Production & other services in D/CH

• production service– FZK

4.2 Million user hours, 1.5 Million Jobs in 2004 65% of resources used by non-LHC (BaBar, CDF, Dzero, Compass) 35% of resources used for contributions to LCG DCs (partly via LCG)

– DESY running Monte Carlo simulations for ZEUS in collaboration with 22 sites, 1800 CPUs, 100 Mio

events simulated H1 preparing MC production as well

– FhG/SCAI users run applications for BioMed & ESR

• pre-production service at FZK– LCG 2.3.0 under SLC3; moving to LCG 2.4.0, then gLite

• prototype service (testbed) at FZK– installation of gLite for demo together with GSI

• Global Grid User Support GGUS at FZK– see talk by Torsten Antoni

• rotating mw installation support in D/CH– FZK (Apr – Aug’04)– FhG/SCAI (Sept, Oct’04)– DESY (Nov – Jan’05)– To be re-organized; see further transparancies

Organisational Matters

• Current most important SA1 Documents:– “User Registration and VO Membership Management Requirements”

Procedures for registration of new users

– “Site Registration Policy & Procedure”; Doc 503198 Procedures for registration of new sites within EGEE

– “EGEE Operations Manual” The basis for problem solving and daily support work

• Deliverables– DSA1.4: "assessment of initial infrastructure operation & plan for next

12 months" Due by end of March; written by R.Rummler (IN2P3); based on information

about the current infrastructure and operations, and main input from ROCs taken from QRs

• Next Meetings & Conferences– 17-18 March: All ROC Managers Meeting (ARM-3) in Lyon

Any input for D/CH? Pse contact Sven

– 18-22 April: 3rd EGEE Conference in Athens Any input for D/CH? Pse contact Holger & Sven

Open Issues SA1

• Accounting info in GOC DB is essential for the project– Currently only 4 sites in D/CH provide data (DESY, FhG SCAI, GSI

Dteam only, U Wuppertal) • Certification of new sites is a project target according to TA

– How many of them can we certify and support?– How to organize this?

• 24x7 operations is a project target according to TA– How to organize this in a distributed ROC? Do we have the manpower?

• SA1 Web pages– Have been updated by FZK. Any further input for D/CH?

• mw releases– LCG 2.3.1 available (security updates!)– LCG 2.4.0 planned for April’04– Needs a rollout plan for D/CH.

• General Problems:– Monitoring web pages not very stable– Information on available storage inconsistent

Open Issues SA1 Support

• ROC Operations Support D/CH– Handle tickets created in CERN/Savannah– FZK did this from 17-nov-04 to 27-feb-05, now FhG SCAI– Planned: CERN/Savannah to be moved to GGUS/Web-Service. Until then:

Create contact Mail “ROC-on-duty” with auto-forward to support group Support group changes every two weeks

• General EGEE 2nd Level Support– Requested by Alistair Mills (Executive Support Committee)

To have a last resort for Tickets that didn‘t find a support group To set up the GGUS knowledge base To ensure that all problems are attacked To learn more about distributed support work flow in EGEE Flexible instead of formal procedure: solve ticket or find a „guru“

– How to handle this request for D/CH?
