Description
Antares is the tape archive service at RAL that manages both Tier-1 and local Facilities data. In this talk, we present the main operational changes and developments in the service since last year’s CTA workshop. Among others, these include the migration of the service from SL7, the CTA Frontend separation and the deployment of the new EOS nodes connected to the LHC-OPN network in our Tier-1 EOS cluster. In conjunction with the Facilities migration to TS1170 tape media, we present some work done on data reorganization with the aim to achieve higher recall efficiency. Finally, we discuss various ongoing operational problems and conclude with the development plans for the immediate future.
