        Operation:

          - Had one dcache server accidentally powered off and restored.
            Ticket 144087

          - Otherwise no problem.

        Hardware:

         - 3 more dcache nodes in production now, with data migration in progress.
           In total UM has 5 new dcache nodes (Dell R740x2d), all in production now.  We have retired UMFS01/03/04/12/13.  Will need to update the facility tracking at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YjDe4YdApHoB5_HbDnNwrG-ceJP3amNWMb_VzQEaxGI/edit#gid=0
           One more at MSU (MSUFS17) will be in production soon.

         - Added 3 worker nodes (C6420)
           Purchased with UM T3 fund, but shared by T2 and T3.
           CPU model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6242 CPU @ 2.80GHz
           Total 192 more cores.

        Services:

         - Progress on enabling IPV6 everywhere and registering for DNS.  Will allow us to check-off the last red box on the IPv6 tracking spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d2FbmFoXZkBP_cAmJ5q5kWgdsGnWuyFT0ot1n9Gf4ns/edit#gid=0
             - All storage nodes and dcache services had been for a long time.
             - All UM T2 nodes are now also enabled and registered for IPV6.

        • All new servers received and are in the process of being racked, cabled, and configured
        • SRM door crashed November 13. Restarting the SRM dCache domain fixed it.
        • Still seeing issues with the new pilot and timeouts. Much of this appears to be on the ANALY_MWT2_UCORE queue and is due to xcache and VP issues that Ilija is working on.
        • Planning on upgrading our CEs next week to 4.x for the job restart fix
        • Upgraded the atlasconnect login node to CentOS7

        IU

        • New equipment (xcache, compute) scheduled for delivery in the coming week

        UIUC

        • Waiting on purchasing decisions
        • Working on getting atlas jobs running on the secondary queue again

        Operations smooth...

        NESE storage and networking gear on the way (9 PB total, 6 for NET2), likely 9 PB more soon... including 1 node for SLATE.

        Working with tape vendors on possible NESE tape storage tier which would be useable by NET2 as well.

        OU:

        - site running well

        - currently not full, investigating

        - transfer failures yesterday, xrootd and gridftp restart on se1 fixed that; not sure what the problem was
