New SE Tests

There are now some new tests of the UK SEs. These run every hour (for the moment) and attempt to copy a (2.8MB) file to an SE (lcg-cr), check it is there (lcg-lr), read it back (lcg-cp), delete it (lcg-del) and check it is no longer there (lcg-lr). The log files from these operations are available by clicking on the test result. You can see that the results are not 100% correlated with the SAM test results (which is why I did this). See:

Auto RB

On the basis of my RB tests I now define an 'Auto RB' which is one of the 'Good' RBs or failing that one of the 'Fair' ones. This RB is then used for my ATLAS tests. This should avoid having to manually switch RBs every time the RAL ones go down.
