PDAC Meeting 2017-09-07

PDAC hardware status

• QServ czar upgrade, see IHS-378 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Last week this was still stuck in NCSA procurement. Current status?

• Donald Petravick signed off on this yesterday. It has been through PMO already & Wil signed off.  Next step is for NCSA to issue the PO. Unknown User (pdomagala) actively tracking this.
• Gregory Dubois-Felsmann, Fritz Mueller: Note that the schedule contingency for the loading of the WISE and NEOWISE single-epoch photometry (LSST "Source"-like data) during this cycle has now largely been consumed (the czar upgrade request has been pending since June). This is a high-level milestone visible to our funding agencies.

Unknown User (pdomagala), Unknown User (cclausen)

Last week Unknown User (pdomagala) discussed this with Unknown User (awithers), resulted in delegating this to Unknown User (cclausen). Awaiting a status update on the ticket.

• Unknown User (cclausen) requested a network configuration change at NCSA on 01 Sep 2017 to enable access from a scanning appliance. No news on that request yet.
• He will try to do some other analysis work on this while waiting.

• Unknown User (pdomagala) suggested we use the infrastructure focused meeting every other week as this forum.
• Unknown User (pdomagala) will ask Unknown User (mcarras2) to come to the infrastructure meetings to help address this.
• Gregory Dubois-Felsmann: In July we discussed, and the relevant Aspect group leaders welcomed, taking an outage of PDAC later this year to switch to a Kubernetes deployment. If this could be done in collaboration with Unknown User (mcarras2)'s work, that would be great.
• Fritz Mueller: Because of other planned work on containerization and management, the best time for this would be after October.
