Site	CE	GOCDB2 site	Installed Releases	Close SEs	VO_MINOS_VO_GRIDPP_AC_UK_SW_DIR
RAL Tier 1	lcgce02.gridpp.rl.ac.uk	UKI-SOUTHGRID-RALPP	Using SL4 software	dcache.gridpp.rl.ac.uk (default) dcache-tape.gridpp.rl.ac.uk /castor/ads.rl.ac.uk/prod/minos/tape	/stage/sl3-lcg-exp/minossgm but currently using SL4 software

Note:The dcache SE's will be phased out by the end of 2008.

For RAL Tier 1 see also:-

Ganglia - then select source and finally node, or look look link on RHS half way down (Jobs by group) and (Fairshare metrics)
Tier 1/A Overview, Status, Year Statistics (CPU)

To get the current list of CEs:-

  lcg-infosites --vo minos.vo.gridpp.ac.uk ce

and to check installed software:-

  lcg-infosites --vo minos.vo.gridpp.ac.uk tag

Site	SE	Type	Capacity	Notes
RAL Tier 1	/castor/ads.rl.ac.uk/prod/minos/tape	CASTOR disk	8.2TB disk, 15TB tape	Ganglia RAL Tier-1 Farm Disk Accounting Year Disk Accounting Statistics

To get the current list of SEs the command:-

  lcg-infosites --vo minos.vo.gridpp.ac.uk se

would work but for the fact that our CASTOR services does not have an SRM interface so is not visible on the GRID.

Similarly the GRID method to check on capacity:-

  lcg-info --list-se --vo minos.vo.gridpp.ac.uk --attrs AvailableSpace,UsedSpace

does not show CASTOR, instead see the stager_qry and vmgrlisttape commands described in CASTOR section of the Tutorial: Accessing Storage Elements Return to home page
