AFS operations meeting 2017-06-19

present: Dan,Kuba,Jan

excused: Massimo

Issues:

• 8 new VM AFS servers installed (4 on critical power, 4 on normal). Currently sitting idle to flush out cron issues
  • these machines run CC7 and upstream openafs-1.6.20 (no scheduling patch!)
    • they auto-format their (CEPH) data filesystems - discussion whether this is safe, and/or can be improved.
  • they are not in the 'system:afs' IP ACLs
    • turned off cronjob to save sysid file, not needed
    • turned off /p/sys/update cronjob (moved some things to puppet)
• "afs" puppet client module changes (in "qa"):
  • fix setserverprefs script for tighter "Wigner" range
  • make this run on CC7
  • some more systemd robustification from upstream
• ABS:
  • one work volume not backed up - work.fvanderv - was being moved?
  • General ABS errors on Sunday night (DNS issue)
