Notes from gridpp storage meeting 31/1/18 by Brian Davies

KeyDoc review:
MattD still beleives pages sghhould still be useful.The DPM testing page is out ofdate, perhasp needs re-factoring/ streamlining. Perhaps should just be a page of pointers to relevanent cern site pages. Problem with wiki is no incentive for peopl eto correct.

Some sites goin gthrough upgrading DPM head node to CC7.
OXford done well. found xrootd client is needed to come form EPEL not UMD. had httpd webdav issues but now solved. 
Suggestion that Kashif migh tlike to make a blos post for his upgrade experience.
Liverpool and Lancaster still have this to do ( other sites not in meeting may also need to.)
JohnB @ Liverpool had issues with ipv6 auto starting ( Liv is not ipv6 enabled yet.)

Small VO monitoring on CERN FTS grafana has gone.
Brian Looking to see if possible to trawl log files.

FOr T1 , ALTAS had deletion woes due to DB load due to bulk deletion. COuld this be an issue fo rT2s in th efuture?

the StoRM pages wil be usefull when every body realises their mistake and move to Lustre.

I thought it was the default not to use UMD for DPM (including xrootd)?
