Preparations for LHC activities in Q4 2006 / 2007 (ATLAS Computing System Commissioning (CSC), CMS CSA06 and other similar activities)

Draft Agenda

Morning

• Update on site monitoring since SC4 Throughput.

  The goal is to arrive at effective, pro-active site monitoring asap (at bare minimum establish a concrete roadmap with milestones) - the goal being how to run reliable, stable services and not just monitoring per se

  • What is possible with SAM/SFT/etc.
  • What is available with GridView
  • Other monitoring tools (Nagios, Ganglia, SLS, GridICE, RTM, MonaLISA etc.)
  • Site-local monitoring solutions and applicablity to other sites
• Operations reviews of June - August production running (comparisons with upfront metrics)
  • Harry Renshall and Ian Fisk for ATLAS production - also for ALICE and LHCb?
  • N/A for CMS (CSA06 is just starting...) unless we cover pre-CSA06 debugging...
• Experiment reviews of production
  • ATLAS
  • CMS
  • ALICE
  • LHCb

Afternoon

• Detailed experiment plans + requirements for Q4 2006 / Q1 2007 production
  • By experiment, sorted by start date
• Report on 3D services required "now" (e.g. Sep 15 for CMS CSA06, TBD for ATLAS, LHCb...) and their roll-out across the various Tiers.
