Operation problems
DNS issue with the genTape disk servers
Operation news
Modified show_waitspace that parses stagerd.log rather than the output of printmigrationstatus is running on all CASTOR Stagers
ralreplicas version for repack is available now
New hardware is being ordered for Facilities headnodes (vrtualization cluster) and disk servers
Plans for next week
GP: Fix-up on Aquilon SRM profiles: 1) Move nscd feature to a sub-dir task 2) Make castor/cron-jobs/srmbed-monitoring part of castor/daemons/srmbed feature task
Long-term projects
Headnode migration to Aquilon - Stager configuration and testing complete. Aquilon profiles for lst and utility nodes compile OK. Replicate current RAL setup as an intermediate step towards the making 'Macro' headnodes.
HA-proxyfication of the CASTOR SRMs
Target: Combined headnodes running on SL7/Aquilon - implement CERN-style 'Macro' headnodes.
Draining of 4 x 13 generation disk servers from Atlas that will be deployed on genTape
Draining of 10% of the 14 generation disk servers
Actions
RA/BD: Run GFAL unit tests against CASTOR. Get them here: https://gitlab.cern.ch/dmc/gfal2/tree/develop/test/
Miguel to determine of there is a need to have a nagios test for checking the number of entries on the newrequests table
RA to organise a meeting with the Fabric team to discuss outstanding issues with Data Services hardware
Staffing
GP on call
