      Recent migrations 10m

      COMPASS

      • #309 Migrate COMPASS from CASTOR to CTA
      • Migration complete, in production as of 21/6/2021
      • Strange issue with the DB during the migration, see #996 Investigation of NULL block ID column during COMPASS migration

      LHCb

      • #306 DAQ integration and testing, including FTS Archive Monitoring (DAQ hardware expected in September). Christophe says (15/6/2021):

        the "check on tape" feature is not in the release of fts3-rest currently on pypi (3.9.4). I am checking with Mihai if there is a reason for not having 3.10 released. I will try to update the version on the machine and hotfix the code, but as you rightly said, production is more important, so if I encounter any issue, I'll just revert, and we will run without this check.

      Upcoming migrations 10m

      w/c 21/6/2021: CLIC/ILC

      • #310 CLIC/ILC tests on EOSCTAPUBLIC PPS
      • #392 Migrate CLIC/ILC from CASTOR to CTA

      w/c 28/6/2021 AMS

      • #82 AMS tests on EOSCTAPUBLIC PPS
      • #305 Migrate AMS data from CASTOR to CTA

      w/c 5/7/2021 n_TOF

      • #143 nTOF tests on EOSCTAPUBLIC PPS , #161 Spinners space on EOSCTA PPS

      CTA PUBLIC Migration from CASTOR 10m

      Backup

      • #307 Migrate CASTOR Backup use cases to CTA
      • /afsmigration #282.
      • Archive use case is being separated (see below).

      User Data

      • #390 Migration of CASTOR user accounts to CTA
      • New do_not_migrate fileclass for data which should probably be deleted
      • Separation of Service Accounts, Secondary Accounts and Primary Accounts
      • Migration of active users could be to CERNBox rather than CTA, we could start a campaign in the autumn

      Other Use Cases

      • NA48 - #341 - repack underway
      • r_public_misc: covers most of the rest of the small experiment use cases. Needs repacking to separate from r_public_user.
      • LEP tapepools: need to check repacked files, can possibly be migrated.
    • 14:30 → 14:40
      CTA PUBLIC New Use Cases 10m
      • Vlado discussed use cases with EOS team. The EOS archive tool seems to match the needs of these experiments.
      • EOS archive files are being repacked and separated from the backup tapepool, prior to migration to CTA.
      • #271 Spacal.
      • #274 FASER experiment on CTA
      • AWAKE RQF1735636 - Archive 13 TB of AWAKE Run-1 data in /eos/experiment/awake Script to make FTS .json file.

      • RQF1747988 CERN Digital Memory, #267

      • RQF1790785 TOTEM files to copy from EOS. Everything ready from our side. We could help them by giving them the script to make the .json file.
