---++ Site status
---+++ CSCS
   * Xxx
   * Accounting numbers (from scheduler) from last month

---+++ PSI
   * Upgraded my 2 HP CentOS7 NFSv4 NAS to [[http://zfsonlinux.org/][ZoL v0.6.5.7]] 
      * 1st is the primary NAS featuring 24 SAS disks 15k 600GB
      * 2ns is the secondary NAS featuring 12 SATA disks 7.2k 3000GB ( cold backup )
      * both owns a dual 10Gb/s card put in LACP bonding mode
      * on the secondary NAS I'm going to make a ZFS fs for dCache and provide ~5TB to the PSI T3 ; it's a shame to use this HW only for backups ( 5y warranty )

      * Still not in ATLAS production, problems related with memory (hints provided by Gianfranco)
