This is part of the core operations team activites
The task involves:
1. Tracking new VO requests across the Grid and specifically those affecting UK resource providers.
2. Maintaining the extracts and details at: http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/GridPP_approved_VOs.
3. Tracking the status and problems experienced by the VOs and raising issues to the weekly ops-team meeting - Site enablement problems - User issues
4. Providing (or coordinating) help and support to new VOs who require guidance on becoming grid enabled.
TODO list
* Good practice * For individual users of regional VOs * for medium sized VOs * An example data model - Use checksums - Custodial copies of data - Keep multiple copies for load sharing and resilience - Sending jobs to data - Catalogue synchronisation (Use LFC) - Sensible paths on storage
* VOMS - Resilience - Use of roles - Use of SaroNGS (aow obsolete)
* How to do stuff - Submitting jobs to data
* Job submission
* Ganga - Stuff for small VOs. * Dirac
Comments to Chris at HEPSYSMAN: - reliability - easy of use - future proofing - LHC VOs dictate directions (e.g. move to CREAM, away from LFC) - WLCG stack is not complete (holes for data management etc.) - Hidden features .... https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/VO_Services/Services_and_Tools_Portfolio (found via Diane Ganga) -- try not to lose portal and console developments in NGS (worked better with gram on CEs) -- free to support SARONGS in the UK - Had ngs for a long time but little real work submitted. Should NGS sites have UI point at GridPP WMSes? - Config changes break things inc. certificates. VO specific tests. What is Nagios support like for multi-VOs? - Manage VO expectations - Site admins need to be proactive -> raising VO issues to say TB-SUPPORT or proxy GGUS tickets - What about other solutions like boinc? - Typical use cases - should VOs define this when joining? - Repository of images for middleware. UI. Use of CVMFS. -- Observation of people taking up instructions (feedback). Config UI is complicated. Open UI? UI with GSI ssh route - but then who to support?
