Operation news

Plans for next few weeks

Long-term projects

Headnode migration to Aquilon - Trying to configure former vCert headnodes as generic CASTOR headnodes. Almost done but have some problems with SRM

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

RA writing a new accounting system to match WLCG archival requirements

Actions

RA/GP to talk to Chris Brew about alerts for new CMS file classes and tape families

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

Staffing

RA on call
