| IHS-782 | My work computer cannot ssh into lsst-dev via wired ethernet | Russell Owen | 06/Feb/18 | 06/Feb/18 | User cannot log in to lsst-dev via wired connection at UW. The user's IP was blocked by NCSA Security because it was detected attempting brute force ssh scans. The IP was in use by another device at the time. The block has since expired and the incident reported to UW security. Culprit was someone else with a raspi |

Change Management
This process primarily targets requests that can be handled with current level of effort (LOE) resources. This process is also designed to detect and redirect items to the EVMS process if they exceed LOE resources.
Successful changes proceed through 5 stages:
1 | Business Case & T/CAM Concurrence | Check that the submitter has stated a plausible business case and the relevant T/CAM agrees |
| 2 | Feasibility | Is the change well-formulated, address a project need and |
| 3 | Planning | A detailed implementation plan is created which takes into account impacts, resource needs, testing and verification. |
| 4 | Insertion | The plan is executed to implement the change. |
| 5 | Assessment | Verification of successful change, issues analysis, documentation and close-out. |
Open Change Requests
| Key | Summary | Process Stage† | Reporter | P | Created | Status |

| IHS-766 | Feasibility | Paul Domagala |  | 01/Feb/18 | A complementary RFC has been filed: RFC-443, Re-enable per user quotas in home directories NCSA has yet to discuss this. | |
| IHS-580 | DM developers need a build/test environment that supports docker containers | Feasibility | Joshua Hoblitt |  | 02/Nov/17 | |

Heard on the Street This Week, but no Ticket Filed

Previous
It was suggested that per-user storage usage for each shared fileset be made available. Preferably readable by any DM member.
- Several users expressed a desire to have the Intel compiler suite (icc) available on last-dev
- Increase ssh idle session timeout, which is currently 1 hr. (John Parejko via Slack)
- Suggestion to deploy kubernetes on PDAC, it is assumed that this is being handled through the rolling-wave (EVMS) process
- Tools for parallel programming in batch computing environment (gnu parallel and others)
Change Process Notes
- Paul has contacted corresponding T/CAMs to understand business need, obtain concurrence & document in each LDMCR
- Change process is being exercised, refined and socialized with T/CAMs as well as submitters
Problem Management
A problem registry has been begun here to analyze incidents in an effort to identify root cause, frequency and severity.
Interactions
- Nothing new
- Last PDAC meeting 11/16/2017.
This meeting will resume on
- Last meeting
- Shared storage usage was the major topic of discussion
- Daily usage statistics are now generated for filesets /home, /project, /datasets, /scratch
- The Infrastructure group was briefed on an upcoming reservation in the batch computing environment to support processing of HSC-PDR1 data.
- Next meeting
Other business
Action Items
- Unknown User (pdomagala), prototype a service mgt. dashboard (viewpoint experiment)
- Unknown User (pdomagala), produce system design document. Define incident. Roadmap. Define targets. What systems cover availability mgt.
- Unknown User (pdomagala), run the change request wording by Margaret. If approved, post in the developer docs. Maximize use of pointers.
