Attending: John B John H Steve Jeremy Matt Chris W Brian Elena Sam David Jens 0. Blog posts and other related things. No blog posts for this quarter - so far Sam sneak preview. Hacking things with identity - 1. SHA2 testing update. Kashif got a SHA2 certificate, but it is not known whether it has been used yet. Need to test StoRM. 2. WebDAV testing update. StoRM - new version on Monday. Files successfully moved with WebDAV. Used DPM script to mount WebDAV. Should be able to make progress with the latest version of StoRM. LHC has been enabled but firewall is not unblocked yet. CASTOR doesn't support WebDAV - but there is a chap working on it. Need to update if there are multiple versions of the files. 3. What news of the FAX? It may still to useful to see how often it redirects? John H has been looking into it because the Cambridge FAX failed over but accessing the file locally. Chris says on the ATLAS FAX list, some Ganga robot may have caused problems. 4. Should we do something for/with the EGI forum in September in Madrid? Some are still open for submissions - core infrastructure is closed. Maybe data infrsatrcture. Jeremy, Mark M, Jens are going. Neasan used to go... Do we have a replacement Neasan? Not yet. 5. Site synchronisation checking Chris has done it a number of times; syncat takes a few hours to run at QMUL but takes time and needs to be repeated. Biomed were sent the tool that ATLAS used. As long as we are using LFCs, it is highly desirable to check the consistentcy. Either there is a location for a syncat dump, or some means of checking via a standard interface - which with the current interfaces will be quite a lot slower, and means that consistency is checked against a changing target (but this is OK if you expect things to be consistent, eg if files are not changing.) ATLAS tool uses DQ2. There was a project to implement a message passing interface but it has gone quiet. ATLAS have their own three levels of (in)consistency. LFC can store file sizes and checksums. Sam will also look into the consistency checking for next week. 6. FTS data for fun and profit Could check the FTS against the LFC? FTS does not register the file in the LFC, so would provide an independent check. Students extracting data from FTS (doing that for information, and for the quarterlies.) There is currently not enough monitoring of FTS: what do people wish were monitored better - call for proposals? Chris submitted an abstract to CHEP on file transfers, including looking at jumbo frames and stuff. 7.
