1. CCRC Status
Nick agreed to take minutes for this session and post them to the LHCb CCRC ELOG.
2. Production Status Report
Minutes from the production meeting are available
here.
- RAL / PIC migrations - Action(04)
- Bookkeeping prototype - Action(07)
Elisa reported that the migration is being finished, a suite was developed using Oracle directly due to the AMGA
scaling problem. Unfortunately the migration was put on hold due to running out of disk space but this is now
resolved.
- Monitoring framework - Action(09)
The draft proposal will be used to create a service Grid map.
- Software Area Corruptions - Action(50)
Joel has installed the software necessary for CCRC and is taking care of the SAM suite.
3. Production Operations Issues & 4. DIRAC3 Tasks
See CCRC operations minutes.
4. AOB
Philippe has added a summary to the ELOG of his results from the investigations into DC06 production status and is
starting to perform corrective actions on a best-effort basis. Andrei asked for any and all feedback with regard to the
ProcDB interface. Nick suggested asking Cedric to help out with this. Nick also conveyed it was agreed with Doris to
reconfigure the spaces at GridKa so the meeting this afternoon is cancelled.
There are minutes attached to this event.
