Operations News
- ATLAS instance successfully upgraded to 2.1.9-6 this week
Operations Issues
- WAN tuning was found to be missing from two Gen disk servers, leading to poor transfer rates for T2K.
- Unavailability of Overwatch caused complications while deploying the replacement SL08 capacity
- Gen xroot manager stopped working on Monday at the same time as the DNS problems. This affected ALICE jobs. Restarting it on Thursday fixed the problem.
- DLF database hardware had hardware problems on Thursday and was brought back on Friday.
Blocking issues
- Lack of production-class hardware running ORACLE 10g needs to be resolved prior to CASTOR for Facilities going into full production
