T0-T1-T2 transfer tests

  • A new DDM version (called 0.3) is under test. The first goal is to reach a steady transfer from CERN (T0) to T1s.
  • A new Arda monitoring fro DDM 0.3 is accessible at this address
  • A Twiki page is maintained for the whole transfers
  • DDM 0.2 (MC production transfers) and DDM 0.3 (T0_T1-T2 transfers) run concurently. Both use the same FTS instance in LYON.

T0-LYON tests

General remarks

  • Lyon participated to the T0-T1 test since the beginning (beginning of May).
  • The main problems was Castor stability at CERN
  • Datasets exists during 24 hours. After 24 hours, the datasets are deleted but not the physical files and the LFC entries.
  • Files are kept 8 hours in dcache disk area (cleaning managed by dcache team)

Logbook

  • Transfers started mid-April
  • Status plot with one bin per day (15 May)

LYON-T2 tests

General remarks

  • Only AOD datasets are transfered to T2s. Each dataset include one file of 3.6 GB.
  • A cron script is run from LAPP to request
    • transfer of datasets to each T2/T3 site
    • delete files and LFC entries when the dataset transfer is complete or the dataset disappeared (operated by CERN)
  • Files have to be transfered before the files (in LYON) and the datasets (at CERN) disappear. So from time to time, no datasets fullfill these constraints

Logbook

  • 12 May First tests of LYON->T2. These tests should not affect T0->T2 transfers (dcache load)
  • 15 May: Status plot for (15 May)

    • First comments (15 May):
      • CPPM, LAPP, LAL, SACLAY, LPNHE, LPC : OK
      • NIPNE_02, NIPNE_07 : Seems to have network limitations
      • TOKYO : Many transfers pending with DDM 0.2. Big fight between both DDM versions
      • BEIJING : Problem to get TURL
  • Transfers from LYON to T2s are probably affected by the saturation of the line between Computing Center and the NRD (RENATER node)[link]. All T1->T2 transfers go through this line.
