AFS service/operation meeting

AFS ops meeting 2015-03-02

present: Dan, Massimo, Kuba, Jan

• BOINC: afs289 was getting stuck (killed) again repeatedly, now disabled the coredump-gathering/killing(to see whether the server really gets still stuck.
• Backup:
  • 500TB of leftover TSM backup auto-deleted (last-full-copy protection removed - except for a whitelist hardcoed in the script), 250 TB to go, expect three more weeks. Will still have to decide what to do with the deleted volumes not found in CASTOR (copying over is painful)
  • failed CASTOR backups (0-size): error is something like "stager_put: Unable to receive header" - timeout? Probably not relate to missing credentials (other jobs run OK afterwards, without getting fresh creds).
  • afscron1: checking cron job should run at 09:15 not 15:09
• afs232/afs233: updated RAID firmware, should fix the controller reset
• setserverprefs script is in production, but should be deployed via RPM. will review other "afs_tools" as well (k5reauth and afs_admin are just wrappers, real script is in AFS. Fixed for k5reauth, afs_admin is a mess to split)
• trademark: mail to openafs-info, received private mail from Jeff. In short, resources/money are real issues, trademark forces them to keep old compat code but does not prevent going ahead.
