1. AliEn2 and GSI batch farm/disks/tape Current status Kilian Schwarz

2. Status GSI batch farm 4 machines dedicated to ALICE (alice queue) (Dual P4 Xeon 2 GHz, 1 GB RAM) New queue (bsarge) in testing state (ca. 20 Opteron, 2.3 GHz, 4 GB RAM, Currently Debian Sarge 32bit) ROOT/AliRoot exist compiled for Debian Sarge (gcc 3.3.5) access via. Alilogin v4-03-04-sarge. First AliRoot test runs successful

3. Status GSI disk /d/alice01/03/04/05 dedicated for ALICE altogether still 220 GB space free 3 new fileserver provide 8 TB disk space for Grid usage (LCG SRM) – interface to local users still investigated (xrootd ?) 2 new fileservers available with 6 TB disk space. Need to be built in by systems group

4. Status GSI tape 3 ALICE tape archives available Alice (generic use), Aliprod (AliEn use), Aliceraw (for raw data)

5. Status AliEn2 Newest version (AliEn2.5) installed and working

6. production - GSI participates in SC3 and DC05 currently 6 jobs in parallel (alice queue) new Sarge machines being included soon GSI SC3 is planned to run via Christmas holidays At GSI central IT services are not planned to be supervised On new Sarge queue in principle 96 jobs in parallel possible (limited only by GSI bandwidth)

7. Get certificate (http://wiki.gsi.de/Grid)http://wiki.gsi.de/Grid New AliEn user has to be created (workflow unclear !!!) Mkdir $HOME/.alien Echo „export AlIEN_USER=user“ > $HOME/.alien/Environment ln –s $HOME/.globus $HOME/.alien/globus >. /u/aliprod/bin/.alienlogin > alien register-cert (AFS password required) > alien proxy-init > alien (login) Access to AliEn User story discussed in ALICE-LCG- TF: User support and documentation needed SC4: individual user analysis

8. Production via AliEn Ingredients: sim.C, rec.C, simRun.C, production.jdl sim.C void rec() { AliSimulation simu; TStopwatch timer; timer.Start(); sim.Run(); timer.Stop(); timer.Print(); } rec.C void rec() { AliReconstruction reco; TStopwatch timer; timer.Start(); reco.Run(); timer.Stop(); timer.Print(); }

11. Add locally produced files in AliEn File Catalogue e.g. > alien alien:> cd alien:> add ks_newfile file://lxg0503.gsi.de/misc/kschwarz/testjob s/Config.C file://lxg0503.gsi.de/misc/kschwarz/testjob s/Config.C alien:>“Registering file in ALICE::GSI::File“ alien:>“File inserted into catalogue“

12. Submit the job, monitor, get output > alien login alien:> submit production.jdl alien:> top alien:> spy jobID nodeinfo/stdout/stderr alien:> cd outputdirectory alien:> get outputfiles

13. Analysis via AliEn Ingredients: esdanalysis.jdl, AliESD.par (PROOF Archive), AliEnBatchAnalysis.C, esdTree.C/h (Selector files) method: same as with production – create files, register them in AliEn FC, submit job, get output.
