Daily operation logs
| Date | Actions | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 9 Oct. 2008 | requests cosmic and 1beam reprocessed ESD to NIKHEF-ELPROD_DATADISK | needed by NIKHEF physics group |

Trouble shooting logs
Sept. 2008 - huge transfer backlog from T2s to SARA
Problem fixed by running the FTS admin tool to slim down the FTS job history db table.
Sept. 2008 - SRM request timeout reading data from SARA
A cron job fixing orphan file issue of dCache loads PNFS server so it was stopped. Also observe a broken network switch involving 4 new dCache node. The problematic network switch has been replaced. A broken dCache node is also replaced.
