Operation problems
gdss762 (atlasStripInput) - running RAID verify.
gdss736 (lhcbDst) - Back in production
fdsdss34, 35, 36 - Down following reboot for patching. fdsdss34, 35, abck in prod, 36 stll down
The ACSSS tape library control server (buxton1) failed and refused to reboot. This created a backlog of canbemigrs which was eventually processed after the server was back up and running
Atlas Stager DB load problems continued. GC was not moving and the whole DISKCOPY table had to be recreated as it was fragmented RT201623
Operation news
Patching for Meltdown/Spectre done for castor-functional-test1 and lcgcadm01 boxes
GC accelerated on 12 atlasStripInput disk servers.
check_tape_pools cron and "c stager canbemigr" Nagios test disabled on Atlas stager. Need to reconsider the use of printmigrationtatus as a production monitoring tool due to the DB load it induces (GP to raise a Support ticket)
Plans for next week
GP: Fix-up on Aquilon SRM profiles.
Long-term projects
CASTOR stress test improvement - Script writing, awaiting testing and validation
Headnode migration to Aquilon - Stager configuration almost complete, awaiting testing.
Target: Combined headnodes running on SL7/Aquilon - implement CERN-style 'Macro' headnodes.
Draining of remainder of 12 generation HW - waiting on CMS migration to Echo. No more draining ongoing.
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
RA/BD: Run GFAL unit tests against CASTOR. Get them here: https://gitlab.cern.ch/dmc/gfal2/tree/develop/test/
GP/RA to chase up Fabric team about getting action on RT197296(use fdscspr05 as the preprod stager - replacement for ccse08)
Staffing
RA back next week
