Konstantin Skaburskas

Konstantin Skaburskas July, 2008 Major work for Health-e-Child; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- WP5/T5.2 40% (1-9 M) (13-42 M) - Support of HeC GW developers and HeC sites admins WP5/T5.6 05% (13-42 M) - Got new machine in CERN CC to install part of CERN1-Geneva-CH site. WP5/T5.7 05% (18-42 M) - Following up issue with VOMS config problem for HeC and VOMS replication. Developers say that problems fixed. Next step is to really try new fixes on HeC VOMS test servers. WP5/T5.8 25% (18-42 M) - Supported (on grid level) HeC live demo given at EGEE-II review. - provided some changes to respective parts of the chapter "Gridifying Biomedical Applications: Experiences of the Health-e-Child Project" (for the book "Computational Grid Technologies for Life Sciences, Biomedicine and Healthcare") to address comments by the book reviewers WP5/T5.9 00% (13-42 M) - WP14/T14.1 00% (13-42 M) - WP14/T14.2 25% (13-42 M) - HeC IGG is not in DMZ but behind static NATing. Due to this there was a problem with the site's external clients contacting gridftp on DPM. Problem resolved - now external clients are able to contact the gridftp on DPM. _NB!!! However, this creates problems for clients contacting GridFTP daemons from inside of the IGG site private network. This is very serious problem. WP14/T14.6 00% (18-42 M) - WP14/T14.7 00% (18-42 M) - Major work for "GD-OPS; GD-ITR"; major changes in workplan ---------------------------------------------------------------- OPS-SAM: - finalized SRMv2 set of tests and deployed on SAM Validation infra and presented the set of tests on WLCG Operations meeting - composed a plan to gradually move to a better set of Data Management tests (involved parties: SAM, GOCDB, GridView) - extension of SAM data-management related tests with timeouts on File Catalog and SEs - bugfixing of SAM submission framework, sensors and tests - made new release of SAM test for testing CAs on EGEE/WLCG - profiling of all SAM tests submitted from SAM Validation - SAM support - one week - inst/conf Nagios instance for CERN_PPS. This instance will be used as pilot for: * testing new approach to grid infra monitoring - site and ROC/NGI levels * development of new testing probes * proper scheduling of testing probes OPS-PPS: - helped Karolis to deploy SAM Portal and FCR for PPS Major issues arising -------------------- - CERN CC replaced previously assigned to HeC hardware with the new very powerful ones - but networking setup in CC does not allow for virtualisation of the boxes. Major events attended (include links to event/presentation) --------------------- - 09-10, July, HeC meeting in Tallinn. Plans to attend/organize major events (intra-EGEE and others) ------------------------------------------------------------- - Holidays during the period ------------------------------------------------------------ * days 1 - 11th of July. *TimeSheet for the month *30* ------------------------------------------------------------ WP5/T5.1 --% (1-6 M) DoWI WP5/T5.2 40% (1-9 M) (13-30 M) WP5/T5.3 --% (7-12 M) DoWI WP5/T5.4 --% (10-15 M) DoWI WP5/T5.5 --% (16-18 M) DoWI WP5/T5.6 05% (13-42 M) WP5/T5.7 05% (18-42 M) WP5/T5.8 25% (18-42 M) WP5/T5.9 00% (13-42 M) WP14/T14.1 00% (13-42 M) WP14/T14.2 25% (13-42 M) WP14/T14.3 --% (18-42 M) CERN 0% WP14/T14.4 --% (13-42 M) CERN 0% WP14/T14.5 --% (18-42 M) CERN 0% from DoW-III WP14/T14.6 00% (18-42 M) WP14/T14.7 00% (18-42 M) WP14/T14.8 --% (18-42 M) CERN 0% WP14/T14.9 --% (18-42 M) CERN 0%
