News:

• 2025 data distribution has started

Issues:

• Network outage last Saturday
  • Major network outage caused a lot of transfer/job failures
  • Although (it seems) only external connectivity was lost, ECHO redirectors died as well, causing local upload failures too
    • Is it due to packet marking mechanism?
  • IPv6 connectivity is still missing (GGUS:683377)
    • causes some delays in production output validation, which basically executes stats (which are delayted due to xrootd IPv6 preference).

CVMFS:

• squid0[56] addition
  • These squid servers should be used in production, to do so they should be added to (cma|atlas|cvmfs)-squid aliases
  • Previous attempt to add them caused problems (GGUS:683332)
    • PTR records for reverse zone were added, causing issues
    • The change was reverted
  • Last week the addresses were added again (only to forward zone, as it should be), but only partially
    • only to cvmfs-squid alias
    • only IPv4 addresses
    • only to interlan DNS
  • Waiting for Fabric/DI to proceed on FAB-1101
• RAL as an official EESSI repository mirror
  • Any opinions? Technically seems to be possible.
