ATLAS SCCS Planning 3Jan2007
----------------------------

  9am, SCCS Conf Rm A, to call in +1 510 665 5437, press 1, 3935#

Present: Len, Bill, JohnB, Wei, Charlie, Stephen

Agenda:

1. DQ2 Status/Web Proxy

    Running fine. Problems at Brookhaven. They cannot get the data out
    of Tier-2 sites fast enough so they are accumulating a lot of
    backup. Kaushik has to stop the production to allow it to catch
    up. Although the last couple of days look okay without stopping
    production. The bottleneck seems to be with FTS as BNL, don't seem
    to be an issue for SLAC. Seems to be related to empty files which
    are produced everywhere.

    There was a problem with a DBRelease file being transfered after a
    job started that needed it (there was an RT ticket opened against
    SLAC, RT#1383). This shouldn't have happened as the PANDA pilot
    does check this. This caused thirty jobs to fail.

2  Tier-2 Hardware

    Not sure where this is just now. Chuck isn't back till the end of
    next week.

    Last report was that the ATLAS purchase wasn't started yet as we
    need to make more power available which means making the Rackable
    purchase to do that. Need to make sure we don't sequentialise
    everything as lead times can be absorbed.

3. AOB

    Need to look at the DQ2 space to clean up "old junk". There are
    some duplicated files and only one is in the LRC.

    Need to define a policy on how to remove accounts from the GUMS
    server. Should be much simpler than regular accounts.

Action Items:
-------------

061213 Booker	Talk to AndyH (and others) about moving SRM interface 
forward
        070103 Can plug in a gsiftp module for HPSS 6.2, DPM and
 	      dCache. Wei told AndyH but sure if it is useful. We are
 	      running HPSS 5.1 though.

061108 Richard	Discuss with SLAC Security longterm approach to ATLAS VO
        061115 No information.
