ATLAS SCCS Planning July 9, 2008
----------------------------------
9am, SCCS Conf Rm A, to call in +1 510 665 5437, press 1, 3935#
1. Tier-2 Production/Operation
- M6 Reprocessing jobs have been submitted to SLAC Western
Tier-2 and have all failed while trying to retrieve
conditions database (Oracle) over the network due to
SLAC/SCCS Security requirements
- The other 4 US Tier-2 sites processed the jobs o.k., as
they did not impose similar security precautions
- Reprocessing at Tier-2 site is not in original ATLAS Data
Distribution Model...
- Two possible options:
1) Send Proxy over the network to bypass SLAC Security
2) Install local copy of Oracle conditions DB at SLAC
Resources? (hardware/manpower)
- Wei will contact the US ATLAS computing and BNL Tier-1
to find the hardware requirement and the implementation
procedures.
- No other PANDA jobs running in US Grid system
- SLAC Tier-2 will be officially named as Western Tier-2
(WT2).
2. Tier-2 Hardware/infrastructure
- WT2 has 10+5 OSG servers and 10 file servers.
Converting one of them as a local Oracle server is not
optimal. We should look into purchasing a new Sever.
- One of the 7 thumpers still not in operation; waiting
for KIPAC to swap disks out.
3. AOB
- Some general discussion on SLAC/ATLAS White Paper
