Detailed Agenda

1.1 - Update on status of the EMI 1.0 release
C. Aiftimiei (EMI release manager) will update the operations community about the current status of the EMI 1.0 release (slides)
1.2 - Transition from lcg-CE to CREAM-CE
Mail from Gergely Sipos March 1 (snippet):
LCG-CE hosts are gradually being replaced by CREAM-CEs within EGI the gLite developer consortium has decided to focus its effort on the CREAM-CE and terminate support for the LCG-CE software. The exact schedule is still under discussion, but the LCG-CE software will likely reach its end of support during the summer of 2011.
In order to help EGI user communities prepare to work with CREAM-CEs, the Operations and User Support teams of EGI.eu have prepared an information page about the CREAM-CE software and about the transfer of applications from LCG-CE to CREAM-CE:

1.3 - gLite 3.1 CREAM reached end of life and DPM
Mail from Tiziana March 1 for the CREAM in glite 3.1
For DPM in glite 3.1, the following NGI's showed interest: Italy, UK, Greece, Geórgia. In order for us to make any request to the developers to produce new rpm with the dependencies in voms-api version that have the mem leak fixed, we need to have early adopter sites for the test. Currently there is only one EA from the UK.

Mail from Tiziana March 3

3 - Operational Issues (all)
3.1 Jobs work directory and temportary directory
We would like to discuss and finalize a long-standing issue which affects the LRMS administrators, concerning the management of the job work directory and the usage of temporary directories. A proposal is presented for discussion.
3.2 NGI wide WMS and top-level BDII used by Nagios
I would like to discuss setup of NGI Nagios services in terms of WMS/BDII used. Is there a recommended way what WMS should be used for good performance and reliability of nagios tests? Is it a good practice to set up a dedicated WMS for nagios tests with BDII limited to NGI resources? My concern comes from the fact that our CEs are sometimes marked as having problem because of non-responsive BDII/WMS. See ticket https://gus.fzk.de/dmsu/dmsu_ticket.php?ticket=67631 (-- Tomas Kouba (NGI_CZ))
3.3 EGI broadcast: issue of to many notifications
Actively followed in RT ticket:
