CCA Forum Winter Meeting January CCA Common Component Architecture CCA Forum Collaboration Services Migration Update David E. Bernholdt ORNL

CCA Forum Winter Meeting January 2008 CCA Common Component Architecture In Case You’ve Forgotten We are in the process of migrating cca- forum.org and related services from ancient machines at LBNL to new(er) machines at ORNL Web site, wiki, mailing lists have been running off of the ORNL server for months ( SSH logins, CVS and SVN repositories are still on the LBNL system (cca-forum.org)

CCA Forum Winter Meeting January 2008 CCA Common Component Architecture Why is this Taking so Long? Using professional system administrators has both advantages and disadvantages –Advantage: they can do a lot of things cheaper and more efficiently than we can –Advantage: they know the ins and outs of satisfying cyber security requirements –Disadvantage: they’re oversubscribed –Disadvantage: a constant stream of security incidents and top-down DOE requirements takes priority over most other things I’m in the process of writing a service agreement so we can reduce these problems in the future

CCA Forum Winter Meeting January 2008 CCA Common Component Architecture Coming Soon: Login Accounts and the Last Great Migration! 1.Our server is being hooked up to the official, approved, apple pie-friendly ORNL account management system (XCAMS) 2.Everyone will need to create an XCAMS account for themselves 3.Everyone will need to request appropriate CCA resource group(s) Approval by me initially, later also Rob, Ben, Tom 4.We will arrange with you a “cut-off date” to move your files from LBL to ORNL and cease using LBL 5.Groups collaborating through CVS/SVN will need to set cut- offs for their migrations 6.When enough people are running on the ORNL server, we will redirect the host name cca-forum.org to it, officially eliminating access to the LBL server.

CCA Forum Winter Meeting January 2008 CCA Common Component Architecture Do it Soon!
