Fabric Management goals for the workshop

• What is minimal fabric monitoring that grid operations needs?
• What packages are available?
• Improving fabric resilience - db service backups
• Middleware portability - using other linux distributions - work done in FZK, Croatia, etc.
• Can we get a fabric management cookbook? Needed as part of EGEE/SA1 cookbook, but needed in its own right.

11:30 → 13:15 Operations - I

Operations goals for the workshop

• Interoperation: all aspects; what makes sense? what can be achieved? what can we learn from each other?
• Metrics: to demonstrate a reliable, performant, robust, supported service that improves in quality
• Integrating LCG Service Challenges and pre-production service into the regular operations
• Monitoring tools: where are we? what is missing? How do we fill in the gaps?
• (EGEE) Release/deployment process in the SC/LHC era

11:30 Metrics

11:30 → 13:15 User Support - I

User Support Goals for the workshop

• Report on what has been done and the current plans for 2005-2006;
• Get feedback from those involved in delivering the service;
• Integration with other systems, in particular OSG;
• Supporting Service Challenges (LHC and Biomed);
• Involvement of support groups (such as ROCs in TPM).
