    • 14:30 → 14:45
      Status of WLCG Q1 Tx-Ty Transfer Milestones - aka Multi-VO tests 15m
      1. Demonstrate Tier0-Tier1 data export at 65% of full nominal rates per site using experiment-driven transfers

        Mixture of disk / tape endpoints as defined by experiment computing models, i.e. ~30% tape for ATLAS; transfers driven by experiments

        Period of at least one week; daily VO-averages may vary (~normal)

      2. Demonstrate Tier0-Tier1 data export at 50% of full nominal rates (as above) in conjunction with T1-T1 / T1-T2 transfers

        Inter-Tier transfer targets taken from ATLAS DDM tests / CSA06 targets

      3. Demonstrate Tier0-Tier1 data export at 35% of full nominal rates (as above) in conjunction with T1-T1 / T1-T2 transfers and Grid production at Tier1s

        Each file transferred is read at least once by a Grid job

        Some explicit targets for WMS at each Tier1 need to be derived from above

      Analysis of errors
      Multi-VO results from week of March 26th
    • 14:45 → 15:00
      FTS 2.0 pilot service and schedule / actions for move to production 15m
      FtsClientCompatabilityMatrix
    • 15:00 → 15:15
      FTS service monitoring requirements 15m
      From CMS "top 5" issues presented to MB in Prague:
      • transfers and queues monitor
      • backup servers
      • heartbeat and similar ”service-is-up" monitoring

      Can we come to a common requirement / proposal?

    • 15:15 → 15:25
      Up-coming service interventions 10m

      Possible slots prior to start of Dress Rehearsals and Pilot LHC run:

      • Slot in June, e.g. June 11 (following weeks are CMS / ATLAS weeks respectively).
      • Week of CHEP 2007?? (1st week of September)

      Foreseen interventions:

      • Move of CASTOR DBs to better h/w (to be done by VO - service interruption involved).
      • Deployment of new CASTOR LSF plug-in
      • Oracle Critical Patch updates
        • 17 April 2007
        • 17 July 2007
        • ???16 October 2007???
        • 15 January 2008
    • 15:25 → 15:30
