1. EGEE-III INFSO-RI-222667 Enabling Grids for E-sciencE www.eu-egee.org EGEE and gLite are registered trademarks EGEE-EGI Grid Operations Transition Maite Barroso, CERN GDB, 10/02/2010

2. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI-222667 Overview Regionalization of operation tools Transition of regional teams and grid operator on duty roles Transition to global international tasks (O-E-x) EGEE grid operations tasks without a clear placement in EGI Prototype NGIs Issues SA1 Coordination Meeting - 15-Dec-09 - CERN 2

3. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI-222667 Regionalization of operation tools Regional monitoring with Nagios (to replace central SAM monitoring) –Validation central regional setup at CERN (1 box per ROC) –Regional boxes in all ROCs  Ongoing testing, to be compared to validation instances Operations dashboard using Nagios –Used by regional ops teams to process alarms and open tickets to sites –Validation central instance with regional views available  Ongoing testing, comparison with central instance + SAM –Regional instance available for test SA1 Coordination Meeting - 15-Dec-09 - CERN 3

4. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI-222667 Regional teams (COD) They are all regional since June this year Very active is testing new regionalized tools and give feedback Essential forum to disseminate information to regions about ongoing changes Questionnaire done to understand readiness of NGI regional teams –Difficult to contact NGIs –Mixed level of readiness –Many ROCs will keep present structure, 3 will split, 2 with many sites (SEE and CE) SA1 Coordination Meeting - 15-Dec-09 - CERN 4

5. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI-222667 Global international tasks Summary: no major issues, ongoing transition to new responsible O-E-1 Operation of the grid topology and configuration repositories O-E-2 Operation of accounting repositories for international VOs O-E-3 Operation of the grid repositories storing monitoring and performance data, and other related information O-E-4 Operation of the grid operations portals O-E-5 Grid operation and oversight of the e-infrastructure O-E-6 Central and regional Grid support, operation of a ticketing system and of a document repository O-E-7 Triage of incoming problems O-E-8 Gathering of requirements for user support tools and processes O-E-9 Coordination of middleware roll-out and deployment, middleware pilot and certification testbeds O-E-10 Coordination of resource allocation and of brokering support for VOs from NGIs O-E-11 Coordination of interoperations between NGIs and other grids. EGI.eu O-E-12 Coordination of network support O-E-13 Coordination of definition of best practices, operations procedures, operations requirements O-E-14 Operation of production grid core software services, catch-all services for international VOs, catch-all CA O-E-15 Coordination of security policy development and maintenance O-E-16 Coordination of security and incident response O-E-17 Coordination of development and maintenance of operational tools SA1 Coordination Meeting - 15-Dec-09 - CERN 5

6. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI-222667 EGEE tasks not clear in EGI GSV: contributions from NGIs, leadership without clear funding associated Catch all ROC: not seen as needed in EGI, buddy system between NGIs? Dteam VO: more discussions needed to understand present use Weekly operations meeting Failover instances of ops tools: several solutions, to be evaluated and proposed by tools responsible teams SLAs with sites –Coordination: Amsterdam –Follow up availability reports: O-E-5 NL/Pol –Availability recalculation requests (needs global understanding of ongoing issues, not purely technical) SA1 Coordination Meeting - 15-Dec-09 - CERN 6

7. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI-222667 NGI prototypes Some ROCs/NGIs expressed will to start activities as NGIs as soon as possible, in EGEE times –This was not originally planned, EGEE SA1 planned distribution to ROCs –Proposal to get volunteer NGIs to go through the process, find issues and document them –Poland from CE ROC  Chezk republic will follow –Greece from SEE ROC  Serbia and Turkey will follow SA1 Coordination Meeting - 15-Dec-09 - CERN 7

8. Enabling Grids for E-sciencE EGEE-III INFSO-RI-222667 Issues Sites must volunteer for staged rollout –Software moves into production after staged-rollout –Sites (& communities) need to agree to be early deployers & then to use the software before OK for wider deployment ROCs need to contributing effort for testing and deployment of the operational tools –Experimental establishment of NGIs within ROCs slow Regionalised views may be sufficient –Regionalised deployments of less interest as little/no project funds available The non-establishment of EGI.eu and associated staff –Where Global tasks hosted by partners transition proceeds –Where activity/leadership goes to EGI.eu there are issues
