Operation problems
* Unroutable files to tape from CMS - need to anticipate this
* Load issue on genTape - possible fault with the recently deployed 2013 ds? Increased slot count
on 2013 boxes. Will set the 2011 servers to RO
Operation news
* Rob has retired fdsadm01 which is the old Fac WebDAV * lcgcadm03 and lcgcadm04 have been patched against Spectre/Meltdown
Plans for next few weeks
Long-term projects
Headnode migration to Aquilon - Stager, scheduler, utility and nameserver configuration mainly complete. Stager, scheduler, utility tested seperately and all together on preprod. Combined Stager, scheduler, utility and SRM features in one node which passes functional tests
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
Target: Combined headnodes running on SL7/Aquilon - implement CERN-style 'Macro' headnodes.
Actions
RA/GP to talk to Chris Brew about alerting for new CMS file classes and tape families
RA to remove cedaRetrieve service class from cheksum validation
Investigate the history of the failed files on gdss766 (include RT tickets!!)
JK to investigate why ralreplicas fails and submit a "bug" report
RA/BD: Run GFAL unit tests against CASTOR. Get them here: https://gitlab.cern.ch/dmc/gfal2/tree/develop/test/
GP/RA to write a Nagios test to check for large number of requests on the NewRequests DB table that remain for a long time
