ATLAS plan : almost final
- Details in slides
- Tape read test will be using production requests, so will not read back the (fake) data written during DT test.
- FTS throughput setting will be done by DDM experts, default to 3.5GB/s. Sites should explicitly tell DDM if a different number is preferred.

CMS plan : more details to come
- see slide for updates
- In the second half of DT week, will still run data export tests to T1s, using accumulated data from DAQ.
- Sites ask about exact start time of the tests, and expected throughput etc. Please update ggdoc with more details as they become available.
- Test requests will be submitted to sites in a similar way to the real production cases. Approval mechanism for sites to approve tape (write) requests.

LHCb plan :
- Expect some small adjustments to the target rates.
- Performed a test with CERN this week.
- Not yet confirmed P8 will be joining the test, but enough data already accumulated on CERN disk from the CERN test.
- Srm+https will be used.

Monitoring
- LHCb tape read plot to be refilled on the central dashboard (LHCb didn't do tape read test last time)

Sites
- CERN
  - Did a test with LHCb, resources in place to meet the target rates.
  - Gave ATLAS DDM the info of files to be cleaned up from previous tests.
- KIT
  - Having dCache/GPFS performance issue right now, trying to fix before the CMS A-DT test next week. Will keep updated.
- IN2P3
  - Reminder of downtime on March 15th (12h)
- RAL
  - Migrating to the new tape system (Antares), which will be used in the tape challenge for both tape read and tape write tests.
VOs and sites : please keep ggdoc updated with any new updates and more details of the tests (timeline, data volume, etc). Let me know if you would like to have the editor role.
