Operations News

  • Old 2.1.12 DLS now working against 2.1.13 Facilities
  • Testing has confirmed that with the current updated version of FTS, files from disk servers in draining no longer cause access problems.
  • May errata + kernel rolled out to all test systems.

Operations Problems

  • (Tue) New CMS workflow started Wait I/O contention on cmsDisk disk servers. Reducing total slot count + increasing xrootd weighting brought instance down for ~2 hours on Wednesday, resulting in a callout. Transfer manager changes were reversed and CMS load on batch farm reduced with brought CMS back, but it was only until lazy download was turned on again on Thursday that the problem went away.
