Operations News
- Proposed CASTOR face to face W/C Oct 5th or 12th
- New SRM version under testing. Works OK for a single job but hits trouble with many jobs.
- SL6 disk server config now testable, although needs solution for CV11 nodes and hooks to add WAN tuning.
Operations Problems
- CMS still upset. We believe that the current blocker is the read rate from disk - for this reason we are looking at undoing the 'heart bypass' implemented for CMS and using the scheduler again.
- Brian and Shaun investigating double putstart problem
- The gridmap file on the the webdav host lcgcadm04.gridpp.rl.ac.uk is not auto-updating - needed for lhcb and vo.dirac.ac.uk
Blocking Issues
- grid ftp bug in SL6 - stops any globus copy if a client is using a particular library. This is a show stopper for SL6 on disk server.
Planned, Scheduled and Cancelled Interventions
- 4th August CASTOR down for network testing
- Stress test SRM poss deploy week after (Shaun)
- Upgrade CASTOR disk servers to SL6
Advanced Planning
Tasks
- Proposed CASTOR face to face W/C Oct 5th or 12th
