Operations Report 09/11/2009

Summary of Previous Week

• Meeting at Cosener's house
  • Architecture Review
  • Procedures Review (backup, disaster recovery, etc)
  • Resilience Plans
  • Integrity Check

Developments

• Castor: New repack 2.1.7
• Castor: Tested Oracle Patch on Certdb
• Castor: Implemented backup policy (two weeks on disk, 3 months on tape, 6 months full backup)
• 3D: ATLAS, frontier schema has been set up

Plans for Week(s) Ahead

• Continued investigation in to new architecture
• Start testing a script to mitigate against database connecting to “old” ASM mirror (when hardware is in place)
• Continued work on backup/recovery procedures (and documentation)
• Updating disaster procedures

Downtimes and At Risk

Description	Start	End	Affected VO(s)
Oracle security patch on Castor DBs	10/11/09 09:00	10/11/09 17:00	All
Oracle security patch on 3D databases	11/11/09 9:00 am	11/11/09 13:00	ATLAS, LHCb
investigate hardware problems	10/11/09 9:00am	10/11/09 12:pm	LFC ATLAS, LFC non VOs, FTS
