BNL’s dCache storage and hardware configuration • BNL end point: srm://dct00.usatlas.bnl.gov:8443/srm/managerv2?SFN=//pnfs/usatlas.bnl.gov/data/dteam • Storage class REPLICA-ONLINE (Tape0Disk1) • BNL’s end point hardware specification • CPU speed 3400 MHz • Memory 4149240 KB • This is a server located outside BNL firewall • BNL's firewall not tape storage configured. • Disk space for storage 60GB LCG Storage workshop at CERN. July 2-3 2007. Geneva, Switzerland.
BNL’s dCache1.8 configuration • All dCache 1.8 components are installed on same server • Components installed: • SRM V2.2 door • Dcap door • Gridftp door • GSIdcap door • Gplazma cell • 3 write pool of 20GB each one • PNFS LCG Storage workshop at CERN. July 2-3 2007. Geneva, Switzerland.
BNL’s dCache1.8 configuration (cont.) • Space Manager Configuration • Standar configuration based on dCache’s PoolManager.conf default parameters (1 write link, 1 linkGroup) • VO access control configuration • Group accounts: dteam001, ops001, usatlas5, usatlas4, usatlas3, usatlas2, usatlas1 • VO:ATLAS • Roles: dteamRole=*, /atlas/Role=production /atlas/soft-valid/Role=production LCG Storage workshop at CERN. July 2-3 2007. Geneva, Switzerland.
Deployment problemsdCache 1.8 patch level 1 - Stability LCG Storage workshop at CERN. July 2-3 2007. Geneva, Switzerland.

Deployment problemsdCache 1.8 patch level 1 (cont) • Authentication gPlazma: An entry on the DN of the user is not fully recreated authentication fails; differs from dn stored on kpwd file. Solution Work around: included the USER’s DN without the CN=xxxxx number. LCG Storage workshop at CERN. July 2-3 2007. Geneva, Switzerland.
Second re-deployment dCache 1.8 patch level 1 dCache1.8 and pnfs was re-installed. LCG Storage workshop at CERN. July 2-3 2007. Geneva, Switzerland.
General commentaries • Tuning Try several values for previous parameters until a stable configuration was found. • Learning curve Would be useful to have examples on using different SRM parameters for tuning purpose. LCG Storage workshop at CERN. July 2-3 2007. Geneva, Switzerland.
General commentaries (cont.) Validation Looking forward to install dCache 1.8 patch level 6 and verify if previous strategy can be used to keep passing the tests. LCG Storage workshop at CERN. July 2-3 2007. Geneva, Switzerland.
Future plans • Update dCache 1.8 patch level1 to patch level 6. • Setup a second test point with access to tape resource. LCG Storage workshop at CERN. July 2-3 2007. Geneva, Switzerland.
