ATLAS SCCS Planning 12Dec2007 ----------------------------- 9am, SCCS Conf Rm A, to call in +1 510 665 5437, press 1, 3935# Present: Wei, Stephen, Richard, Randy, Chuck, JohnB, JohnW, Len Agenda: 1. DQ2 Status/Web Proxy Production is running well. Using 300 CPUs most of the time. Have enough data to run jobs. Have FUSE running on a few xrootd machines. Also have a Berkeley version of SRM (BeStMan), transferred data from SLAC to UTA using FTS. This is called BeStManXroot but it doesn't use any features of xrootd so it can be without it. For the dq2_put problem, it might be better to use noric09 which has XrootdFS running. Do we know if the fairshare works correctly for ATLAS? We believe so. There are users using some of it so it doesn't all go to production. 2. Tier-2 Hardware Asked to replicate 12/13 release AOD. Would need about 40TB, don't have enough space for this. Spending ATLAS money on disk would get us about 200TB. We pushed ahead with the CPU spending as it was desired. Can now get the 1TB disks so that will make disk pricing more attractive. Currently in negotiation about storage price. BaBar can probably wait till April for the next big purchase. Alexei suggested getting AOD since 1st September. Not sure how useful a definition that is but can meanwhile do that and determine if there are requests for other data. Currently importing 1 or 2TB of RDO data for trigger work. Order for CPUs went out about a week ago. Expect delivery before Christmas but installation after the break. Will probably move some machines from water cooled racks to Sun Black Box. The full set of machines should be available early February. Existing ATLAS machines will move to the second Black Box (it'll be half BaBar, quarter ATLAS - all current installation - and quarter GLAST). 3. tcsh with larger environment space Taylor needs to copy it across to the machines. It'll go to /usr/etc/tcsh and put that /etc/shells. Then users should ask for their shell to be changed. Will need to be changed on Solaris too to ensure you can have the same shell everywhere. 4. Tier2/3 Workshop Not much to say, it appears on the ATLAS e-News today. 5. AOB - Space for atl-prod02 mirror Reply from Wei's ticket saying there wasn't a 72GB one. Will have another, perhaps larger one. Action Items: ------------- 071114 Stephen Attempt to use tcsh 6.14 to see if that solves env problem 071212 Done. Will deploy.
