      CTA read support for non-native tape formats (OSM/dCache and Enstore)

        * Pick one cta-admin streaming command as proof of concept.
      • [Joao] btime and other parameters to be filled by EOS: #145

      CTA read support for non-native tape formats (OSM/dCache and Enstore)

      • Almost finished. After Jorge fixes the remaining CleanupRunner stuff, we can remove this topic.

      Tape drive states

      • [Vova]: Project status overview. Testing.

      PostgreSQL scheduler DB

      • [David]: Project status overview.

      REPACKING tape state and queue cleanup

      • [Joao]: Project status overview.

      EOS report logs

      • [Joao]: Project status overview.
      • Changes merged to EOS #8.
      • Testing new EOS version with CTA.

      cta-admin build for CentOS Stream-8, and other CI changes

      • [Jorge]: Project status overview #72

      Encryption key script optimization (cta-get-encryption-key)

      • Issue description #Ops-839. Main tasks:
      • [Joao]: Add the column Key ID to the table TAPE_POOL #137
      • [Richard]: Modify cta-get-encryption-key script to accept the Key ID, instead of using cta-admin #138 - move script to CTA repo?
      • [Vova]: Modify Tape Server code to pass the Key ID to the script #139

      "needs discussion" topics

      Tape drive states

      • Vova has been working on some issues related with the tests. It will still take some time to complete. 

      PostgreSQL scheduler DB

      REPACKING tape state and queue cleanup

      • The disabledTape field in protobuf needs to be reintroduced!

      EOS report logs

      • Joao needs to check with Julien if the new EOS version is working as expected with CTA.

      cta-admin build for CentOS Stream-8, and other CI changes

      • The only remaining task is to update the CentOS Stream-8 RPMs to include the newly built cta-admin tool.

      Encryption key script optimization (cta-get-encryption-key)

      • Richard will finish working on the script.
      • Afterward, we can do more improvements, such as removing the logic that sets up the Key ID and move it into the tape server. This would leave the script with only the task of finding the Key for a KeyID, which is very simple.
      • The script should be moved into the CTA project.

      Update RetrieveJob to support completion report #154

      • Jacek will check with Tigran and update the ticket with the details of what needs to be done.

      MHVTL

      • Joao will check with Vlado to decide the best common tape configuration for CTA tapes in MHVTL.
