● Outstanding tickets

GGUS #142774  Matt reported that Lancaster have a sick disk server. It is being drained, but this is a slow process. The data is safe and access is OK as long as there is not too much load.


● Birmingham/Cambridge XCache

John: XCache sites received a request from Ilija Vukotic (ATLAS) to set up monitoring. Cambridge and one other site have done it so far. John forwarded the email thread to atlas-support-cloud-UK@cern.ch.


● Diskless sites

All Cambridge and Sussex disks (apart from UKI-SOUTHGRID-CAM-HEP-XCACHE, which we keep) have finished draining and have now been removed from Rucio. As far as ATLAS is concerned, those disks can be decommissioned.

John noted that there were a few files left on the Cambridge SCRATCHDISK. These can be removed.


● Centos 7 migration

RHUL: CE queues set up but not yet working. No PanDA queues yet. Elena will ask Alessandra.
Sussex: Now storageless, so can move forward with CentOS7 migration. Patrick said that Sussex are likely to overrun the deadline by a bit.
Glasgow: Sam reported that Gareth and Alessandra have talked. CentOS7 queues are setup, but still need resources.
Elena confirmed that all other sites are OK.


● Singularity

Edinburgh, Durham, and Sussex need to install Singularity. Can install locally or use CVMFS. Durham and Sussex will probably use CVMFS.
