Setup Site BDII JM & EJ In Progress Software installed on grid-bdii.hpc.susx.ac.uk but not configured.
Setup CREAM CE JM & EJ In Progress Software installed on grid-cream-01.hpc.susx.ac.uk but not configured. Currently doing HEPSPEC06
Setup Glite-APEL JM & EJ In Progress Software installed on grid-apel.hpc.susx.ac.uk but not configured.
Setup Storage Element JM & EJ Not started Sorting out the storage will be left until the above 3 services are working. We will test the above by pointing at Oxford's storage, then once things seem ok will configure our own. We have an 81TB lustre system (which will be expanded over the coming months) so we will probably use storm to provide access to this to the grid. Chris Walker has experience of setting up storm for lustre so we will be trying to get some advice from him.
