Operations Issues

  • More incompletely transferred LHCb files are getting the wrong checksums.
  • ATLAS have encountered a small number of files that have been given the wrong checksum. This is a known issue https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/index.php?70679 fixed in 2.1.9-8. ATLAS have a workaround until we upgrade to 2.1.9-10.
  • On Gen, a couple of hundred files have been identified as being CANBEMIGR but have successfully been migrated to tape. There is no impact to production.

Blocking issues

  • Lack of production-class hardware running ORACLE 10g needs to be resolved prior to CASTOR for Facilities going into full production. Now being ordered.
