CIC Portal Usage : who/how Latest Release Portal Characteristics On-going developments CIC portal overview for COD Statistics and results Duties and Working groups Zoom on Failover The 8th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Grid Computing (Grid 2007) 22/08/2014 16
COD Duties • Rotations of 10 federations/teams -- 1/5 weeks. • Quarterly face-to-face meetings to update tools, procedures and uniformize working habits. =================================== • 10 federations over 18 months in EGEE-I • Working groups for over 18 months now….
There is more to it …. Straightforward mandate working groups: GSTAT -- TW, SAM -- CERN, SAMAP – CE, topped by • Tools for Improvement for COD, TIC – CE (EGEE’07)
Working groups mandate • Integration of the existing tools CIC– FR Integration platform of all COD tools to ease-up the daily operational job • Improvement of BEST PRACTICES -- DE-CH Identifity, raise and analyse with COD how to have homogeneous operations • Release of updated documentation OPM –SE Documentation under constant evolution • Set-up of Failover Mechanisms for GRID CORE SERVICES – SWE, What is done at a federation level, what is done at the project level (need help from JShiers group), what could be done (operational point of view) and what is needed at the ROC/Site level (from a m/w point of view). • Set-up of High Availability strategy of the operational tools for CODs FAILOVER– IT

EGEE Failover: purpose • Propose, implement and document failover procedures for the collaboration, management and monitoring tools used in EGEE/WLCG Grid. • Solution is based on DNS and consists in: • mapping the service name to one or more destinations • update this mapping whenever some failure is detected • Geographical failover for the EGEE-WLCG Grid collaboration tools • CHEP 2007, Victoria BC, Canada (September 2007)
COD Work aspects to keep in EGEE IIII • Dedication : Working groups recognized within federations to provide expertise and by federations to make the needs come to the central operations. • Collaboration : Up to now, each federation had found a way to contribute actively to improve their COD work environment, when not proactively leading a working group. Also, each person/tool developper/expert recognized as of « global interest » eventhough out of COD scope has been integrated happily in this « closed community », e.g SAMAP TIC scope to monitor this aspect with Nagios prototype for example. • Flexibility : Purpose of the groups to evolve together with their mandate with time and the upcoming of the needs e.g. Core grid services HA, EGI • Anticipation : e.g. Strategy of the Operational Failover Working Group. • Experiment : e.g regionalisation of tools and the future modular « NGI dashboards » to widen the CE 1rst line support experience.
COD Work aspects to make evolve in EGEE IIII • Mandate and Assessment of the COD activity Integration of NDGF/NE as a COD team – other teams ? Catch-all and global operations center -- what core services are to be monitored centrally , and how to monitor them and how to properly switch to backup -- How to aggregate local data and what local data would be concerned Assess metrics in order to assess the most problematic m/w components, recurrently unreliable sites Operational tools reliability assessment /ENOC test as a start base? Strenghten need on HA/Failover of operational tools and grid core services • Vision of the COD tools long-term evolution : 1 set of tools /federation + aggregation? Which set of tools is to be regionalized ? SAM, GOC DB, COD? what else? How are they going to interact => need for a global schema, NOW.
COD Work aspects to make evolve in EGEE IIII • Leverage on « project labeled » tools in order for operational use-cases for not to remain « pending ». developements strategy/priorities are coherent. -- data workflow – synch GOCDB/BDII/SAM/COD -- development strategy – depends on the stretegy of the COD tools long-term evolution -- priority decision workflow – Who and how to drive the « project labeled » tools requests priority for operational use-cases for not to remain « pending ». - critical tests monitoring/accounting or ARC CE. - ca update procedure, - need for SAM failover… staffing is adequate for proper reactivity not only for bugfix. • Interoperability/interoperations (item to be followed up) • OSG : rather informal for the moment, BUT NOW, users do have problems and sites are the relay of their users cf GGUS ticket 31037. • NDGF : existing critical test monitoring ? and what are the consequences on operational procedures?
Conclusions and References • Where, how, when do we adress these topics?? • Some can be adressed here or can be thought at at COD meetings, some are relevant to OCC/ROC first and COD working groups can then make suggestions/recommendations. • References: • CIC portal: a Collaborative and Scalable Integration Platform for High Availability Grid Operations • Grid 2007 (IEEE), Austin Tx, United-States (September 2007) • Geographical failover for the EGEE-WLCG Grid collaboration tools • CHEP 2007, Victoria BC, Canada (September 2007)
