Operations News

  • Testing of 2.1.14 ongoing.

Operations Problems

  • Caltech are having problems with writing a file into CASTOR. CASTOR is reporting that the file is already present when there is not evidence of its existence.
  • The xroot daemon that runs on the backup CMS transfermanager node failed on Tuesday, showing a segfault in /var/log/messages. The CMS CASTOR instance was down for around 20 minutes. A look back through the logs suggests that this has happened several times over the last 6 months. Adjustments are to be made to puppet to notify us when it restarts a service.
