ATLAS SCCS Planning 08Nov2006
-----------------------------
9:15am, SCCS Conf Rm A, to call in +1 510 665 5437, press 1, 3935#
Present: Charlie, Chuck, Randy, Richard, Wei, Bill, JohnB, Booker,
Steffen, Stephen
Agenda:
1. DQ2 Status/Web Proxy
Wei sent out an email to tell everyone that there will be a change
in the user that DQ2 runs under on Friday. Will probably be offline
then. Will change the owner of the current installation and move
the cron jobs (including the clean up). Also move the web proxy to
the new user.
Would have thought we should see more jobs given that the big
production has been started last Thursday/Friday. Doesn't seem to
be the case. Still a high failure rate, thought to be due release.
2. Grid Account Precreation
Sent an email to BobC about what the plans are. There are some
issues but there is no reply yet. Also noticed that all these
accounts are getting mail accounts created for them, some
discussion if this is actually needed, will do it anyway.
3. GridFTP with xrootd
Hope can say something soon. Emailed developer with some
questions.
4. AOB
- Meeting about Tier2 funding
Discussed changing the funding from what the guidelines said from
1/3 CPU & 2/3 Disk to 2/3 CPU & 1/3 Disk. Will take this issue to
the advisor board.
- Batch nodes
Would hope others at SLAC could use same config. Not obvious as
most people don't need 0.5 to 1TB.
