MDM update
----------
MoU signed by all the parties
Deployment: NL-T1 De-KIT ES-PIC IN2P3 almost completed
CERN: Server will be delivered the 27/4
LHCOPN perfsonar MDM portal in developing.
- http://lhcopn-mdm.geant2.net/portal
- Authentication via National Identity Provider and GIDP
- ProjectMemeberships = LHCOPN
- Project Specific Role = LHCOPN-operator
- Contact your national Identity provider (they will contact service.support@geant2.net and the Tier1) to get an account
Hopefully all the MDM will be deployed for June.
Geant3 con provide training on the system
COMMENTS:
- Some concerns on the reliability and usability of the E2EMON
- Not clear strategy about Tier2s. Spain is trying something with the Internet2 Perfsonar LiveCD
GN3 UPDATE
OPERATIONS
----------
Ticketing system released and used. 66 tickets during the trial.
Two training sessions done, at CERN and Fermilab. 8 Tier sites attended.
Lot of feedback: procedures were reviewed and simplified.
Twiki documentation and access need to be improved.
GGUS ticketing system: many fixing and improvement during the trial, currently in a good shape. Issue with time zones.
OPs WG: not many Tier attending.
Key Performance Indicators: not defined yet
OPs: regular conference call every 3 months. Time unclear.
Service challenge at the end of May. BAckup tests should happen before it.
Pre-production mode is going to start now.
Next OPs WG meetings will be before LHCOPN meetings.
USLHCNET UPDATE
---------------
Ciena bug solved, back to the production setup (all links connected to Cienas)
Will have six transatlantic link for Q3 2009
All Ciena will be upgraded to bigger chassis.
NL-T1 UPDATE
------------
Now happily use Juniper MX routers to manage several OPN
SURFNET UPDATE
--------------
Crucial entity for networking and research in Netherlands
NETWORK DEPENDENCIES
--------------------
A DNS cache server in the LHCOPN address space can solve DNS dependencies.
But there are other dependencies. Not everything worked when the Internet was done.
QoS FOR T1-T0 TRAFFIC
---------------------
T0-T1 traffic will be prioritized at T0 over any other traffic.
ACTIONS
-------
- Otto: organize training about the MDM for the Tier sites
- PIC/Rediris may report on their experience of Tier2 monitoring
- Esnet will report on their strategy of Tier2 monitoring
- Edoardo: improve backup test report tables. Last resort internet backup should be checked too.
- Improve/update/review Twiki documentation
- Everyone: start the pre-production period of the operations
- Wayne: organize Periodic Conference Calls
- Everyone: find a representative for the Ops conference Call
- Nordunet will report on their dCache and lightpath provisioning solution
- Edoardo: prioritize T0-T1 traffic on CERN routers
Next meeting:
31 august, 1st september Vancouver or Fermilab
