RAL Tier1 Operations Report for 28th February 2018
Review of Issues during the week 28th February 2018 to 7th March 2018 |
- The Castor intervention scheduled for last Thursday (1st March) was cancelled owing to staff availability in the poor weather. (It was to apply Oracle patches to the database systems behind Castor). It is being re-scheduled possibly towards the end of March.
- As planned the Echo gateways were dual stacked – so providing IPv6 access – last Tuesday (27th Feb). This change itself went well – however, it revealed problems with transfers to/from Echo via our FTS service. One issue was identified – the load balancers in front of the FTS system were not dual stacked. This was fixed quickly but the problem persists. Some VOs are making use of other FTS servers as a workaround. (LHCb seem to be the only one using our FTS server significantly at the moment).
Current operational status and issues |
- The problems with data flows through the site firewall being restricted is still present. New firewall kit has be purchased and delivered, awaiting deployment.
- After the Echo Gateway Dual Stack upgrade RAL FTS is still broken. Currently CERN FTS is being used as a stop-gap solution.
Resolved Castor Disk Server Issues |
- None.
