AFS service/operation meeting

AFS operations meeting 2017-07-10

("virtual" meeting :-))

Issues:

• have retired the 2 smallest servers (on critical power), afs232+afs233 (replaced by 4 VMs)
  • renamed to lxbWHATEVER
  • can re-use the machines, otherwise they go back to procurement
• have pushed actuator in production for "vos pileup" (=BOINCed fileservers), that implements the -STOP/-CONT workaround
  • after we again had a heap (3..4) of these last week
  • will send mail, might have to cross-check and open ITSSB
  • tends to be kicked off by ABS (18:30)
• AIM: blocked creation of new UNIXy "computing groups". Can still do manually, but it looks like people misunderstand what these are for (hint: they don't get magical free storage space).
• FS probe runs on fileservers again (and latencies are down), but from standalone cronjob. Much dumber than "monitor", but one less "monitor" dependency.
• ongoing: "qa" machine send SELinux-SPAM to SNOW. ignoring for now, probably need to tweak policy..
• will look at recent openafs-1.6.21
