Agenda
Maintenance day report and site status
Status of Lustre problems
Status of new experiment software area
Derek: After fixing two local problems that were discovered during the installations by the central cms ops team, the CMS sw area is now ready.
Roland: LHCb sw area is ready.
Status of Phase D
Derek: We had a visit from Bull at PSI. When discussing different storage possibilities they also mentioned that they are using LSI solutions as the one suggested by CSCS in their slides. They seem to be price competitive and we now made a rather good experience with Bull in respect to a problem resolution with a DDN system that we had bought through them. Maybe one could get an offer for the HW from them (but maybe CSCS has an ETH Rahmenvertrag already for this kind of equipment).
Availability / Reliability values for July (79%) and August (47%). Numbers too low to be real, need to check numbers from VOs.
(Derek): Could CSCS give a short overview over the scheduling policies? Are there still the 100 (or so) reserved job slots for each experiment, so that we can guarantee a certain availability?
