1. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 1 Testbed: Status & Plans Charles Loomis (CNRS) Sept. 5, 2002 5 th Project Conference (Budapest) charles.loomis@cern.ch (See http://documents.cern.ch/age?a021246 for trans.)http://documents.cern.ch/age?a021246

2. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 2 Software Status EDG 1.2.0  Deployed on application testbed.  20’ time-limit on jobs; high-rate submissions  Other bugs: replica manager, GDMP replication EDG 1.2.1  Deployed on application testbed (CERN, Karlsruhe).  No time-limit; low-rate submissions.  Other bug: GDMP replication EDG 1.2.2  To be tagged when GDMP rpm tested.  No time-limit; low-rate submissions.

3. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 3 Testbed Status Application Testbed (formerly “Production Testbed”)  EDG release 1.2.0 deployed on six sites. —CC-IN2P3, CERN, CNAF, Karlsruhe, NIKHEF, RAL.  Actually split into two parts: —1.2.0 no GASS Cache hack: long jobs, low submission rate —1.2.0 proper: 20’ limit on jobs, high submission rate  But, migrating to 1.2.1/2.  ATLAS tests in progress  See F. Harris’ WP8 talk. Development Testbed  EDG 1.2.1 installed.  Testing 1.2.2 today.

4. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 4 Sites Six main sites currently participating.  CERN, CNAF, Karlsruhe, Lyon, NIKHEF, RAL —See transparancies for individual status. —THANKS! Markus Schulz, Emanuele Leonardi, Alessandro Cavalli, Andrea Chierici, Alessandro Italiano, Markus Hardt, Fabio Hernandez, David Groep, Jeff Templon, Steve Traylen  Beginning to see real computing power available.  Storage beginning to ramp up as well. Around 15 others waiting to join.  Other grid projects (CrossGrid, GridPP, INFN Grid,…)  More still once some national CAs are approved.

5. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 5 Certification Authority Group (D. Kelsey) CAs are under control.  Acceptance procedure working.  Added German CA; Greece made report; Poland & Slovakia by email.  Min. requirements updated (RA procedures; Online CA with special hardware.)  Scalable for future? —Procedures for establishing trust are quite involved. —ATLAS raised issue about length of time to obtain approval. Cross-domain trust.  Will participate in “CA Operations” group in GGF. Kerberos-based CAs:  CERN and FNAL interested with this. VO Authorization Issues.

6. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 6 Authorization Group (L. Gaido) Currently use LDAP-based membership services.  Will have grid-proxy-init with –vo option.  Inserts VO-name into proxy subject.  Requires patch to Globus code and change to mkgridmap.  Available 30 Sept. 2002. VO Membership Service (VOMS)  Inserts membership info into proxy as optional attributes.  Client command (voms-proxy-init), Server, and migration tools exist.  API & Admin. tools available 30 Sept. 2002. Real shift in the way we do VO-authorization.

7. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 7 Other Projects NorduGrid (Balazs Koyna)  Good communication though overlap of people.  Grid Manager: replaces gatekeeper, smart input/output staging  User Interface: contains built-in brokering.  Info. System: based on MDS, includes job monitoring, user-specific info. CrossGrid (Markus Hardt)  Close collaboration between EDG & CrossGrid testbed groups.  Significant contributions to CA group. Globus  Support shaky (distracted by OGSA, fixes supplied by others)  Find EDG effort to support/fix Globus full-time.  Reduce dependencies on Globus as much as possible.

8. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 8 Globus Version Globus 2.1.2  Has fix from CONDOR of GASS Cache problem.  Lot of work to apply to beta-21.  Includes many additional changes job manager. —WP1 logging patches no longer work. —Whole LRMS backend changes to perl framework. Globus 2.2  Exists, but…  Some question about what is happening with the MDS 2.2 in this. Will make Globus Release-24 and test.

9. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 9 Short Term Plans (I) EDG 1.2 series NOT suitable for widespread deployment. EDG 1.2.0  Available now, known limitations. EDG 1.2.1  Deploying now: long jobs, low submission rate.  Deploy multiple resource brokers to reduce problem. EDG 1.2.2  GDMP replication fix.  Done today? Quick upgrade for sites at 1.2.1. EDG 1.2.x  Other critical fixes, but very high threshold now.

10. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 10 Short Term Plans (II) EDG 1.3 series will be widely deployed. EDG 1.3.0  Upgrade Globus—will contain GASS cache patch from Condor.  Hopefully will also have MDS 2.2.  Subject to testing, will be deployed on application testbed. EDG 1.3.x  Clean up LCFG objects/configuration.  Modify setup to support new developer guidelines. EDG 1.4.x  Begin incremental inclusion of new middleware packages.

11. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 11 Rolling Release Autobuild procedure will run daily:  On all supported platforms (RH6.2, 7.2 now)  To build, package, and unit test HEAD version of modules.  Feedback information to developers. Middleware developers:  Use development machines to test software.  Tag package when ready for integration.  Schedule time on development testbed to test package. ITeam  Current baseline release  Add test package  New baseline release.  Will use acceptance test suite to determine if package is included.

12. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 12 Autobuild Procedure (Y. Patois) On RH6.2  All but ~5/30 packages build and are packaged without errors. On RH7.2  Around 10/30 packages fail the “make install” step.  All fail “make rpm” because of rpm command change. Warning:  Won’t integrate packages unless autobuild procedure works.

13. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 13 Testing Group (G. Merino) Cooperation between testing groups (combine?):  TSTG  INFN EDG Testing Group  CrossGrid test/validation group.  LCG Testing Group:  Goals: —Testing of EDG services. —Validation of new site installation & configuration.  Methodology —A priori definition of features to be tested. —Collect tests from group and from others. —Keep framework and tests in CVS.

14. C. Loomis – Testbed: Status… – Sep. 5, 2002 – 14 Documentation Release Notes:  Exist for 1.2.0 (will be updated for 1.2.1). User’s Guide:  Exists, but should be considered draft.  Comments welcome  please use Bugzilla for this. Installation Guide:  Won’t be rewritten until Globus upgrade.  LCFG configuration files up-to-date  must move this to Installation Guide. Tutorial materials also available.
