Alice would like to start using the CREAM CE in production. To do this, Alice has the following requirements on sites:
- Keep current LCG CE and install CREAM CE on another box.
- Install a 2nd VObox to point to the CREAM CE. VOBox can be in a virtual machine if the site is short of boxes.
- Point the CREAM CE to the standard Alice production queue.
- Need a GridFTP server somewhere on the site.
This request also presents another opportunity: Any sites that wish to support Alice with the CREAM CE
could also support the testing of the new ICE enabled WMS, simply by installing the latest version of the CREAM CE (available in the PPS repositories) rather then the version currently in the production repositories. Sites wishing to do this would also need to configure CMS as a VO on their site - no other action is needed on the part of the site.
Any sites who are interested should contact
occ-grid-support@cern.ch. Installation instructions for CREAM CE will be provided.
Alice would like to ask that all LCG tier-1s (which support the Alice VO) contribute to this task. Alice would also like to invite as many tier-2 sites as possible to join in.
