Operations News

  • The atlasHotDisk pool has been eliminated. The files that were in it have been moved to atlasStripInput and attempts to access atlasHotDisk will be redirected.
  • The draining of old storage hardware is now proceeding overnight without incident.
  • A new version of CASTOR 2.1.14 (2.1.14-12) has been released. This version makes no changes to the DB from the previous one and so can be brought into production with a service restart. The team agreed to proceed with a normal upgrade to 2.1.14-11 and then proceed onwards to 2.1.14-12 at a later date.
