Actions: 8 remaining LFCs to be upgraded to 1.5.4 at 09.30. 15 mins downtime. srm.cern.ch transfers failed with timeouts from 17.00 Tuesday. Being looked at by CASTOR team.

Discussion: 36 remaining disk servers (3 groups of 12 on different switches) for SC4 nearly ready. It was agreed to wait for tomorrow to get all 36 rather than take 12 today. Plan is to perform bulk file population operations over the weekend (JC). JDS reported only IN2P3 had started ramp-up tests and we must start more. Maarten L. will drive this activity.

Log: srmcopy tests are being made to BNL. Data rate should be higher.

Actions: FIO to decide how long a stoppage they want on Wed 29 March. When decided HRR to issue grid broacast news and schedule the downtime at GOCDB.

Discussion: CS will upgrade routers between 8 and 8.30 on 29 March. We may profit from this to take a longer stoppage to perform kernel and castor upgrades. FIO expect to deliver 36 disk servers to SC4 today.
