SSB Results
- Critical tests for each site in the Site Status dashBoard are available at the links below
SSB PanDA Test Queue Availability (month)
- this metric, measured for the analysis queues, defines the site status for data preplacement as alpha (
T2D and avail > 90%), bravo (T2 and avail > 90%) or charlie (< 90%).

SAM Results
- site service status via Gridview
- Please check your site

1) Tue Feb.21
........................................
+ DE/FZK->CA-SCINET-T2 100% FT f./GRIDFTP_ER.:server err.426.GGUS 79407
verified:One of the BGP policies at Internet2/MANLAN got truncated which
caused them to stop tagging the routes from GEANT correctly.This was
fixed and Toronto is receiving the European routes again through the
VLAN 2001.
2) Wed Feb.22

- CERN/pilot factory troubles,voatlas213-15.Started temporarily another
factory (whuppertal) to cover missing pilots.In contact with CERN
PF.Elog 34000.
