it read/write somewhen tonight. Shortly after I start the re-import on rosemary. Please note that thyme has no commons-copy at the moment, so joins between enwp/commons are not possible on sql-s1-rr at the moment and will not be possible on sql-s1-user soon (when I start the re-import on rosemary).

Corruption of s6 and (short) downtime of s6 tomorrow (Tuesday)
by DaB. 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hello all, we discovered today that s6 became corrupt [1] after replication-problems last week [2]. We requested a dump already, because it will need a re-import, and we will try to keep the downtimes of s6 to a minimum. The first downtime will be tomorrow evening, starting 19:00 UTC and should be under 1h (I think 15min); we will preparing the re-import during this time (for the techs: We clone the zone of z-dat-s6-a). I will message you again when the dump-import is done and we will make the final switch (which will cause a read-only-time and another short down-time). Sincerely, DaB.
