Deployment
We are installing WLCG nodes and deployment instructions may be found on the OSG Networking pages. In the past large sites had two hosts, one for bandwidth tests and one for latency tests. In this refresh both tests run from one host using two NICs, each with its own FQDN. Details of how to configure this new dual-NIC configuration may be found on the OSG site here and in the official perfSONAR documentation. Please make sure to update the GOCDB if you change the names of the hosts. You can check basic operation of your hosts on the WLCG Check_MK service:
and also the UK dashboard here
With respect to the existing data, the WLCG installation guide states: "Local measurement archive backup is not needed as OSG/WLCG stores all measurements centrally. In case you'd like to perform the backup anyway please follow the migration guide."
