Uom Roles, Responsibilities and TasksVassilis Stefanidis EGEE - UoM kick-off Meeting, Jun, 2004 Source of slices + material: EC, EGEE, CERN, GRNET EGEE is a project funded by the European Union
Objectives of this session • Understand overall aim of EGEE activities • Present UoM roles, responsibilities and tasks / activity • UoM team Presentation Athens, 27-28th May - 2
SA1 overall objective • Create, operate, support and manage a production quality infrastructure SEE - GRID Athens, 27-28th May - 3
Xanthi Thessaloniki Ioannina Larissa Mytilini Athens Chios Samos Patra Syros 622 Mbps PoS Rodos Crete 1 Gbps Gig Ethernet 2.5 Gbps PoS upgradable to 10Gbps Greece: GRID projected topology Isabella – Δημόκριτος 32 Dual Xeon 1 GB RAM 10 TB Storage Area Grid Node Athens, 27-28th May - 4
Sites + responsibilities + Support for key ROC services by specific partners (see SA1 presentation) Athens, 27-28th May - 5
EGEE activities in Greece • SA1: GRID Operations, Support and Management • NA3: User Training and Induction • NA5: Policy and International Cooperation Athens, 27-28th May - 6
Our collective aim • SA1: build expertise and operational procedures that will allow Greece to: • Integrate into European production-level infrastructure • Operate a self-standing coherent Grid infrastructure • Create teams of core experts for the future • NA3: train and inform users, operators, etc. • NA5: contribute to whitepapers, standards etc on the international stage • If we do this, EGEE-2 will follow! Athens, 27-28th May - 7
SA1 objectives in Greece: detail • Pre-production infrastructure: smaller sites with next generation m/w • 8/5 support, crucial as real-life testbeds, for m/w and application testing • Production infrastructure: only stable clusters with significant resources can be admitted to the EGEE production infrastructure • 24/7 operation, supported by RC, ROC and CICs • Run a Regional Operations Centre • One in each federation • Provide front-line support to users and resource centers • Support new resource centers joining EGEE in the regions • Support deployment and operations in the resource centers • Key specific ROC services: security, helpdesk/TT, portal, monitoring, m/w certification, installation procedures, core Grid services, etc. Athens, 27-28th May - 8
NA3 objectives: overall and GR • Train the GRID community and wider user community • Establish a training center in each region • 5 regions Athens, 27-28th May - 9
NA5 • General GRID and specific technical whitepapers • Aegean & AUEB2 Athens, 27-28th May - 10
Pre-production service • Smaller sites • New generation m/w (EGGE-1 or LCG-2) comming soon (15 Jun 2004 ??) • Crucial for testing and experimentation • Activities similar to those for production service Athens, 27-28th May - 11
SA1 objectives: detail • Core infrastructure services: • Operate essential grid services • Grid monitoring and control: • Proactively monitor the operational state and performance, • Initiate corrective action • Middleware deployment and resource induction: • Validate and deploy middleware releases • Set up operational procedures for new resources • Resource provider and user support: • Coordinate the resolution of problems from both Resource Centres and users • Filter and aggregate problems, providing or obtaining solutions • Grid management: • Coordinate ROCs and CICs • Manage the relationships with resource providers via service-level agreements. Athens, 27-28th May - 12
Operations centers: hierarchy Athens, 27-28th May - 13
VDT EDG . . . LCG-1 LCG-2 EGEE-1 EGEE-2 AliEn LCG . . . Globus 2 based Web services based EGEE M/W: lifecycles • From 1st April 2004 Production grid service based on the LCG infrastructure running LCG-2 grid m/w • In parallel develop a “next generation” grid facility Produce a new set of grid services according to evolving standards (web services) Run a pre-production service providing early access for evaluation purposes Will replace LCG-2 on production facility in 2005 Athens, 27-28th May - 14
Evolution of RCs Athens, 27-28th May - 15
Specific responsibilities • UoA+IASA+GRNET-HQ: m/w certification; release documentation, etc. Certification testbed by IASA/UoA. • UoA+Demokritos: Guidelines for configuration and automatic installation tools. Run local installation testbed to verify installation procedures. • CTI: helpdesk, knowledge database, coordination of the support procedures. • UoC: EGEE-SEE website/portal. • IASA, UoA, Auth, ICCS: host and co-manage necessary core GRID services, as agreed with GRNET-HQ. • ICS-FORTH: Coordinate the monitoring service (GridIce server + database). • Auth and Aegean: security. Auth operates the CA; Aegean provides support and specific authorisation activities, site security guidelines, RA. • Demokritos: certification/installation + application specific support • Training: all operations people should support! • Specific responsibilities start ASAP Athens, 27-28th May - 16
