      VO Liaison CMS 1m
      Speaker: Katy Ellis (Science and Technology Facilities Council STFC (GB))

      Not much to report. We had 2 bank holidays for Easter - no major problems observed.

      From last week:

      Open access test - showed that CMS (and other VO) files are available to be recalled from Antares buffer by anyone, even without a cert proxy. Being addressed: https://stfc.atlassian.net/jira/servicedesk/projects/STAH/queues/custom/263/STAH-19

      --No update. 

      Otherwise, plenty of things to be done, but several people on leave/off sick. 

      Need to talk to George about test files being written to Antares and make sure they never go to tape.

      VO Liaison LHCb 1m
      Speaker: Alexander Rogovskiy (Rutherford Appleton Laboratory)
      • Tickets
        • vector read
          • Code review is ongoing, larger scale test is planned
        • Request to remove env variable
          • LHCb jobs also need the variable
          • It seems like its removal do not solve the original problem (warning message)
      • Operational issues
        • A lot of failed WG Production jobs last evening, due to vector read problems
        • Corrupted files were found on ECHO last week, reported to LHCb computing team
      • Pledges
        • Is it OK to extend LHCb disk storage according to pledges?
