Review of actions

  • Action 18: Porting to LSF will be done in early July.
  • Action 90: No update. Sylvain will dedicate one week to the testing when he is back from holidays.
  • Action 91: No update.
  • Action 92:
    • Resource Mgt: Thomas working on it. It works with make, they are modifying it to use autotools. He estimates 1 weeks to have it ready.
    • Gridification: Both the edg_gatekeeper and LCAS are autobuilt correctly with gcc3.2.2.
    • Fault Tolerance: The autobuild works now, the RPM is not produced yet, to be fixed.
  • Action 94: All the WP4 external APIs are now in a separate RPM. Piotr presented this information to the ATF and he didn’t get any comment. Action CLOSED.

 

New actions:

-

Institute reports:

  • German (CERN, Installation task):

Rudimentary version of VOMS module. POSIX module and POOL module are ready.

Release: end of June.

    • Porting to gcc3.2.2:

edg-gatekeeper and LCAS: OK

LCMAPS: to be tested (once it autobuilds)

  • Thomas (ZIB, resource mgt task): We continued working on gcc 3.2.2 compatibility, LCFG object for CE info provider and autotools packaging.
    • gcc3.2.2 is finished (but build currently fails due to switch to autotools. autotools works partly in our local environment, but not yet on the autobuild machine (would assume ~ 1PW to fix it).
    • LCFG object is ongoing (partly checked in), but local testing and some modifications still to be done (assume ~ 1-2 PW to finish).
    • PW distribution according to task plan:
      • 2.7 Resource Management System
      • 0.8 Information Providers
      • 0.5 Coordination
      • 0.0 Integration
  • Piotr (CERN, Configuration Mgt task):
    • 2.1.4 Scalability: delayed - no update
    • 2.1.5 CDB notification for sync: version 1.0 sent, we should have beta release this week.
    • 2.1.7 CDB SQL Server module: Lex working on beta release.
    • 2.1.6 CDB Server module for XML replication: Andy working on beta release.
  • Lord (Fault Tolerance task, Heidelberg):
    • 2.4.1: Finished
    • 2.4.2: Finish 07/03
    • 2.4.3: Not started, Configuration Management needed.
    • 2.4.4: Done
    • 2.4.5: Finished
    • 2.4.6: finish 15/07/03
    • 2.4.7: DELAYED, finish end of June

    • 2.4.15: delayed, finish second week of July.
    • 2.4.16: finished
    • 2.4.17: ongoing, the how to for creating rules and install the software on a node will be finished 06/03.
    • The delays are caused on the redesign of the subscription metric which is not listed above. It looks that we are 3 weeks behind schedule.
    • Due to the rescheduling of the FT+Fmon release, Lord will come to CERN to 20th of August to help with the integration.
  • Jan (CERN, Monitoring task):
    • MSA smoothing implemented, needs some testing
    • MR/Oracle focus on stability and performance
    • Following an evaluation period, CERN FIO (Fabric Infrastructure and Operations) group has decided to deploy the WP4 Fabric Monitoring Repository (with Oracle backend) for storage of the LCG1 fabric monitoring data at CERN. Data will be gathered on the client nodes using the WP4 Monitoring Sensor Agent.
