Periodic dCache problems were traced to the dCacheDomain on our dCache admin machine head01. These were due to an excess of direct memory above the 2GB we had allocated. The limit was increased to 4GB and the service has run fine since that time. Current usage is 2.7GB and we are watching the process closely via OMD. There is some concern that it seems to be slowly growing still, and that may indicate a memory leak. It is also true that the number of transfers per unit time is much higher here than it has even been in the past.
All UM APC Symmetra 80k batteries were replaced today. We will be able to get a run-time calibration tomorrow. Prior to the replacement there was less than 1min of run time on the batteries.
AGLT2 will have a full outage starting on June 23 as all power will be off in the UM server room and building. We will likely restart services on Saturday afternoon, June 24. We are hoping the new batteries will allow us to keep a minimal VMWare configuration running, but will not know if this will be the case until just prior to the shutdown.
Today the "deprecate_oldmover" parameter on our main Production queue was set to true. Our test queue has been running this way now for quite some time without issue. This is the only change required to switch a queue, as all related, obsolete parameters are then set to 'OLDMOVERDEPRECATED' automagically. We will slowly switch over all of our queues now to this setting.
