Data Management • In the previous example • All files are transferred via the SandBox • SandBox is limited to 100Mb • Clearly something additional is required to transfer bigger datasets Data Management tools: lcg utils, gfal Running the LT2
Catalogue services • A “file” is identified by a GUID • Several Alias (LFN) can be attached to the GUID • One “file” can be located a several places (PFN) Running the LT2

Sending your job where your files are • In your JDL • InputData = {"lfn:/grid/dteam/lt2wk.dta"}; • DataAccessProtocol ={"file", "srm", "gridftp"}; • Then you have to use the lcg- commandsto copy the files • Alternatively you can link to the gfal libraryand stream the data (man gfal). Running the LT2
Conclusions • In London you have • Around 2500 cpu • 94 TB • All availaible trough the ltwo vo • To get more on how to use • http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/deployment/users/ • Get registered to the ltwo vo. • See the GANGA talk for more high leveltools to submit jobs without having to writejdl.

RLS remember file location Running the LT2
VOMS: Virtual Organization Membership Service. • Provides information on the user's relationship with her Virtual Organization: her groups, roles and capabilities. • Provides the list of users for a given VO Running the LT2
GridLoad https://gfe03.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk:4175/cgi-bin/load • Tool to monitor the sites: • -Updates every 5minutes • -Uses the RTM data and stores it in rrd files • Shows theNumber of Jobs in any state • VO view. Stacks the Jobs by VO • CE view. Stacks the Jobs by CE • Still a prototype. Will add • View by GOC and ROC. • Error checking. • Add usage (running cpu/total cpu). • Improve look and feel • Could interface with NAGIOS for raising alarms (high abort rate) Running the LT2
GridLoad What can it be used for ? #Aborted Jobs Problem solved Home dir full • Can be used to have a unique measureof the health of the system • We can then use nagios to find out more • Avoid the to many alarms syndrome ! • You can query the cgi to get graphs for your site Running the LT2
Extracting the private and public keys. • You have to create a .globus directory and extract the keys into it. • Extract your public key: • openssl pkcs12 -in cert.p12 -clcerts -nokeys -out usercert.pem • Chmod 644 usercert.pem • Extract your private key: • openssl pkcs12 -in cert.p12 -nocerts -out userkey.pem • Protected it: chmod 200 userkey.pem Running the LT2
Initialize your Proxy • The Proxy is a temporary key pair that is signed by your private key. It allows to delegate your credidential to another machine where your job will run. • To create a proxy (which will be a file in the /tmp directory) you need to • Voms-proxy-init –-voms ltwo • Type the password to decrypt your public key • You should see this: Your identity: /C=UK/O=eScience/OU=Imperial/L=Physics/CN=olivier van der aa (vo1) Enter GRID pass phrase: Creating temporary proxy ...............................................

Preparing for submitting jobs • A simple job program is made available in the /tmp/Lecture.tar.gz • Copy it to your home dir and untar it. • To submit a job you need to create a file that contains your requirements this is the so called jdl file (job description language) • We will submit jobs as members of the London Tier 2 VO (LTWO) so we need to specify to run on sites that support it. • For the moment the site that support it is the Imperial College HEP site. Running the LT2
Submit the job • edg-job-submit --config-vo gridpp_wl_vo_ltwo.conf --config gridpp_wl_cmd_var.conf hello.jdl • Or runjob.sh hello.jdl • The configuration files (gridpp_...) are there to specify to use the imperial Ressource Broker since it is the only one that knows about the ltwo vo. ********************************************************************************************* JOB SUBMIT OUTCOME The job has been successfully submitted to the Network Server. Use edg-job-status command to check job current status. Your job identifier (edg_jobId) is: - https://gfe01.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk:9000/kvexAiToJyvcBvxdMBTdoA ********************************************************************************************* This is your Job ID Running the LT2
Check the status of your job • Edg-job-status [Your job ID] will get the status of your job Running the LT2
Managing large files • To transfer large files your should not use the input and output sandbox. They are limited to 9MB. • File replication should be used. • The LTWO vo does not have a catalog to register the files so I will describe what can be done. Running the LT2
Globus-url-copy • You can copy file to our SE using the globus-url-copy command • Globus-url-copy file:////myfilegsiftp://gw38.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk/stage2/lcg2-data/ltwo/myfilename • But this is not using the catalog to avoid knowing where your file really is. Running the LT2
Hello.jdl and finding matching ressources • In the Lecture directory • See file Hello.jdl Executable = "/bin/hostname"; #Arguments = "none"; StdOutput = "std.out"; StdError = "std.err"; OutputSandbox = {"std.out", "std.err"}; Name of the executable Files you want to retreive Check which ressources match your requirements edg-job-list-match --config-vo gridpp_wl_vo_ltwo.conf --config gridpp_wl_cmd_var.conf hello.jdl Running the LT2
Exercice • Find out what the GridCR program does • Submit 5 jobs. The output of the GridCR program should be stored on the classic SE • Using your job standard output retreive the files that have been generated. Running the LT2
Check the validity of your proxy • voms-proxy-info will tell you how many hours your delegation is valid. subject : /C=UK/O=eScience/OU=Imperial/L=Physics/CN=olivier van der aa (vo1)/CN=proxy issuer : /C=UK/O=eScience/OU=Imperial/L=Physics/CN=olivier van der aa (vo1) identity : /C=UK/O=eScience/OU=Imperial/L=Physics/CN=olivier van der aa (vo1) type : proxy strength : 512 bits path : /tmp/x509up_u37227 timeleft : 11:58:43 Running the LT2
Finding which ce support the ltwo vo • To get a list of CE that support the ltwo vo you use the lcg-infosites command • Lcg-infosites –vo ltwo ce gw39.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk:2119/jobmanager-lcgpbs-ltwo This is the CE of the HEP group. - If you do lcg-infosites –-vo dteam ce you will get a list of CE in LCG. Running the LT2
Lcg-cr,lcg-rep • To register a file in a catalog and copy it to your beloved SE lcg-cr –-vo [yourvo] file://`pwd`/<name> \ -l lfn:<name> -d yourse If you do not give SE the local one will be used. • To replicate the same file in a different CE • lcg-rep -–vo [yourvo] Running the LT2
