Minutes 27 April 06

• Phone: Eric(Fermilab), Nuala(RAL), Gordon(RAL), Stefan(Oxford), Gancho(ATLAS), Sasha
• @CERN: Dirk(3D), Eva(3D), Saima

• General announcements:
  • CHEP paper sent off
  • Proposal of alternate meetings every week started: today at 17:00, next week will be at 10:00(morning)
  • Luis is preparing some frontier tests - he will present them during one afternoon meeting
• Sites status:
  • Taiwan: 2 nodes RAC installed on Itanium 64, OCFS2. Test RAC being setup on parallel.
  • CNAF(Barbara): LFC replication extended to CNAF. Preparing the connection to the Streams RAC for the throughput phase.
  • RAL(Gordon): problems with the cluster - TAR request. Dirk proposes to contact Jacek and Luca too. Gordon will also check with Barbara the use of RH 4. Setup will need 1 or 2 weeks more.
  • GriDKa: ready for the setup.
  • Dirk will contact all the sites to get the streams setup asap.

• Tests status:
  • Saima (CMS online):
    • Oracle server reinstalled on version 10.2. Some optimization: memory and redo log files. Streams pool size=256M.
    • Dirk will look at the Streams monitor tool.
    • CPU consumption should be computed during the tests.
  • Stefan: iteration order using COOL is deterministic with performance. Tests will be moved to the new cluster. Dirk will alternate tests with Stefan.
  • Gancho (ATLAS):
    • Streams replication destination site changed to the integration RAC.
    • 24 h tests - succesfully replicated
    • CPU consumption: 50% rate: 7G/day using 10 clients
