With few exceptions AGLT2 mostly ran quite smoothly over the holiday break.
A disk shelf at MSU lost 3 disks of a RAID-6 configuration just prior to New Years Day, and we were unable to recover it. There were 16087 files on the pool, 3900 of which had replicas elsewhere at AGLT2. The replicas were graduated to become primary copies. The balance were declared lost. Shawn documented the procedure he followed on our Wiki

The pool itself consisted of 750GB drives that are now in short supply at AGLT2, so we chose to permanently retire this shelf to supplement available spares.
It was expected that the 10 MSU R630 would be in production by New Years, but in the event these are not yet ready. Perhaps by the end of this week they will be installed. Multiple infrastructure changes were required to bring these machines online, involving IT support at MSU as well as AGLT2 moves, and this has all taken longer to effect than was expected.
Some adjustments were made to the WLCG-v37 tab tables, to reflect the actual deployment of the final 2015 Dell R630 WN purchases.
