In order to improve its batch service for local and Grid users, development is ongoing at CERN to design a batch monitoring system and set up a test instance. The goal is to enhance the batch service by investigating new scheduler features, fine-tuning the already used ones and decreasing the time spent in problem identification and fault resolution.

The talk will show the benefits of grouping a number of heterogeneous tape libraries into one virtual container of
tape media and drives. The backup and archive applications send their data to this huge container which has all
necessary mechanisms to control and access the tape resources(cartridges, drives, physical libraries).The
implementation is based on an ibm software "Enterprise Removable

We will present the performance achieved during data taking for the 2010 LHC run, including heavy ion run. The operational benefits reaped from the deployed improvement as well as the roadmap for further developments to consolidate the system and lower its deployment cost will be introduced. Our performance assessment for the new generation of Oracle tape drives – T10000C – will also be shown.

Reliable benchmarking of file systems is a complex and time consuming task when one has to test against a production environment to achieve relevant results.
In case of the HEP community, this eventually leads to setting up a particular experiments' software environment, which could be a rather complicated task for a system administrator.
To simplify this task, we developed an application for
