Work in progress • Most TF’s actively working already. Some highlights from last meeting’s minutes: • Upgrade to EMI WN (ideas to install in under CVMFS) • PerfSonar deployment on priority sites to test priority links • SHA-2 compliance matrix for middleware in EMI and OSG and setup of a validation infrastructure. Testing already ongoing • Discussion on policies and timing for middleware upgrades • FTS3 deployment co-locate with FTS3 demos. Focus on integration testing • LHCb has decommissioned Oracle streaming, the local LFCs and oracle conditions DBs at T1 sites • Several TF mailing lists created and internal meetings organised TEG workshop, February 2012
Outlook • Operations Coordination is the core WLCG operations and deployment activity • Internal Task Forces will need good level of resources (people) to execute their mandates • Need more experience on how to operate • So far better representation from experiments than sites • Much of the operations activity is site-focused • Assigning core responsibilities and roles has helped to raise the profile and participation, but there are many areas to cover • Critical components need attention • Already ongoing activities naturally prioritized. More painful choices will be needed if effort is missing Maria Girone, GDB, October 2012
