Operations News
- The disk servers with reduced CASTOR overhead of 1% have started to become full. No problems have been observed yet. We plan to roll this new limit out to all disk servers in the new year.
- The new ElasticSearch-based CASTOR logging system is running smoothly against preprod, we plan to run a test against the GEN instance during the second half of next week.
- The testing of CASTOR 2.1.14 is ongoing. Applying the upgrade to the certification instance is planned next week.
Operations Problems
- A number very old files have been found to be missing during the ATLAS file rename campaign. Alastair assures us that these are appearing at a rate comparable to other Tier 1s.
