  1. Task 2.3 Operations Report Pedro Henrique Rausch Bello Leader of Task 2.3 Instituto de Física - UFRJ Second Latin American EELA Workshop Itacuruçá, 24.06.2006

  2. Task 2.3 Status – WS1 • Pilot Testbed Operational (7 sites) • Started implementation of User Support System • UFRJ Roc Site • Running LCG 2.7 • Monitoring tools setup Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  3. EU-LAC Meeting • April 28 – 29, right after WS1 • EELA set up a demonstration in RedCLARA’s stand • Demonstrations were conducted for several people Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  4. Pilot Testbed Status during WS1 Plus: INFN Catania: CE + SE + WNs Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  5. Pilot Testbed Present Status (1) Plus: INFN Catania: CE + SE + WNs UNAM – testing phase done – Being integrated to the production service REUNA – User Interface Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  6. Pilot Testbed Present Status (2) • From the last slide we see the integration of new sites is very slow • WHY? • CEDERJ has peculiar characteristics • CSIC is undergoing a major facility relocation. Integration is expected to begin in two weeks • UDEC has issues with the OS needed by the middleware • UNAM was slow to begin the integration process (two months between first contact and actual start of work) Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  7. Resource Centre Integration Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  8. RC Integration Process (1) • The Procedure for integration of a new RC is simple: • The Site manager contacts the Task 2.3 Leader (Pedro Rausch – rausch@if.ufrj.br) announcing the desire to integrate his resources: • The following information MUST be sent: • Description of Hardware Resources • Network Address (not individual hosts!!) • If the site is willing to run jobs from VOs other than EELA (such as HEP and BIOMED) • T2.3 Leader sends a proposed installation plan – in the case of new sites, or an acceptance notice for inclusion in the case of already running sites Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  9. RC Integration Process (2) • After installation, the site undergoes a testing phase, which lasts for up to two weeks • After test validation the site is considered part of the Pilot Testbed Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  10. User Support System • Fully operational – http://support.eu-eela.org/ • Enlisted support personnel is urged to check it regularly Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  11. Middleware Upgrade Plan • All EELA dedicated RCs are expected to upgrade to gLite 3.0 in the following months • First, UFRJ and CIEMAT will maintain both infrastructures for as long as necessary • Running sites will receive notification when the Testbed is ready for site migration • REUNA (UI) and ULA are already running gLite 3.0 Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  12. LHCb Integration Status • LHCb is able to run production jobs both at CIEMAT and UFRJ • Additional sites can be added without effort Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  13. ALICE Integration Status • ALICE integration depends on the installation of VO-BOXes • Currently INFN-CATANIA is able to run production jobs • EELA-UNAM is in the process of installing a VO-BOX Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  14. Security (1) • WP2 management is setting up the Security Body • Task 2.3 Leader has been nominated Security Officer Pro-Tempore • We are currently searching for the definitive subject Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  15. Security (2) • Site level security is a difficult subject • Trying to define a minimum denominator • We have to profit from the size of the pilot Testbed, and the well known relationship between sites • Some sort of automation is in the works Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  16. Monitoring (1) • Currently running tools: • GridICE • GSTAT • Real Time Monitor • Waiting deployment: • Site Functional Tests Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  17. Monitoring (2) • WP2 needs to set up a distributed monitoring team in order to alleviate some sites and provide a larger time coverage – Grid Operator on Duty • Will begin searching for candidates soon Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  18. EELA Middleware – Description • Consists of all additions to standard middleware + EELA specific applications • Provides a well defined release schedule, facilitating RC planning • Assures that software installed is installed on sites in a homogeneous manner Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  19. EELA Middleware – Planning • Quarterly releases • M7, M10, M13, M16, M19, M22, “M25” • Software candidate for inclusion must be presented to the WP2 and WP3 Managers, and to Task 2.3 Leader on the first month of the previous trimester; • Will be installed immediately on a Pre-production site • After testing, will be included on the next middleware release Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  20. EELA Pre-Production Testbed • A pre-production service will be deployed on selected sites • This service will be used for the testing of applications candidate for inclusion on EELA’s middleware releases Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  21. Operations Meeting • Task 2.3 needs to set up an operations meeting with ALL personnel responsible for the running of EELA Resource Centres • SKYPE will be used as communication media • Small individual meetings every other week • Group meetings as needs dictate Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  22. Mailing Lists • Resource Centre personnel must subscribe to: • allmembers; • wp2; • task2.3; • grid-prod;  Do’t forget this one!!!! Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  23. Task 2.3 Action Review (1) • Task 2.3 Actively participated in the preparation of the EELA Grid Acceptable Use Policy (EELA GAUP) • Input and writing of relevant sections of Deliverable 2.1.1 (Project Execution Plan) – Everyone involved in WP2 MUST read this document!! Soon available at: http://documents.eu-eela.org/ • Input for Deliverable 2.4.1 (Network Requirements Report) • Installation of User Interface in REUNA Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  24. Task 2.3 Action Review (2) • Upgrade to gLite 3.0 in ULA – Lots of work!! (Thanks to Vanessa for her patience and hard work) • Installation of UNAM Resource Centre (Going into production) • First Interactions with CEDERJ, CSIC and UNLP • Security and Monitoring procedures definition • Planning of day-to-day operational procedures (in progress) Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  25. Open Issues in Task 2.3 • Low engagement from partners (with exceptions) • Resource Centre integration is very slow: • No previous knowledge • Depends on a handful of people • More engagement would alleviate things Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  26. Partner Resource Commitment • As stated by Roberto Barbera and Diego Carvalho, we are still a long way from the promised Testbed commitment • A stronger engagement is needed in order to achieve what’s promised in the Technical Annex Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  27. Work plan until WS3 • Integration of resource centres will continue • Security • Deployment of Security Staff • Definition of security procedures • Monitoring • Definition of monitoring team • Deployment of Site Functional Tests • First release of EELA middleware Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006

  28. Work plan from WS3 to M13 • Integration of resource centres will continue • Security • Deployment of security procedures • Monitoring • Refinement of monitoring procedures • EELA middleware releases • Preparation of deliverables D2.3.1 and D2.3.3 Itacuruçá, 2nd LA EELA Workshop, 24.06.2006
