Description
Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe is one of the largest science and engineering research
institutions in Europe. The resource centre GridKa as part of this science centre is
building up a Tier 1 centre for the LHC project. Embedded in the European grid
initiative EGEE, GridKa also manages the ROC (regional operation centre) for the
German Swiss region. The management structure of the ROC and its integration into the
regional operation is explained. By discussing existing and future tools for
operating and monitoring the grid, the development of a robust grid infrastructure in
the German Swiss region will be shown. Experience in operating the grid from the view
of a Tier 1 centre and as a regional operation centre is summarized with respect to
integration of grid tools in the German Swiss federation. In addition the progress to
build a stable grid infrastructure in our region of about 13 resource centres is
pointed out taking into account the new support structures. The start of the support
workflow can be a user specific problem as well as a problem detected by regularly
performed general site functional tests. Different views of the regional grid
structure will be highlighted.
