OGF27 – GSM-WG roadmap Jens Jensen OGF27, Banff Based on work discussed at ’26
New Group Chair • After a long stint, ArieShoshani (LBNL) retired from post as chair • And Alex Sim (LBNL) as secretary • TimurPerelmutov (FNAL) new co-chair
Why • How we work… • Implementers show up at OGF • So do the users • But never at the same time • Discussions need lots of time
High Level Summary Some areas still need docs: • Optional parts of protocol • Underlying storage differences • Within the spec • E.g. extra placement data, or spaces • HTTPS roadmap
Users • WLCG • SNIA – Cloud • “StoRM in front of S3”
Issues • Are users using SRM most effectively • “SRM is too complex for us” • But problem is complex • “We want to use the richer functionality” • “It is slow” • But they are not using it effectively
Role of GSM-WG discussed • Most see need for standards • However, also busy with WLCG • Roadmap discussed • Getting clearer: change to CG
Scope of Group • Storage Element • SRM is the control protocol • GridFTP (&c) for data transfer • GLUE for info
Scope of Group • SRM 2.2 standardisation • GFD.129 • Experiences (GFD.154) finalised • Two standard test suites • Interoperation testing • Documents reviewed by ext’l reviewer
Meta-Issues • Many mailing lists and working groups • gsm-wg itself has low volume • Less direct activity now, more boundary • Various levels of contributions at OGF • A Few Good (Wo)Men – which is good • Occasionally many tourists – also good
OGF contributions • Not just WLCG (openness) • Eg financial, biomed, earth systems, fusion • Mostly sites and devs though • Many dCache people providing good input • Industry (SNIA) EoI via data mgmt
Option chosen: • Long list of issues, see OGF 22 and 23 • New implementations coming along • WLCG will change requirements • Will SRM 2.2+, 2.3 or 3.0 be implemented? • Keep it open • As an alternative to CERN coffee breaks • *Cough*, I mean GDB of course
Not included (?) • SRM security – httpg vs https vs khttp? • Take data transfer on board • Strong req for xrootd standardisation • GridFTP req’d by all SRM impl • https-as-a-transfer-protocol (Paul) • Interop activities • Eg NAREGI, SRB, iRODS
