Procurement of equipment is an issue  Several constraints: space in the machine room, budget constraints, delivery delays, requested availability, …

Malek, ISGC symposium, March 27th 2007, Taipei 29 Facility Upgrade Major effort for upgrading the electric and cooling infrastructure of the site  Currently reaching the limits of the installation  When the current works will be finished (april 2007)  from 500 kW to 1000 kW usable for computing equipement Courtesy of Dominique Boutigny Average total electrical power monthly consumption

30. V. Breton, E. Lançon and F. Malek, ISGC symposium, March 27th 2007, Taipei 30 Facility Upgrade (cont.) Scheduled 4 days-long complete shutdown of the site in December 2006 for replacing central electric equipment  Vital services (network equipment, mail servers, web servers, Oracle, FTS, LFCs, VOMS,…) were kept alive by ad hoc means)  Extensive use of virtual machines  Others services have been switched to partner sites  CIC Portal was hosted by CNAF during the shutdown and switched back to CC-IN2P3 afterwards  Failover procedure tested in real conditions

31. V. Breton, E. Lançon and F. Malek, ISGC symposium, March 27th 2007, Taipei 31 Plans for 2007 Tier-1  Consolidate current grid services and integrate them into « normal » operations  Works towards the stability desired not only by the experiments but by the people operating the services  Increase network bandwidth with tier-2s and backup link to other tier- 1s through FZK  Increase the rythm of the new machine room building project planned for 2009 Tier-2s/Tier-3s  Improve availability of the sites  Keep exercising the data transfer infrastructure All  Make sure site administrators understand the ways data will be accessed (!)

32. V. Breton, E. Lançon and F. Malek, ISGC symposium, March 27th 2007, Taipei 32 Conclusions Participating sites are very motivated to contribute to this project…  … but it is harder than most of us expected Ramp up plans of sites are rather aggressive  Several constraints don’t really make our life easier Operating the grid services in their current status is complex and requires (highly competent and motivated) people
