SKA Regional Centre

GridPP is supporting the establishment of a European Regional Centre for SKA by providing resources for prototyping and evaluation studies. Most of this work is using the skatelescope.eu VO and the GridPP DIRAC service.

• VO Incubator entry
• skatelescope.eu VO ID Card and VOMS server
• GridPP DIRAC SAM for skatelescope.eu shows site-by-site status for skatelescope.eu DIRAC jobs.

Storage Elements

These GridPP DIRAC storage elements are accepting data from the skatelescope.eu VO:

Supporting softdrive.nl

For tests using the LOFAR data and applications, it is necessary to add softdrive.nl to cvmfs. This script fragment is used within the GridPP DIRAC VMs to add softdrive.nl . It will work on worker nodes by hand for testing, and can provide the basis for adding it to a site's normal Puppet, Ansible etc configuration:

 cat <<EOF >/etc/cvmfs/config.d/softdrive.nl.conf
