From the EGEE ops meeting
****************************
- No recent ops meeting and it looks like the regular Monday meeting will soon end
- One current topic being discussed is removing support for some gLite 3.1 services.

Stephen B noticed
That would seem to end support for SL4 WNs - I'm surprised if EGEE in
general is ready for that, although it may be OK for us. At a quick
count I get 234 SL4 subclusters vs 311 for SL5 ...
| glite-UI | 15.06.09 (7 updates) | YES
The UI may be hard to control and again I'm surprised if everyone is
ready to lose SL4 - even CERN still has SL4 as the default on lxplus!

Our experience with the glite 3.2 BDII running as a top bdii is that it is not as good as the 3.1 version - it suffers from frequent performance degradation and needs restarted to fix. On restart it takes sometime for the BDII to be able to respond to queries correctly as it has to regather the information from all the site bdiis.
And from John Gordon in the last hour:
"The proposal is to stop support, not to ban them, at least until a
security exposure comes along.
Since 3.2/SL5 32 bit is not supported, this is the biggest issue. Does
it hit any UK sites?"
WLCG update
*****************
- If you are interested in WLCG T1 performance and issues then read Jamie's slides here: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=81986.
The next GDB is on 12th May: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=72055.
Any comments on/suggestions for the agenda?
UK NGI
*********
- At the moment work "on the ground" has not changed. NGS has developed a transition plan to an NGI and this includes deploying more gLite components.
GridPP will develop a similar plan in the coming weeks. In the meantime there
are a series of NGS surgery meetings where more technical exchange will take place. The next is tomorrow on the CREAM CE (with Kashif and Dug presenting).

50491 - on hold. CMS transfers IC-RHUL. Probably jumbo frames issue. Opened in July 09*************.
53834 - on hold. ECDF old CE. Waiting on second (new) CE?*******
54923 - R-GMA. Incorrect access assigned. Is someone at the T1 aware?
Unsolved:
? - LHCb Glasgow transfers
56128 - LHCb - Sheffield. Transfer related. Same as Glasgow's problem?
56154 - LHCb - Brunel. Again transfer related.
