New Storage and atlas space tokens

We have finally installed all the units. They are ~84TB of usable space. 42TB are dedicated to atlas space tokens, the other 42TB are shared for now but will be moved into atlas space tokens when we see more usage.

We also have finally enabled all the space tokens requested by atlas. They are waiting to be inserted in Tier Of Atlas but below I report what we publish in the BDII.

Replaced NFS servers

The NFS servers have been replaced in Manchester with two more powerful machines and two 1TB raided SATA disks. This should hopefully put a stop to the space problems we have suffered in the past few months both with atlas and lhcb and should also allow us to keep a bit more releases than before.

We also have a nice nagios graphs to monitor the space now as well as cfengine alerts.

Machine room update

After some sweet-talking we managed to get two extra air-con units installed in our old machine room. This room houses our 2005 cluster and our more recent CPU and storage purchased last year. The extra cooling was noticeable and allowed us to switch on a couple of racks which were otherwise offline.


In other news, the new data centre is coming along nicely and will be ready for handover in 3/4 months from now. If you're ever racing past Lancaster on the M6 you'll get a good view of the Borg mothership on the hill, the sleak black cladding is going up now...
