pre-GDB Meeting

Europe/Zurich
IT Auditorium (CERN)

Description

A whole afternoon will be used to discuss the implementation of the storage classes as defined in SRM v2.2 in the Tier-1 and Tier-2 centra to be used for upcoming MC productions, reconstruction, and analysis.
Issues not to forget:

  • quota ?
  • cache before a mass storage system ?
  • disk1-tape1 issues:
    • a single space assures D1T1 if written to?
    • or the experiment fw writes file to two different spaces?
    • if it it is the first, can SRMs support this?
  • data type mixing on tapes ?
  • storage class conversion ?
  • WAN and/or LAN file access ?
  • data ownership ?
  • data deletion ?

VRVS will be available from the "OCEAN" Room
