[JohnB, Richard, Len, Wei, Randy, Booker]

1. DQ2
     corrupted AOD data removed. This gave us a few days of trouble free 
production until today.

2. Tier 2 hardware

Storage arrived waiting for memfs machines to free power. Current plan 
is to reinstall memfs machines and then move them to Building 84. So 
Atlas storage schedule depend on the schedule of memfs machines:

a) 10Gb, 1Gb network cables ready from Build 50 to 84
b) JohnY reconnected console lines to all memfs machines
c) Charlie is working on subnet and dhcp for the memfs machines. To be 
done today.
d) Lance is working on kickstart configuration for memfs machines. To be 
done today.
e) Shirley will install OS, probably tomorrow.

Randy or Wei will start a installation request in RT.

Once Atlas storage is powered on, Lance will install solaris 10 x86 and 
ZFS on them. Wei will work on xrootd part.

CPU nodes are also arriving/will arrive soon. Need to decide OS (see below)

3. Xrootd/srm

No info.

AOB

Tier 2 web site: we will go with our own tech base and design. Wei 
e-mailed Chip of TIS to go ahead with the plan.

At today's F&O phone meeting, Wei asked what OS will ATLAS use. So far, 
ATLAS uses SLC3/4 32bit. Working on 64 bit (Boston is using SLC3 32 
bit). There are memory issues running (32bit or 64bit app) on 64 bit OS. 
Need clarification about whether 2GB/core is enough for 64bit OS (with 
memory problem).

We can run SLC/RHEL 4 32bit. But the OS will be slow, and yet we have to 
support another OS.

          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.
