Operation problems
Possible CMS problem on Sunday - no ticket found.
tape usage plots for facilities instance of castor are not same with Tier1 RT196714 - PROGRESS, SEE TICKET
SOLID cannot write into CASTOR - ONGOING
Operation news
All Tier 1 tape servers upgraded to SL7/Aquilon
Facilities headnodes replaced with 'new' hardware, patched to latests kernel/errata. New headnodes didn't get the correct kernel, had to do a short-notice reboot on Thursday afternoon to fix this while under cover of another Diamond problem.
Plans for next week
Upgrade LHCb CASTOR SRMs to 2.1.16-18 Patch CASTOR to November kernel & errata.
Long-term projects
CASTOR stress test improvement
Configure multiple instances of a CASTOR generic headnode
Draining of remainder of 12 generation HW waiting on CMS migration to Echo
Combined headnodes running on SL7/Aquilon - implement CERN-style 'Macro' headnodes.
Special topics
Patching - consider turning repeatedly re-used patching plan into standard procedure.
Actions
RA to check if the disk server setting, changed to bring disk servers back more quickly after a CASTOR shutdown, is still in place
GP to talk to AL about service ownership/handover of the xroot manager boxes
RA/GP: Run GDAL unit tests against CASTOR. Get them here: https://gitlab.cern.ch/dmc/gfal2/tree/develop/test/
Staffing
TBD on call
GP out on Fri 17/11
