EUChinaGrid WP3 Teleconf

Tuesday 6 Feb 2007, 08:00 → 18:00 Europe/Zurich

Partecipans from: INFN-CATANIA, INFN-CNAF, CERN, IHEP, CYFRONET Giuseppe Andronico: GA Enrico Fattibene: EF Gang Chen: GC Florida Estrella: FE Maciej Malawski: MM Yaodong Cheng: YC Andrea Chierici: AC Lanxin Ma: LM John Shade: JS Andrea Chierici: AC AC: Big advances have been done in interoperability activity. Some jobs ran from glite to gos and vice versa. GA: We have to provide a prototype for the end of the project. We are doing very well AC: space to Enrico for operations EF: Wisdom job shown euchina vo problems, it was a good test and we understood that operations are fundamental. CMS will begin shortly, we need to go on with this activity. Other sites will join we need good operation activities. Operations activities for new EuchinaGrid sites will be done by us, we can not count on global GOC db. This pushes us to improve this activity and to create a team that periodically performs operations. 2 shifts per week should be enough. LM installed sam server, working fine. Gridice monitoring used to control infrastructure. EF: ticketing system working correctly. Every institute registered with at least one person. It should be better to have 2. 2nd voms server is up and running, waiting for every other site to copy the cert. When this will be done, we will be able to configure rb and ui to give proxy by it. We can't use it until everyone completes this activity. AC: Introduces the importance of operation activity. Every institute have to demand some guy to do shifts. 1 per week. Indicate 1 responsible for each site. GC: Yaodong and another person will perform the shifts for IHEP. He will ask also for a person from CNIC. AC: Asks if Lanxin is available to do shifts. LM: confirms to be available. AC: for other instistutes we have to ask by email. GA: asks details on the status of the various services. GA: notes a problem with the gridice configuration on CYFRONET sites. GA: asks if it’s possible to change the region of IHEP and CNIC in gridice from CERN to CHINA. EF: it’s not possible. AC: communications problems GA: propose to do meeting every 2-3 weeks. GC: Confirms that videoconferencing with CNAF MCU is fine AC: expanding euchina infrastructure. Peking University? GA: they solved problem with international network connection. In March they should be able to join. GA-AC: all people have to send some slides to Andrea on the work performed to be inserted in the presentation for the review. AC: expanding the sites? GA: Taiwan people will be contacted in march. We can talk in Madrid about this. FE: if anyone has problem with visa for Taiwan meeting have to talk to her. GA: Fallback video solution for the demo at the review will be produced by Catania people in order to show an exchange of jobs across the 2 middleware; if something goes wrong the video will be used, otherwhise a live demo will be held. GA: will send more informations about review. Andrea Chierici <andrea.chierici@cnaf.infn.it> INFN-CNAF =============================== (From Lanxin Ma) EUChinaGrid WP3 technical vedio conference on 6th Feb. 2007 (written by Lanxin Ma) Partecipans: CERN(Florida Estrella, Lanxin Ma, john Shade) INFN-CATANIA(Giuseppe Andronico), INFN-CNAF(Enrico Fattibene,Andrea Chierici), IHEP(Gang Chen,Yaodong Cheng), CYFRONET(Maciej Malawski) * The interoperability between GOC and gLite: The interoperability had been disscussed in the meeting in Beijing(at the end of Jan. 2007). Now we have a gateway, can submit a job from one middleware to another middleware. Big advances have been done in interoperability activity. Some jobs ran from glite to gos and vice versa. Something also need to be improved. We have to provide a prototype for the end of the project or put in production. We are doing very well. * Operation support: We have good infrastructure. We shuold do operation activity as the operations are fundamental. Wisdom job show us the problems in some site of euchina vo, and CMS and ATLAS will begin shortly. we need to go on with this activity. Other sites will join we need good operation activities. Operations activities for new EuchinaGrid sites will be done by us. We can not count on global GOC db. This pushes us to improve this activity and to create a team that periodically performs operations. 2 shifts per week should be enough. People from each site should do the shift,indicate 1 responsible for each site. Every site, every instutute should read and process tickets in euchina ticket system, and make nodes in each site status are currect. In Beijing IHEP site, Yaodong and other young people will do the shift. For other sites, we will ask by email. Lanxin installed SAM server which work fine. gridice used to control infrastructure. Tickets system works correctly. Every institute registered with at least one person, it is better to have 2 persons. 2nd voms is up and running(installed and mantain by CERN), we are waiting for each site to copy the cert and re-sonfigure their site with 2nd voms. When this will be done, we will be able to configure rb and ui to give proxy by it. We can't use it until everyone completes this activity. Lanxin is counted to do operation support. Will ask if it is possible to change the region of IHEP and CNIC in gridice from CERN to CHINA. Extending euchina infrastructure: Peiking University site should be able to join at March 2007. Taiwan people will be contacted in march, this can be talked in Madrid. * 1st project review People per institute have to send some slides to Andrea on the WP3 work performed to be inserted in the presentation for the review before 23rd Feb. Fallback video solution for the demo at the review will be produced by Catania people in order to show an exchange of jobs across the 2 middleware; if something goes wrong the video will be used, otherwhise a live demo will be held. More informations about review will be sent by project board. * Other Propose to have meeting every 2-3 weeks. if anyone has problem with visa for Taiwan meeting have to talk to Florida. Propose to start the meeting on time next time.
