• The past two weeks were OK running but there were problems:
    • AGLT2 grid job / dCache issues over last weekend
      • BOINC did fill empty slots.
      • However the grid prod job failure rate was 11%.
    • MWT2 Drained over weekend before last.
      • Issue not understood but unlikely to be a site problem.
    • NET2 high failure rate for prod jobs: 24% over the two weeks.
    • SWT2 OU: XRootD service hangs and 21% prod job failure rate
    • SWT2 CPB: Some XRootD service issues but generally OK
  • Rob discovered in talking to Dell that sites ordering C6525 servers(chassis)  are getting them this month bit sites ordering R6525 servers (1U) are getting them in January.
    • Do we want to change our orders to chassis or ask Dell if we can get better CPUs since we are waiting until January anyway for 1U servers?
    • IU is getting its chassis servers this week and Illinois expects to receive theirs soon.
  • Could UMich, MSU, UC, BU, and OU please email me with what was ordered what the expected dates are to receive the gear.
    • Once I have this info I will organize a planning meeting to discuss the next round of purchases this week or early next week. We must urgently start the process of spending down the rest of the equipment money by January 31...
  • XRootD continued to have issues. From Wei:

    • We still see problem at OU. I finally was able to repeat this issue at SLAC.

    • For a long time, SLAC ran xrootd 5.3.0 from xrootd repo, and we never saw the problem. OU runs xrootd 5.3.1 from OSG 3.5upcoming and saw the problem of accumulating TCP CLOSE_WAIT in short period of time.

    • Since Oct 28, SLAC switched to use the same very OU use and we saw this problem after 9 days. SLAC has since to switched to xrootd 5.3.1 in EPEL to see if we can repeat the problem

  • Please provide updates on IPV6 (NET2, SWT2) and the moves (MWT2, SWT2)
  • We need to retire SRM soon.
