11:00 → 11:01 Ops meeting minutes

• This is a reminder that this is an important task. The minute taker gives access to the discussions for those not present and provides a reference for others to refer back to afterwards.

• The team composition has been changing. If everybody contributes then the task comes around less often.

• Please extract actions from the meeting and add them to our table here: https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/Operations_Team_Action_items#Action_list.

• Recent allocations: See above link. The page should be updated each week by the minute taker (if they don't the task will keep coming to them!).

• Upcoming allocations:

11:01 → 11:20 Experiment problems/issues

Review of weekly issues by experiment/VO

• LHCb

• Echo at RAL is still closed for lhcb. Minor issues are being handled by GGUS tickets.

• CMS
  T1: https://cms-site-readiness.web.cern.ch/cms-site-readiness/SiteReadiness/HTML/SiteReadinessReport.html#T1_UK_RAL
  T2: https://cms-site-readiness.web.cern.ch/cms-site-readiness/SiteReadiness/HTML/SiteReadinessReport.html#T2_UK_London_Brunel

Please see attached notes.

• ATLAS

• ECDF-RFD queue is fixed. Should be decided whether it will be a test queue or should be set online.

• RALPP SL7 queues is setup, tests jobs are running

• BHAM storage transfer to EAS. Jobs are using Manchester storage while old disk is centrally cleaned by ATLAS experts. Once this done will change BHAM storage to EOS.

• Other: Updates should be recorded in https://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_VO_Incubator.

From Raja: For DUNE, we are still trying to get RAL echo fts transfers (non-streamed) working with a site other than fermilab. Presumably data taking for protodune will be starting soon, but not sure exactly when.
