11:35 → 11:50 GridPP21

Agenda: http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/gridpp21/ - Deployment matters to follow up / discuss further -> Brain dump issues from memory (those that stuck are likely to be more urgent!) Examples: - SEs have not been significantly loaded with queries to date. Is there something we can do to prepare and if not how should we best monitor the changing situation? - Are users really aware of their local UIs and how to use them. What more can we do in this area. What are the Ganga5 defaults? - Can we list areas that are unprotected from a user surge? For example disk space (with out quotas) - How up-to-date are site middleware installations and are sysadmins aware of the baseline recommendations? - What are the upcoming issues for sites and how can we best schedule upgrades around the experiment grid use? For example on what timescale do sites wish to move to SL5 (only the WN distribution looks to be available). - What is the best route to ensure ALL users password protect ANY ssh keys that they are using? What checks can sites perform (ssh key add)

11:50 → 11:55 Deployment board

- Agenda: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=40300 - Areas to follow up -- Setting up of top-level BDIIs per T2 -- Checking and updating UI configurations -- Site and regional Nagios installations (required for regional-COD) -- Will a GridPP m/w repository be used/wanted by sites? How else can we protect against bad releases - back to the one site tries it first model!? -- Input for the security questionnaire being developed by Mingchao -- Can we run security checks against sites?
