However\, grid middleware so far has not been part of the mainstream Linux distributions used by resource prov iders and users. The installation and maintenance of the grid middleware t herefore imposes additional burdens on both computing centres and users wi shing to participate in the processing of the experimental data.

DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090527T063000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090527T070000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-22@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: REUTER\, Hartmut (Rechenzentrum Garching)\nAFS/OSD w as presented two years ago on the HEPIX Spring 2007 in Hamburg. At this ti me the results of the R&D project sponsored by CERN and ENEA were presente d which showed that performance of AFS/OSD scales linearly with the number of OSDs used. For RZG\, however\, the goal was to replace MR-AFS which fo r the last 12 years had offered HSM-features to AFS. Therefore the concept of "archival OSDs" and "wipeable OSDs" has been introduced. Files in OSDs automatically get copies on archival OSDs with the double purpose to prot ect the files against loss of a disk system and to allow wipeing of files in order to free disk space. In 2007 these features have been added to AFS /OSD and at the begin of 2008 MR-AFS has been replaced by AFS/OSD in place (without moving data on tapes). In Garching TSM-HSM is used as an underly ing HSM system\, but any filesystem based HSM system can be used. In coope ration with DESY also an interface to dCache/Chimera has been developed. T he AFS cell at RZG today contains nearly 300 TB 80% of which are stored in OSDs. Felix Frank from DESY added the policy support which allows to spec ify for a volume or for a directory which files should go into OSDs\, shou ld be striped over multiple OSDs\, or get copies in multiple OSDs. Policie s can be based on file name patterns or size.\n\nAdditional work is in pro gress to use cluster filesystems such as Lustre or GPFS for AFS. This tech nique offers fastest access to data stored in AFS inside the cluster while world wide access with normal AFS speed is still possible. It also adds H SM features Lustre.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contri bId=22&sessionId=9&confId=45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=22&sessionId=9& confId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Lustre over WAN DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090527T070000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090527T072000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-23@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: HONORE\, Pierre-Francois (CEA)\nhttp://indico.cern.c h/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=23&sessionId=9&confId=45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=23&sessionId=9& confId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Playing with Puppets instead of managing your systems DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090525T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090525T093000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-46@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. BELLMAN\, Thomas (National Supercomputer Centre\ , Sweden)\nAs a way of automating and structuring the administration of ou r clusters\, we have started using Puppet\, which is a system for configur ing and administering Unix machines\, similar to Cfengine.

Till now high availability was achieved by host per host red undancy\, a highly expensive method in terms of hardware and human costs. A new approach to the problem can be offered by virtualization.\nUsing vir tualization\, it is possible to achieve a redundancy system for all the se rvices running on a data center. This new approach to high availability al lows to share the running virtual machines over the servers up and running \, by exploiting the features of the virtualization layer: start\, stop an d move virtual machines between physical hosts.\nThe system (3RC) is based on a finite state machine with hysteresis\, providing the possibility to restart each virtual machine over any physical host\, or reinstall it from scratch. A complete infrastructure has been developed to install operatin g system and middleware in a few minutes. To virtualize the main servers o f a data center\, a new procedure has been developed to migrate physical t o virtual hosts.\nThe whole Grid data center SNS-PISA is running at the mo ment in virtual environment under the high availability system. As extensi on of the 3RC architecture\, several storage solutions have been tested to store and centralize all the virtual disks\, from NAS to SAN\, to grant d ata safety and access from everywhere.\nExploiting virtualization and abil ity to automatically reinstall a host\, we provide a sort of host on-deman d\, where the action on a virtual machine is performed only when a disaste r occurs.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=4&sess ionId=7&confId=45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=4&sessionId=7&c onfId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The OpenNebula Engine for on-Demand Resource Provisioning DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090528T090000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090528T094500Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-7@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: FONTAN\, Javier ()\nOpenNebula is an open source vir tual infrastructure engine that enables the dynamic placement of VMs on a pool of physical resources. It provides a powerful and agile CLI and API for monitoring and controlling large scale VM deployments\, including netw orking and image management\, and a flexible and generic framework to defi ne new policies for capacity provision. Additionally\, OpenNebula provides plugins to access commercial clouds (Amazon EC2 and ElasticHosts) to supp lement local resources with cloud resources to satisfy peak or fluctuating demands in the service workload. OpenNebula extends the benefits of virtu alization platforms (hypervisors) from a single physical resource to a poo l of resources\, decoupling the server not only from the physical infrastr ucture but also from the physical location. In computing environments\, su ch separation of resource provisioning from job execution management provi des several benefits: (1) elastic site capacity\, the capacity of the site can be modified by deploying (or shutting down) virtual worker nodes on a n on-demand basis\, either in local physical resources or in remote resour ces\; (2) cluster partitioning\, the physical resources of the site could be used to execute worker nodes bound to different virtual computing clust ers\, and thus isolating their workloads and partitioning the performance assigned to each virtual cluster\; and (3) heterogeneous configurations\, the virtual worker nodes of a virtual cluster can have multiple (even conf licting) software configurations.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDis play.py?contribId=7&sessionId=14&confId=45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=7&sessionId=14& confId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:HA Cluster using Open Sharedroot DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090528T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090528T143000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-6@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: STEINBERGER\, Klaus (LMU München)\nAt the LMU Münc hen\, Faculty of Physics we currently deploy a storage and server cluster\ , which should serve home directorys and other services to the whole facul ty.

It proposes a new approach based on extensi ve use of virtualization and distribution of contents over the network. Th us\, two main components are envisioned in this new paradigm: the CERNVM v irtual machine and the CERNVM File System (CVMFS). The former\, based on r Path Linux\, leverages the position of virtualization as a new technology enabler letting the user choose his own preferred hardware platform. The l atter builds an efficient and highly distributable Content Delivery Networ k on top of the well-known HTTP protocol. Using the CVMFS implements aggre ssive caching policies to enable disconnected mode of operation. This talk will be focused on the current implementation aspects of the underlying i nfrastructure and the choices for its essential building blocks. That is\, computing virtualization (VMWare vs. XEN)\, storage virtualization (hardw are based vs. software based)\, provisioning interfaces (Virtual Infrastru cture) and content switching (switching L4 vs. L7).

The latest release of the virtual infrastructure is based on Hyper-V\, Microsoft Virtual Machine Manager\, management SOAP web services and user web interface. This talk will present this approach and will discuss the evolution of the Microsoft Hypervisor from the perspecti ve of both the end-user and the system administrator.\n\nhttp://indico.cer n.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=32&sessionId=8&confId=45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=32&sessionId=8& confId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:A new Data Centre for CC-IN2P3 DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090528T120000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090528T123000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-56@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contr ibId=56&sessionId=21&confId=45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=56&sessionId=21 &confId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:DESY site report DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090526T065000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090526T071000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-51@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: BEYER\, Christoph (DESY HH)\nDESY site report\n\nhtt p://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=51&sessionId=6&confId= 45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=51&sessionId=6& confId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Virtual Machine CPU Benchmarking the HEPiX way DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090528T063000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090528T070000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-36@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: GABLE\, Ian (University of Victoria)\nWe employ the HEP-SPEC06 benchmark\, developed by the HEPiX CPU benchmarking working gro up\, to evaluate CPU performance of a number of virtual machines configura tions for the highly CPU loaded HEP worker node. Benchmarks are performed on 8 different models of AMD and Intel CPU spanning 2003 to 2008 generati on architectures. We demonstrate that multi-core worker node can run n VM s where n is the number of cores without suffering significant CPU perform ance penalties. Our focus is\nprimarily on Xen\, but we have some prelimin ary KVM results.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId =36&sessionId=13&confId=45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=36&sessionId=13 &confId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:NDGF Site Report DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090525T120000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090525T122000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-35@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: WADENSTEIN\, Mattias (NDGF)\nRecent development and news from the NDGF sphere.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py ?contribId=35&sessionId=19&confId=45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=35&sessionId=19 &confId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:HPC2N Data Center tour groups A + B DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090526T140000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090526T143000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-52@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nTour for groups A and B of the HPC2N facilities.\n \nGroup registration on papers at the registration desk.\n\nThose not in g roups A or B have this slot free.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDis play.py?contribId=52&sessionId=12&confId=45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=52&sessionId=12 &confId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:HPC2N Data Center tour groups C & D DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090528T123000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090528T130000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-55@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contr ibId=55&sessionId=21&confId=45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=55&sessionId=21 &confId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:RAL Site Report DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090525T124000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090525T130000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-37@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. BLY\, Martin (STFC-RAL)\nUpdate on activities at the RAL Tier1\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=3 7&sessionId=19&confId=45282 LOCATION:Umeå University Big Auditorium (kb3b1)\, KBC building URL:http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=37&sessionId=19 &confId=45282 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:SMS based OTP system for SSH logins DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090526T150000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20090526T153000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130518T180103Z UID:indico-contribution-45282-18@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. LINDEMANN\, Jonas (Lund University)\nTo strength en the security at Lunarc\, SMS based OTP system has been implemented for SSH logins.
