GDB Issues

• Sites no longer required to run an LCG-CE.• Proposed removing from Availability

calculation in October– Provided ACE worked OK (it did)– But reliable CREAM for SGE not yet rolled out

• MB discussed again in November and decided to wait longer for the anticipated release of CREAM for SGE.– Released in November EMI1 update 11– End of year to change calculation– Is it working?

LCG-CE/CREAM

• Flooding in Thailand• Any feedback from sites on disk availability?

Disk Pledges

• GDB has been suggested as a larger scale tester of the vidyo service.

• Can we do this in January? • Need to make sure people have enough

notice and practice before we go live with a real meeting. – Perhaps have a test session at the end of a

lunch break.

Vidyo?
