        document
      • LHCb LFC upgrade / LHCb RAC upgrade - Monday 26 Feb
      • prod-lfc-atlas-central.cern.ch - status and plans
        The so called "central" lfc is prod-lfc-atlas-central.cern.ch. It is not used by the ATLAS DDM but unfortunately has a legacy role for the users.

        Q: when can we shut it down? 31st April 2007?

      • Distributed DB Services - Schedule
        Upcoming dates are 1st March (the day after next week's meeting - ATLAS conditions at 7 sites) and 1st April (all sites for ATLAS and LHCb conditions, LHCb LFC) - see attached slide for details by VO, by application and by site.

        Downstream capture boxes for ATLAS and LHCb in production (see C5 minutes of 9 Feb)

        Slides
      • CASTOR interventions - update on scope & schedule
      • Other changes in the pipeline
        See agenda for next Monday's LCG ECM.

        We should understand the larger interventions that will be required prior to the commissioning of the WLCG service and start of Dress Rehearsals (1st July).

        We also need to understand possible intervention slots in the longer term, i.e. between DRs and the start of the Pilot LHC run.
