Operations highlights

• 04/20/2024: we were still seeing the CVMFs problems from the week before. We decide to redeploy the CVMFs daemonset in the cluster, bringing the efficiency to normal levels, although still somewhat turbulent. 
• 04/27/2024: We redeployed the CVMFs daemonset again, using the new CVMFs release image made available on the CERN registry (on 04/22/2024), improving the cluster efficiency even further.
• 04/30/2024: we restarted our dCache headnode, aiming to fully apply the new token configuration. We are passing now in both the old and new token configurations, for webdav and xrootd.

Development

• Working on Prometheus token-less access for OSG.
  
  

Deployment

• 04/22/2024: 7 new storage servers deployed. NET2 total storage avaialble: 11.4PB (useful)
• Our dCache cluster is based on Alma9 since 08/27/2023.
• The image used by the pilots is Alma9 based for all Kubernetes sites since 02/19/2024 (NET2 was using it intermittently, helping to prepare that image since November 2023)
• FY24 compute machines have been racked. Network configuration is ongoing.
