dCache 1.8 SRM 2.2 deployment with Flavia and the Tier I's

Participants : Timur, Gene, Flavia, Doris, Maarten, Patrick, Matt

Topics :

• BNL is fine after the default space has been setup.
• Altas wants to specify the space by path only. (not urgent). This feature is actually already available though not described yet.
• All sites are fine for the Atlas test.
• Atlas started FTS tests against NDGF. All failed transfer failed due to CERN problems.
• If somethings fails the dCache return codes are important.
• Timur believes that all return codes will be fixed within days.
• Problem REQUEST_QUEUED and REQUEST_IN_PROGESS. Flavia will reply on Dmitries e-mail discussing the details.
• Starting Monday, Flavia will be able to use the new version of the high level tools in order to find urgent show stoppers.
• More informstion on the high level tools by Maarten :

  The new release of the high-level utilities (GFAL/lcg_util) is expected
  in the coming days.  The tags have just been submitted to the build system.
  More news ASAP.  
  

• Patrick will recreate the test_d1t0 space at DESY. (to test space reclamation)
• Questions on how to upgrade sites while atlas is doing tests. Flavia will coordinate upgrade and Atlas testing.
• Timur would like to postpone the upgrade due to more issues to be fixed. Flavia agreed to postpone this by a couple of weeks.
• New release is expected : Mon Oct 8.
• Workshop in Edinburgh : Greig and Flavia have been setting up an agenda for the Edinburgh workshop and make the password available to us.
• The workshop will cover the Tier I setup as well. So it would be good if at least one dCache expert per Tier I could come to Edinburgh.
• GSSD : from 2 pm to 6pm. Please check agenda at  CERN indico
