Lanxin Ma June. 2007 Major work for ; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1. start working on EUChinaGrid infrastructure & application evolution 2. Pushed chinese admin of euchina SAM to upgrade SAM clients, and gave help on solving the problem for EUChina vo during the upgrade 3. Process EUChina tickets 4. infrastructure trubelshooting:investicate & solve EUChina sites problem IHEP UI problem SE in GR-01-AUTH 5. Continue working on CMS SW installation in EUChinaGrid sites - in order to test whether the CMS SW installation scripts work properly, ran the script interactively in euchina ui. The result is that the scripts works properly and CMS SW is installed sucessfully and locally - Test CMS SW locally in order to know whether CMS SW installed by the scripts work properly The result is that CMS SW application installed by the scripts works fine - After testing the scripts locally, launched jobs and installed sucessfully CMS SW application in INFN-CNAF site remotely by jobs. The CE is gridit-ce-001.cnaf.infn.it. - CMS SW appliaction in INFN-CNAF installed remotely by job is tested. it works. And it is published correctly at cms webpage. http://cmsdoc.cern.ch/cms/ccs/wm/www/Crab/cmsCE.html - Also tested CMS SW application in INFN-ROMA3, GR-01-AUTH, INFN-CATANIA using euchina UI & RB and CERN UI & RB - Encountered and fixed problems during installing and testing(it will be in my report). - I am writing CMS SW application installion and test report. - Made CMS SW deployment status form which describe the CMS SW application deployment status in each EUChina site. The form is being filled. 6. EUChinaGrid website usability survey. Major work for ; major changes in workplan --------------------------------------------------------------- 1. VOMRS maintenance & troubleshooting in LCG production server 2. VOMRS user support, Process user's requests, problems & tickets 3. open a vomrs bug in savannah https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?26925 4. Added VOMRS FAQ at http://goc.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gocwiki/VOMRS_FAQ 5. Start working on establishing BDII, WMS, UI& SAM client chain 6.

Dusan Vudragovic 20m

Dusan Vudragovic June, 2007 Major work for SEE-GRID; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- - Finalizing D3.1b – Infrastructure deployment plan - Grid Operator On Duty for one week - SEE-GRID SAM supporter - SEE-GRID helpdesk activities - create the script (ch-lfc-dpns-own) that collects all subgroups and roles from VOMRS/VOMS servers and for these entire adds permissions for to VO specific directory on LFC server - Documentation regarding ch-lfc-dpns-own script - Update of SEE-GRID wiki pages This month I was working really hard on 3.1b – Infrastructure Deployment Plan and it is now in final state. Together with Ivica (RCUB) I have created ch-lfc-dpns-own script. It solves "no permission" problems when user tries to write to VO specific directory using a role or a secondary group. The script collects roles, puts them in LFC database and gives them permission to VO specific LFC directory at first. Afterwards, this is applied to secondary groups. I supplied SEE-GRID wiki pages with its documentation as well. SEE-GRID Hepldesk ticket page was updated by me too. A part from this, I was occupied with standard SEE-GRID operational activities. Major work for GD-OPS; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- - Configuration of tomcat DN base authentication for SAM programmatic web interface - ROC on duty for one week (25-29 June) - SAM supporter for one week (4-8 June) The most of time I spent performing configuration of tomcat DN base authentication for SAM programmatic interface. For now it works using IP based authentication that is not appropriate. I have finished it and it needs to be put it in production. A part from this, I spent one week as ROC operator on duty and one week more as SAM supporter during the month. Major issues arising -------------------- Major events attended (include links to event/presentation) --------------------- - wLCG/ EGEE Grid Operations Workshop in Stockholm - WLCG-OSG-EGEE Operations meeting (CERN conferencing service, June 25) http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=17856 - SAM weekly meetings - IT-GD-OPD weekly meetings Beside weekly SAM and IT-GS-OPS meetings I attended WLCG-OSG-EGEE Operations meeting on June 25. I spent three days in Stockholm at wLCG/ EGEE Grid Operations Workshop. Plans to attend/organize major events (intra-EGEE and others) ------------------------------------------------------------- Holidays during the period ------------------------------------------------------------ - 1 day Last month I was on holydays for 1 day. TimeSheet for the month ------------------------------------------------------------ WP3 A3.1 100% All my activities can be characterized as WP3 A3.1 activities.

Konstantin Skaburskas

Konstantin Skaburskas June, 2007 Major work for Health-e-Child; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- - hiding NICs from dom0 and exclusively assigning them to domUs with Xen on Dell PowerEdge 2950 with 2 types of Broadcome ether adapters/drivers. Problem resolved - allows reduction of the number of IPs required for deployment at hospitals. - reconfiguration of Siemens site (new hostnames/IPs) - started to work on deliverable D5.1 "Report on tested prototype Grid Platform" - revision of HeC internal deliverable ("Access Points and Access Schemes") - started production deployment. First two servers are in first hospital IGG in Genova. Started working on reconfiguration/installation. Resolving networking related problems in IGG - HeC has only one VO and logical grouping of members is done on VO sub-groups level. Looked at what Jobs Priorities WG is doing with respect to (Glue)AccessControlBaseRule and to what extent it is implemented in YAIM. Proposed new configurations of CEs for HeC. Tested. Surely, does not work with current version of WMS - tried to work out a solution for how to support separated software areas for VO subgroups. Useful for software licensed for a group of members of a VO - gLite updates on HeC infa - routine support of HeC developers, site admins - minor support of HeC Admins tutorial at CERN given by Gilda team Major work for <GD-OPS; GD-ITR>; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- - GMOD 4th-11th June / GMOD backup 11th-18th June - 4 bugs submitted for glite-CE, YAIM, UI, "lcg-infosites". - routine gLite updates of CERN_PPS services (WMS, FTS, MONBox_e2emonit) - Became a member of SAM development team: started working on solutions for two SAM bugs Major issues arising -------------------- - Major events attended (include links to event/presentation) --------------------- - 2007-06-12: gave an overview of hospitals deployment scenarios for HeC project members from UWE on their internal coordination meeting at CERN. - 2007-06-27: synchronizations meeting with project partners - topics: deliverables, sites configuration issues, first applications on HeC infra.
