| + | * VO updates: |
| + | ** LIGO issue looked like DNS resolution issue. Sam following up this week. Noted DIRAC errors truncated. Suggested trying non-IC disk. Tom reported: CERN@school-enabled disks - QMUL-disk, GLASGOW-disk and LIVERPOOL-disk worked on every network tried with various instances of the GridPP CernVM with the DIRAC UI installed... so issue elsewhere. |
| + | ** LZ: Andy W: Met Paolo (Edinburgh) from LZ to walk through the basics (in parallel with LZ computing on the Grid being established). AW joined the GridPP VO to assist. |
| + | * Friday WMS issue?: svr024.gla.scotgrid.ac.uk has been removed from Nagios configuration. Only very few CE's are in unknown state now and it will be back to normal in next round of tests. |

| |
− | ** [http://conf2015.egi.eu/ EGI conference in Lisbon 18-22 May].
| |
− | * FedCloud
| |
− | ** No stable monitoring tests. Proposal to create a new CLOUD-MON_CRITICAL (inc. eu.egi.cloud.APEL-Pub; eu.egi.cloud.OCCI-VM ...).
| |
− | ** New sites IN2P3-IRES (FR) and NCG-INGRID-PT (PT). 2 others in process.
| |
− | ** EGI to provide capacity to instantiate virtual machines to run the computational tasks (on earth observation datasets) generated by the users of the ESA funded Terradue for the development of the e-Collaboration for Earth Observation (e-CEO) platform.
| |
− | **Auger moving to production on FedCloud.
| |
− | * EGI CSIRT
| |
− | ** Concern about effort going into perfSONAR issues (cacti; web interface; shellshocked...)
| |
− | ** CRITICAL CVE handling. Want EGI CSIRT hook into site re-certification by NGIs.
| |
− | ** Have no way to probe specific WNs. Proposed pakiti client run manually. (More UK feedback given).
| |
− | ** EGI-CSIRT got reviewed by TI and certified according to maturity parameters. Looking to run review on sites/NGIs.
| |
− | * UMD support for SL5/SL6
| |
− | ** Torque 4.2 is not backward compatible to 2.5.7. Update not recommended. Move to Torque 2.5.13 (patched by SVG) using AppDB repositoy with highest priority.
| |
− | ** SL5 support alligned with RHEL5. In "Maintenance" until March 31, 2017 ... but >80% sites not using it anyway and some sites on SL7 + struggling with MW deployment.
| |
− | ** Supporting CentOS7 in UMD requires to schedule the end of support of SL5 in UMD.
| |
− | ** EPEL7/CentOS7: 13 products are ready for EPEL7.
| |
− | ** No move from SL5 campaign foreseen.
| |
− | ** 60% of cloud sites base their cloud infrastructure on RHEL-compat distribution. Most of these are Ubuntu.
| |
− | ** Proposal: UMD4: September 2015. Decommissioning of SL5: March 2016.
| |
− | * ARGO Central Monitoring
| |
− | ** Deploy test central instance in May. Review results in June.
| |
− | ** High availability instances deployment in July (Croatia and Greece). Monitor during August.
| |
− | ** Switch A/R engine in September.
| |
− | ** Decommission NGI instances October 2015 (they can still be run for local alarms).
| |
− | * EGI Strategy Summary
| |
− | ** See document. Basically: Expand cloud. Push 'commons' and open platforms.
| |
− | ** "Consider open science as a production and dissemination system that needs integrated, easy and fair access to several types of shared resources (physical, digital, intellectual), engaged communities that contribute to the process and collaborates in the management and stewardship of the resources, a suitable governance with rules to allow/exclude access, to resolve conflicts, and finally financial support for the long-term availability".
