It has been a busy fortnight at NET2:
o DELL equipment has arrived at MGHPCC except for 1 switch
o Will borrow a switch and install everything next week, operations soon after.
o Augustine went to Ceph school as I expect this to likely be in our future.
o Large transfers of RAW data from NET2 to the other US T2s seems to be done. This is in preparation for re-reprocessing which may (as I understand it) begin as soon as the weekend.
o We have been having occasional problems with FAX where up to ~1000 files are open on the FAX node, linux load ~ 1000 and errors start to appear in the FAX logs.
o There is a problem with availability testing at Harvard that we have to track down.
o We still need to transition to HTCondor.
o Working with MOC team (Massachusetts Open Cloud) to add NET2 worker nodes from a pool of MOC resources.
o Working with BU networking on a WAN upgrade plan.
o Smooth operations otherwise.
