News:

• Staging campaign started on Monday
  • Antares and ECHO are doing well

Operational issues:

• Many upload failures from RAL WNs to ECHO GGUS:1003466
  • WN gateways seem overloaded, a lot of slow ops can be seen in the logs
  • Gateways recalculating the checksums from scratch for every file, due to mtime check misconfiguration
    • That's probably the reason behind the overloads
    • Fix has been deployed to the preprod farm
• High failure rate for Simulation jobs
  • It was ~OK last week (MCReconstruction fix working), though some MCSimulation jobs are still affected
    • LHCb people are working on it
• Harica CRL problem (GGUS:1003424) fixed
• Xrootd crashing due to long filenames (GGUS:1003341) fixed 
• Proxy update failed on CERN ETF machine last Thursday
  • As a result ETF tests were failing for all sites for a few hours
  • Not our fault, obviously
