      • Grand Unification: RAL GU queue now running (in parallel to usual queues).
        •  HC tests ok;

           
      • FTS failures:
        • https://helpdesk.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/Ticket/Display.html?id=250845 
          • Freiburg: Bad server / lost files ; will declare these temp. unavailable
          • Glasgow: Active discussions; likely to be blacklisted, or apply more manual data access control.
          • Other failures at smaller magnitude; will continue to monitor and chase up.

             
      • Preparations for Containers:
        •    /cvmfs/unpacked configured ?
          • https://helpdesk.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/Ticket/Display.html?id=251157
        •   Checked to be ok.

           
      • Wallclock limit now set by ATLAS to max possible time; 
        • Anecdotally suggests ~ 70% -> 90 % for job successes and 87% -> 92% in job wall time success.
        • Has been suggested that directio can be preferable for certain job types; 
          • Although mentioned that Echo might not prefer this mode ?
          • Can job-type specific staging be configured in the site?  

             
      • Stage-in timeouts remain highest failure rate:
        • Comparative tests once SSD WN are in production
