Wednesday

• Rate down - not clear why. Accidental temporary removal of PhEDEx pools (affected DESY). Misconfiguration. Understood.
• Problems with Spanish - cert problem. Refreshed CRLs - back now.
• CRL proxy now setup (Thorsten). Recipe given to Vlado. CRLs on all nodes 'soon'.
• CASTOR2 migration - diskservers now in wan pool. Problem now is how to populate them. Chosen on the basis of capability and as they are low compared to IA64 will rarely be selected. Could move to seperate service class temp. and then back. Olof will do this am.

Actions:

• LEMON sensors. Still pending.
• Testing of latest FTS - Paolo.
• LFC smoke tests being checked. Partly a learning process and partly debugging (JDS)...
• Core dumps on gLite URL copy. Mail from gav classifying dumps. Majority inside globus - Ben will investigate - most transfers to Triumf. Maarten can also help... Core filesize set to 1KB - this results on no dump at all... gav will setup cron job to 'archive' core dumps.
• operator levels - no calls on fts production box at night. Need to up level with FIO.
• monitoring talk by member of gridview team.

New actions:

• fts alarms - james -> vlado

AOB:

• problem with oracle backups for castor ns - requires 5 minutes down time. No backup currently being done! can live like this until end July unless we schedule some interventions.
