RAL egi.eu CVMFS

CernmVM-FS Stratum 0 for EGI VOs

Note: This is a draf6t!!!

RAL Tier-1 is currently hosting the egi.eu CernVM-FS Stratum-0 v2.1 repositories. All former *.gridpp.ac.uk Stratum-0 repositories ( see RALnonLHCCVMFS) have been migrated as *.egi.eu repositories.

The new egi.eu CVMFS domain is configurable now via the cvmfs-keys RPM (https://ecsft.cern.ch/dist/cvmfs/cvmfs-keys/cvmfs-keys-1.5-1.noarch.rpm) which is used by the WLCG sites to configure the cern.ch CVMFS domain.

The Stratum-0 egi.eu repositories are replicated by the dedicated EGI CernVM-FS Stratum-1 server located at RAL and few others located elsewhere in the world.

Setting up a site to access EGI VOs CernVM-FS repositories located at RAL

Assuming that your site is already supporting CernVM-FS (client v2.1.19 or higher) for LHC VOs, you need only to update the cvmfs-keys RPM to the latest version (https://ecsft.cern.ch/dist/cvmfs/cvmfs-keys/cvmfs-keys-1.5-1.noarch.rpm)

Another requirement is that the site local squid(s) are configured to access the following the stratum-1 servers: cvmfs-egi.gridpp.rl.ac.uk, klei.nikhef.nl, cvmfs-s1bnl.opensciencegrid.org, cvmfs-s1fnal.opensciencegrid.org, cvmfsrep.grid.sinica.edu.tw.
