Introduction

  • LCG 2.7 upgrade already underway. Details of current roll out is here. Please complete the appropriate columns with the status details for each product. Monbox is now up and running so new applications can use it.
  • LFC Migration is awaiting Atlas RLS migration
  • FTS already upgraded to Glite 1.4.1.
  • CastorGrid gridmap file to be upgraded for LCG 2.7. Action:Maarten and Miguel to review the changes.
  • BDIIs upgraded. Site BDII was not automatic and required manual change. Action:Maarten to request YAIM change to make this automatically configurable.
  • RB to be upgraded by GD. Action:Harry to prepare plan for RB migration to FIO responsibility.

Deployment Status Report

  • Some architectural changes as part of gLite 3.0 ongoing.
  • Code freeze is now in place. Release due 28/02 going into pre-production 01/03 and certification 15/03. Completion of certification on 30/04.

Data Management Status Report

  • Good discussions at CHEP workshop on SRM and data handling.
  • Background transfers for SC4 preparation due to start on April 13th.
  • Alice will be running some tests storing MC data back to CERN.
  • SC3 configuration has now been umounted in preparation for SC4/Production setup

Workload Management Status Report

  • CEs need production manager accounts for each VO concerned. Action:Maarten to send e-mail to VO responsible administrators.

Information Systems Status Report

  • SFT Summaristation metric display for end March. RB first and others will follow soon afterwards. This will provide the LCG MoU reporting numbers

Auth. Systems Status Report

  • Some progress on critical items but resource issues remain with the development team.
  • Stress testing performed to check on the load on VOMS server and database. The VOMS code does not use BIND variables and this caused higher loads on the database server. Developers feel that this is a result of the MySQL compatibility requirement. Effort to fix before the freeze is too substantial. Action: Jamie to prepare a problem statement and circulate to those concerned for review.

AOB

  • Dashboard has some applications in red in the operations column. This is mainly due to the lack of an operations/administration guide for SFT, RB and VOMS. These missing guides are pre-requisites for handover to FIO.
