Dusan Vudragovic August, 2007 Major work for SEE-GRID; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- - SEE-GRID contribution for Chapter 7 of the EGEE-II deliverable DSA1.5: Grid Operations Cookbook http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=21635 - Preparing description of WiatG further development plan http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=20695 - Tutorial about Tomcat SSL-integration and DN-based authentication for Web Authentication and Authorization (T8) as a chapter of SEE-GRID Gridification Guide http://wiki.egee-see.org/index.php/SG_Gridification_Guide http://wiki.egee-see.org/index.php/Simple_Tomcat-SSL_integration_and_DN-based_authentication - Preparation of SEE-GRID YAIM RPMs customization (glite-yaim-seegrid version 1.0.1-2 and 1.0.2-1 for glite-yaim-core 3.1.1-8 and 3.1.1-9) http://wiki.egee-see.org/index.php/SG_GLITE-3_Guide http://glite.phy.bg.ac.yu/GLITE-3/yaim/ - SEE-GRID SAM supporter - SEE-GRID helpdesk activities This month I wrote SEE-GRID contribution for Chapter 7 of the EGEE-II deliverable DSA1.5: Grid Operations Cookbook (http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=21635) and sent it to SEE-GRID mailing list, collected comments and implemented some of them. This chapter is intended to be a summary of the experience and knowledge gained during the building of the regional projects' grid infrastructures. The document is intended to explain some decisions and choices made during planning, deploying, and operating infrastructure. I prepared WiatG further development for phone conference regarding monitoring tools http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=20695 WiatG further development will be concentrated on following things: BDII web service, sBDII web service, new organization of BDII/sBDII, HGSM (SEE-GRID analogue to GOCDB) web service, Web Applications for visualization of these web services, Alarm dashboard. A part from this, relationship between BDII->GOCDB updates and Downtime Notification automation was discussed at the meeting. I wrote tutorial about Tomcat-SSL integration and DN-based authentication for Web Authentication and Authorization (T8) as a chapter of SEE-GRID Gridification Guide http://wiki.egee-see.org/index.php/SG_Gridification_Guide http://wiki.egee-see.org/index.php/Simple_Tomcat-SSL_integration_and_DN-based_authentication This is a detailed and simple description of Tomcat SSL-integration and DN-based authentication without installing any of middleware components. This can be very useful to those who want to create web applications under Tomcat which will be used by different users that should have different access permissions to various structural parts of the application (just the specific roles or users can see/change parts of the application). Together with AEGIS01-PHY-SCL team I prepared SEE-GRID YAIM RPMs customization. Now all SEE-GRID YAIM customizations can be easily installed on all nodes through the glite-yaim-seegrid RPM. This is described and recommended in the SEE-GRID gLite-3 Guide http://wiki.egee-see.org/index.php/SG_GLITE-3_Guide In the future the customization will be available as RPM for each new release of glite-yaim-core package and for now RPMs are available at http://glite.phy.bg.ac.yu/GLITE-3/yaim/. A part from this, I was occupied with standard SEE-GRID operational activities. Major work for GD-OPS; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- - Preparing evaluation of my work at CERN http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=21636 - ROC on Duty for one week (July 30-August 3) - List of tickets that should be discussed at August 2 Morning meeting http://egee-docs.web.cern.ch/egee-docs/ROC_CERN/CERN-PROD_tickets/CERN-tickets-20070801.xls This month I wrote evaluation of my work at CERN which is available together with final version of document at http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=21636. I prepared list of week's CERN-PROD tickets to be discussed at August 2 Morning meeting (http://egee-docs.web.cern.ch/egee-docs/ROC_CERN/CERN-PROD_tickets/CERN-tickets-20070801.xls). Beside that I spent one week working as operator on duty at ROC CERN. Major issues arising -------------------- Major events attended (include links to event/presentation) --------------------- - WLCG-OSG-EGEE Operations meeting (July 30) http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=19531 - Morning meeting (August 2) - SAM weekly meetings - IT-GD-OPS weekly meetings Beside weekly SAM and IT-GS-OPS meetings I attended WLCG-OSG-EGEE Operations meeting on July 30 (http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=19531) and August 2 Morning meeting. Plans to attend/organize major events (intra-EGEE and others) ------------------------------------------------------------- For the next month I have in plan to attend SEE-GRID PSC meeting which will be held in Thessalonica. Holidays during the period ------------------------------------------------------------ No holidays TimeSheet for the month ------------------------------------------------------------ WP3 A3.1 100% Infrastructure status ------------------------------------------------------------ 30 of sites in project 12 of sites contributing to the EGEE production infrastructure 1005 of cpus 24.4TB total SE
