Pile of Dross

Thursday

Set up security helpdesk queue for Tier1a.

Thursday

Examined results of dcache test - 532 files of the correct size.

Wednesday

Mainly spent monitoring a dcache test - 100 jobs each writing 10×1GB files into dcache. 47 jobs stopped early, one pool stopped talking to the HTTP frontend correctly and later stopped, the stoppage may be related to the upgrade to GB ethernet.

Tuesday

Began documenting dcache operations

Monday

Folded documentation fixes back in

Friday - Got CMS disk, rebuilt all 3 dcache systems in slightly closer to production status by following my own instructions, result: 3 boxes installed and ready to go and a whole lot of updates to the docs to be folded in

Password cracker software now working, system probably would benefit from reinstall - partitions are b0rked, firewal turned off, nis broadcasting, need to add jtr rpm to yum repository and package up support scripts into rpm also.

Tuesday - folded installation instructions updates into documents and committed to CVS

Tuesday - grepping once more

Spent today getting to know our installation infrastructure works, but do know have one system up with SL - now just need to get the stuff that should be working on it, working on it.
