RCF Status

• Smooth operation over the course of last week

– No reportable incidents of the Mass Storage System (HPSS), the Tape Libraries and the Network

– Data received from PHENIX & STAR Counting Houses was safely migrated to Tape

• Initially observed increasing aggregate data rates from the Counting Houses to RCF

– PHENIX & STAR have accumulated ~495TB of RAW data since the start of Run12 (next slide)

– Data rate has been lower for both experiments in the last few days
