RAL Tier1 Operations Report for 18th March 2015

Review of Issues during the week 11th to 18th March 2015.
  • The replacement of the the primary Tier1 router did not fix the problem whereby the router fails after a few minutes in service.
Resolved Disk Server Issues
  • None
Current operational status and issues
  • We are running with a single router connecting the Tier1 network to the site network, rather than a resilient pair.
Ongoing Disk Server Issues
  • None
Notable Changes made this last week.
  • Five additional disk servers have been deployed into Castor storage for ALICE_Disk. This roughly doubles the disk space available to ALICE which is now approximately 390TB.
  • On the CEs the upper memory limit was reduced from 5x requested memory to 3x.
  • ATLAS are now putting all UK transfers through our test FTS3.
