-QUERY STATUS: By the end of August: ​ 
  
-  * understand how to access other kind of datasets (e.g. where/how to store PRESPEC-AGATA dataset from Nuclear Physics) 
-    * **ONGOING** Luis is working on Nuclear Physics data. Waiting for update. 
  
-All the following tasks were due end of November 2013. 
-**Note**: Priority changed. Batch system and grid interface comes before Lunarc new authentication method. 
-Rescheduled by the end of March 2014: 
  
-  ​* 1) understand how to interact with existing grid storage present at Lunarc. Update: Lunarc suggested to benchmark current connection. If not enough, interact with Jens to understand how direct connection can be achieved. Lunarc only has data, no metadata or index. ​To be done once batch system ​is in place+==== DONE (as 9th Sep 2015) ==== 
-  * 4) Start batch/grid jobs tests with users from particle physics and nuclear physics. In this phase we will be able to see how resource management should be done for an optimal use of the cluster. Missing: ATLAS RTEs+  ​* 1) understand how to interact with existing grid storage present at Lunarc. Update: Lunarc suggested to benchmark current connection.

 +    * Outcome: users prefer to interact directly with the data and move it on the cluster storage. Use of FAX is not possible yet both because it's an experimental technology and also because FAX is only installed ​in Tier0 or Tier1. The storage should be one of these

 +    * Outcome: not so succesful due to the cluster not being a tier2 and its connection to grid storage not optimal. Also, disk problems prevented optimal operation.
