ATLAS SCCS Planning 28Feb2007
-----------------------------
9am, SCCS Conf Rm A, to call in +1 510 665 5437, press 1, 3935#
Present: Chuck, Wei, Booker, Stephen, JohnB
Agenda:
1. DQ2 Status/Web Proxy
Nothing new in last week. Paul needs another week to get PANDA
working with the new DQ2 site. Old one still running as normal.
2. Tier-2 Hardware
Terry now has the order and is processing it. 3 Thumpers and 78
X2200 M2s (8GB and a pair of two 50GB drives) was the final order.
Assuming usual time to get through purchasing it will be three to
four weeks before it starts showing up.
Then it is a week to install hardware and a week for software
install.
Power will not be available till the end of May but hope can find
5A for one of the Thumpers.
3. HPSS/gsiftp/xrootd
Would like to talk to folk like Torre at the Tier-2 meeting about
reading files from xrootd instead of copying to local disk.
Long term solution probably means we still need SRM
interface. Booker did look at SRM but will start looking more
carefully at it. If can get StoRM working it shouldn't be too
hard. It helps to manage the load.
4. AOB
- Tier-2 Workshop at UCSD
Richard, Andy, Randy, Jacek, BobC and Wei are going. Andy and Randy
are there only for a PetaCache discussion. The xrootd and PetaCache
discussions are the only things on the agenda right now. There is a
new person at BNL who has requested specific details for the site
reports.
- Photo
Will be a photo taken at 11:30 in from of building 40 (Central
Lab).
Action Items:
-------------
061108 Richard Discuss with SLAC Security longterm approach to ATLAS VO
061115 No information.
061213 Nothing happened yet.
070103 No information.
070110 Richard & BobC in Denver, Stephen will email them.
070124 Don't know the status.
070131 Don't believe this happened.
070207 Have not done this. Randy has talked to Heather, didn't
have any time to comment today but she is aware about
it. Will treat each VO as an enclave, if you are using
anonymous accounts need to be able to show how ran a job
and when. The main issue is that VOs are not legal
entities and anyone can declare themselves a VO. Would
need to actually test that the required information can
actually be found.
070221 No info.
070228 No info.
