Long-term projects
Headnode migration to Aquilon - The former vcert headnodes have been configured as CASTOR macroheadnodes and they pass functional tests Sl7 name severs installs ok. Next step: HAproxy
No point to move Atlas and CMS to the macroheadnode setup since their d1t0 data are moving to Echo over the next two months
HA-proxyfication of the CASTOR SRMs: HA proxy set up has been tested on the SRMs
RA writing a new accounting system to match WLCG archival requirements
Actions
JK to investigate why ralreplicas fails and submit a "bug" report
