From GridPP Wiki
Contents
Operations News
- Upgraded grid-ftp RPM rolled out to CMS and LHCb
- WAN tuning rolled out to all remaining service classes in CMS
- Confirmation from CERN that we 'should' be able to upgrade NS to 2.1.10 with stagers on 2.1.9-6 - needs testing
Operations Issues
- Callouts for low partition free space on SRM and NS, but neither had a production impact. Both being dealt with.
Blocking Issues
- Lack of production-class hardware running ORACLE 10g needs to be resolved prior to CASTOR for Facilities going into full production. Been ordered. Servers arriving this week, RAID device mid-March.

Advanced Planning
- Upgrade Gen disk servers to SL5 64bit and Quattorize the remaining non-Quattorized disk servers
- CASTOR certification and upgrade to 2.1.10 and upgrade of SRM to 2.10 which incorporates:
- fix for gridftp-internal to support multiple service classes, enabling checksums for Gen
- fix to report files on draining disk servers accessed by FTS to be NEARLINE not UNAVAILABLE
