Operations Issues

• high CMS migration queue due to a large number of temporary files (unmerged files + logs) that should not go to tape. We have agreed to split cmsFarm and move 200TB to a new D1T0 service class (cmsTemp) to avoid the problem in the future
• Some gridftp failures noticed on gdss547 (atlasScratchDisk). Restarting xinetd fixed the problem
• voms mapping caused Alice OPS test to run as wrong person - tests failed.
