Hi All,
The next meeting on xrootd development, testing, deployment and monitoring
will be Tuesday, 24 August, 2004 at 10:15 CA, 19:15 Europe and 18:15 UK. The
location at SLAC is SCS conference room B. I'm not at CERN this week so if
you want to call in from there, you will have to find a way to do it. (If it
is impossible to call the US, let me know and I'll see if we can call you.)
The connection info for this meeting is:
phone: +1-510-665-5437
passcode: 4465
The agenda is:
o mailing list/HN (again)
o latest fixes - Alvise, Fabrizio, Andy
o progress on the problem list
o testing asynchronous mode

to be specified there

o cleanup of config files
o making all access to /store readonly
o turning off non-xrootd log rotation for olbd

o import of skims
o rpm structure (libstdc++, config files)
o cleaning up classic Kanga data
o In2p3 - Jean-Yves
o use and status (disk space)
o status of import of kan data (presumably skims at this point)
o confusion about what should be made available at In2p3 (ARTF)
o plans to move to more recent versions (beginning of September)
o xrootd procedures
o restart of servers (deployment of new versions)
o problems with particular data servers
o adding a new server
o ganglia/monitoring of kanNNN servers at SLAC - Yemi
o metrics for staging?
o monitoring of scratch area, etc.
o adding back xrootd metrics (was waiting for restart)
o Updates to presentation
o alarms?
o monitoring of #file descriptors/TCP connections, etc.
o monitoring of xrootd versions and alarms when they fail the "Sesame
Street test" (Should be possible after yesterday's restart)

I have almost certainly forgotten some things, so please feel free to bring
anything important up during the meeting.
