ATLAS SCCS Planning 02Aug2006
-----------------------------
SCCS Conf Rm A, to call in +1 510 665 5437, press 1, 3935#
Present: Chuck, Wei, Steffen, Shirley, Randy, Stephen, Booker
Agenda:
1. DQ2 Status/Web Proxy
These was meeting Monday with the web team and security. No
conclusion reached. Few things to do, allow access only from onsite
to the web server, setup a new unix account to run everything
under and send BobC some information on the developers. Hope to be
able to close this issue in email. Also need to explore the
security of the MySQL database.
Stephen had sent the new account form to CHarlie to sign but forgot
he was away. Chuck said he would deal with it so form been sent on
to Chuck. WIll probably create a new primary group for ATLAS and
this account will be the first "user".
2. Trigger Farm Status
The farm has power to install it SCCS. We will reuse an existing
racks in SCCS. Can also reuse switch parts and fibres from IR2. The
fibres are at least 30 feet long as they go across racks in
IR2. John is aware it will arrive sometime in September.
3. ATLAS Oracle Server
Shirley talked to John this morning. Right afterwards he was going
to talk to his team to see if they had found somewhere to rack it.
4. Slots for ATLAS Production jobs and other batch related stuff
No changes since last week wrt to the failing jobs. It seems they
are still sending jobs that try to access a database at CERN. The
production folk know why they are failing (due to using an old
release that doesn't know about the job transforms). Will determine
what they are going to do about it.
Charlie has asked for an LSF priority group to be created with Zach
Marshall in it.
5. Tier2 Workshop @ Harvard 17-18 August
There are five folk going (Chuck, Randy, Richard, Wei and BobC).
6. AOB
Nothing else.
