1. IBCP - CNRS STATUS Christelle Eloto Lyon - France
5th Quattor workshop - Bologna - 17/03/2008

2. What about IBCP

3. What about the GPSA portal

4. What about IBCP’S EGEE node (1)
OBJECTIVES OF THE IBCP’S EGEE NODE
Provide resources to Biomed VO.
Operational site for testing our applications.
Different levels of expertise :
user,
administrator,
developer - grid applications port and support.

5. What about IBCP’S EGEE node (2)
site IBCP-GBIO
gLite 3.1
COMPUTERS
1 CE : 1 GB ram, 1 CPU - SL bits (virtual machine),
1 SE : 2 GB ram, 2 CPU, 74 GB of storage (XSan) -
SL bits (virtual machine),
18 WN (11) : 2 GB ram, 2 CPU - SL bits.
Gigabit ethernet
QWG templates - rev. 3054

6. Why Quattor ? Automatised configuration for OS and gLite middleware.
Compensation for the lack of human power.
Focus on our job and objective : biology.
Need an efficient tool : QUATTOR ?

7. Beginnings with Quattor
August 07 : Introduction of Quattor by Cal Loomis (Paris & Lyon)  creation of our repository.
From august 07 until now :
Precious help from Michel Jouvin and Guillaume Philippon, other sites feedback.
Online documentation : …
Mailing lists :
 Site : Being deployed from scratch since august 07.
Pending SA1 certification (invalid lcg tools).

8. ISSUES (1) : former issues
gLite 3.0 : configuration of mysql database for apel accounting.
QWG tpl rev 2847
Missing of lcg-info-static-site.conf in /opt/glite/etc/gip
 no publication of site information by the BDII.
Missing of gsi-authz.conf in /etc/grid-security
 globus-gatekeeper not functional.
Missing of perl-DateTime package.
Identification of these problems when machines are reinstalled and not just updated.

9. ISSUES (2) : two hard disks
Template pro_site_system_filesystems : sda/hda only.
 Modified to configure sdb when exists.

10. ISSUES (3) : OS distribution URL
TFTP server ≠ RPM repository server
Template pro_site_global_variables
Template quattor/aii/config (in cfg/standard)
 Redefine /system/aii/osinstall/options/installtype in each profile.

11. ISSUES (4) : AII CREATION OF KICKSTART FILE
AII-SHELLFE configure :
Always the same errors (line 260).
Nodes ≠ TFTP server  missing module (package bcm5700).

12. ISSUES (5) : post-installation settings
CE - BDII
~]# tail -f /opt/bdii/var/bdii.log
Error for mkdir /var/glite: Permission denied at /opt/glite/libexec/glite-info-provider-ldap line 86 ==> slapadd: could not parse entry (line=2)
~]# mkdir /var/glite
~]# chown edguser /var/glite
~]# chgrp edguser /var/glite
SE - DISK POOLS AND DPMMGR RIGHTS (dpm-qryconf)
gridmac02:/Volumes/egee/se01 root# mkdir biomed/vol
gridmac02:/Volumes/egee/se01 root# mkdir biomed/perm
~]# dpm-addpool --poolname VBio --def_filesize 200M --def_pintime s_type V
~]# dpm-addpool --poolname PBio --def_filesize 200M --s_type P

~]# dpm-addfs --poolname PBio --server grive12.ibcp.fr --fs /gbiose01/biomed/perm

13. CONCLUSION Biomed site : Improve online documentation Objectives
Provide resources to Biomed VO.
Operational site for testing our applications.
Different levels of expertise on EGEE grid.
Status of IBCP-GBIO site
Installation from scratch.
Deployed by bioinformaticians, not quattor developers.
Pending for certification.
Improve online documentation
AII configuration.
Python 32 bits for SL 64 bits.
Cohabitation of gLite 3.0 and 3.1.
