Smooth operations, mostly reprocessing jobs over the course of the last week
- Very demanding re memory (24 GB of RSS per 8-core job), resulting in WNs to swap, observed 100k/s swap in/out at times but jobs completed successfully
- BNL has been top contributor in this campaign
Disk storage
- Still in the process of populating recently acquired disk storage, primarily the secondary SMR based storage systems
- Evaluating next generation RAID systems for FY16 procurement
- Ceph object store now fully redundant re power, eliminates the last single point of failure
Cloud activities
- Preparing central infrastructure for second large scale test on AWS; aiming at using ~100k cores
