1. Presenter Name Facility Name EDG Testbed Status Moving to Testbed Two

2. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Outline Current production status. Testbed at RAL. Testbed two. Changes from testbed one. LCFG -> LCFGng Software by node type. Status of integration of testbed two.

3. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Current Application TB Status Recommended testbed is still RH6.2, edg1.4.9 with LCFG. Currently eight UK sites contribute to the the total seventeen in datagrid. Not changed this year since the BD-II was introduced. The RB is again the limiting factor now the information system is reliable.

4. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Production Testbed at RAL. 1 CE, 1 SE (350 GB), 10 WNs, 1 UI. Top edgapp GIIS now at RAL. 1 CE as a gatekeeper into tier1a system. –In use by Atlas, Babar, LHCb and DZero,

5. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Running Production Jobs One month to 27 th April

6. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Development Testbed at RAL CE, SE, WN, MON, RLS, VOMS and LCFGng exist already. UI exists (gppui06.gridpp.rl.ac.uk) RB, HLR and PA to be installed this week. Updates happen twice a day on average. Improvements now faster than the addition of software.

7. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Testbed Two Lots more node types. Everything is incompatible including schema, globus, gridftp,… Still a lot of testing to be done. Loose cannons are not yet loose. GDMP vanishes which is good for integration of software into farms.

8. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 LCFG -> LCFGng LCFGng is definitely an improvement. –NIS clients can be configured. –DMA can be turned on. –Using autofs is now the default. –Node profile updates happen immediately and reliably. –Reboot for ever does not happen. –PXE support built in from the start. http://gpplcfg.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/install/install.cgi http://gpplcfg.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/install/install.cgi –LCFGng generally is more complete. WP4s instructions are better and time proof. LCFGng has a web interface.

9. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 LCFG ->LCFGng(2) Each node and object reports back its status. http://gpplcfg.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/status/.http://gpplcfg.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/status/ Middleware configuration completed by the developers and is a lot more ‘intelligent’. EDG profiles are more modular and clearer than before. Hardware support is still limited, e.G. Raid, SCSI, e1000 all require special case kernels. Post install notes will be supplied but are smaller, e.g gridmapdir is mounted, pool account lock files created, site GIIS configured to accept registrations from SE.

10. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Compute Element Node Now use’s Maui 3.2.6 for scheduling. –Information providers claimed to support this. MPICH is installed. –Needed for wp1’s support of MPI jobs. GLOBUS v2.2.4 supplied from VDT 1.1.8. –VDT. Virtual data toolkit from iVDgl. Gatekeeper, MDS and gridftp server. R-GMA client – Publishing CE information via GIN.

11. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Computing Element(2) GridFTP logs published into R-GMA. MSA. Monitoring Sensor Agent. Application software. DGAS client. One CE per site is required.

12. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Worker Node Application Software. Globus clients, GridFTP. RFIO clients. MSA, Monitoring Sensor Agent. VOMS, R-GMA, RLS, Reptor, Netcost and SE clients. At least one per site required.

13. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Storage Element Globus, GridFTP and MDS Information Providers publishing via MDS and GIN, R-GMA. GridFTP logs published into R-GMA. Replica Location -> Site Replica mapping. SE (apache) and SE web service (tomcat). One per site, possibly one per media, e.g. CASTOR, Atlas Data Store, Disk? MSA. Monitoring Sensor Agent.

14. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 User Interface Clients for: –Datagrid job submission. –Globus job submission. –R-GMA –SE –VOMS –RLS, Reptor, Optor –Network cost client. Access required by all users of datagrid.

15. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Monitor Box Two distinct functions. R-GMA servlets(tomcat) –CE, SE and application producers register here. The fmonServer collects information from all the MSA. –Sensors such as lm_sensors, load, uptime, network I/O collected on the MON box. MySQL. One per site required, unless tomcat is moved elsewhere.

16. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Replica Location Service Node Tomcat MySQL R-GMA client, publishes service status. Replica catalogue. Metadata catalogue. Replaces the current replica catalogue. One node per VO until VOMS is integrated.

17. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Information Catalogue Node R-GMA registry servlets. Tomcat MySQL One node required per testbed.

18. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Network Monitor Iperf – Network bandwidth. Pinger – RTT time. UDPmon – UDP throughput. rTPL – A combination of the above. Netagent – Network traffic from interface to router. All published via apache and perl cgi. One per site.

19. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 VOMS and MyProxy node VOMS –Apache (mod_perl) –MySQL –One per VO required. –VOMS will not be in TB2. MyProxy –MyProxy server. –At least one per testbed.

20. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 WP1 Nodes DGAS (dg accounting service)  3 nodes. Deployment commences this week. RB ( Resource Broker) –At least one per testbed. HLR (Home Location Register Node) –Stores the accounts of users and resources. –One per testbed. (or site?). PA (Price Authority Node) –Assigns prices to resources. –One per VO.

21. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Status of Integration Lots of parallel changes, lots of new software. –Impossible to follow. Globus job submission is working, with some magic. Fabric Management and Network Monitoring complete. Information system, R-GMA was working well but introduction of GLUE has required a re- release. RLS service has been shown to work. Integration of the SE and SE with RLS is not completed.

22. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Status of Integration(2) Introduction of WP1 software this week and its success is critical to a release date. Job management interfaces to almost everything though this is the final component. May is expected to consist of continuous bug fixes once all software has been deployed.

23. Steve Traylen, s.traylen@rl.ac.uk PPD 28th April 2003 Testbed Two in the UK For a UK independent grid the UK will need to support the gridpp VO. –RB, HLR(?), PA, RLS, VOMS. Once the RB is in place (IC) then it makes sense to move interested sites to testbed two. What happens next? –LCG1, Crossgrid and EDG boundaries become blurred.
