Attending: David, Duncan, Elena, Gang, Gareth, Jens, Sam, Ewan, Chris, Matt, Jeremy, Govind, Raul, Adam, Brian Apologies: Wahid 0. Happy New Year! Mostly everything went well over the break, except Wahid reports a problem with xroot redirection at Edinburgh 1. The grand ATLAS renaming arkleseizure? Ongoing, but probably finished at T2s. So what to do with files that have not been renamed - can they be deleted or do we need to notify ATLAS or something? Probably all files not renamed at T2s in PRODDISK can be removed; files in SCRATCHDISK should not be removed. However, Brian joined much too late to be able to clarify this for us. 2. Pricing and purchasing revisit - how are things going with the procurements? I mean, storage stuff, of course. 3. hepsysman next week: behold the agenda. http://hepwww.rl.ac.uk/sysman/Jan2014/main.html Last I checked there was still room for adding stuff. Sadly, I am unable to attend myself. 4. AOB [10:05:40] Ewan Mac Mahon I'm not completely sure we're all talking about the same thing here. [10:11:59] Ewan Mac Mahon It was QMUL, Glasgow and Lancaster leaving it to next (financial) year, IIRC. [10:12:05] Ewan Mac Mahon Though I'm not sure I do. [10:12:06] Jens Jensen http://hepwww.rl.ac.uk/sysman/Jan2014/main.html [10:12:53] Jens Jensen http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=286936 [10:19:16] Ewan Mac Mahon Now? [10:23:44] Ewan Mac Mahon Tom? [10:27:52] Jens Jensen http://indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?contribId=20&sessionId=2&resId=1&materialId=slides&confId=214478 [10:29:37] Duncan Rand I think it's called delagation [10:30:16] Duncan Rand or delegation even [10:32:40] Christopher Walker WebDAV [10:34:00] Christopher Walker Network wise QMUL was sustaining 8Gbit recently [10:36:40] Jens Jensen And we also have visible successes like "finding the Higgs" [10:36:59] Jens Jensen even if the general public doesn't always know that we were involved... [10:37:39] Jeremy Coles The best way to record the difficulties and successes is through the quarterly report. [10:38:30] Brian Davies sorry fo rmy tardiness [10:43:50] Christopher Walker The atlas historical dashboard contains lots of big numbers for the UK. [10:44:16] Christopher Walker Pulling those numbers out would give big numbers. [10:44:39] Ewan Mac Mahon Nuts to fair. [10:45:33] Jens Jensen Experiment numbers are good but they are not the same as benchmarks... [10:45:44] Ewan Mac Mahon But for the DPM sites, we do have some fuse possibilities, don't we. [10:46:28] Ewan Mac Mahon Yes. [10:46:32] Ewan Mac Mahon Get right on that [10:46:34] Ewan Mac Mahon
