2. ACTIVITY REPORT
2.1. Progress Summary
2.1.2. GARR
2.1.2. INFN
Migration activity
- The migration activity of the Sites is ongoing. The deprecation of the gLite3.1 services (lcg-CE, site-BDII, SRM) will be completed soon: 45 of the 38 sites contacted have already dismissed the corresponding services. The remaining ones are just tied to specific site/VO issues and will upgrade during September (October for DPM).
- The migration of all the services from glite3.2 to EMI is planned to happen by September, several sites are already upgrading their services or have moved directly from glite 3.1 to EMI.
Resource centers changes
- Five Resource centers are suspended (GRISU-COMETA-UNICT-DIIT, GRISU-COMETA-UNIPA, INFN-NAPOLI-CMS, SISSA-Trieste, SNS-PISA).
- Two Resource centere have been closed (GRISU-CYBERSAR-CAGLIARI, INFN-LNS).
- One Resource center changed its name (IGI-BOLOGNA, was INFN-CNAF).
- Two new Resource centers are under certification (CESIC-UNICAL, INAF-TS);
Core Grid services provided by NGI_IT have been upgraded to EMI-1 or EMI-2 (one LFC server is still gLite3.2 and will be upgraded in the next weeks).
IGI report generator tool
- The IGI report tool web interface has been improved to show statistics about a more exhaustive set of accounting metrics.
Moreover, it's now possible to obtain a report of more then one month, by selecting start and end months.
IGI portal
- IGI Portal (https://portal.italiangrid.it) is now accessible from all users of IDEM federation.
- We are developing a new plugin for the IGI portal, in order to make easier the data management task to the Grid end user.
- We are working on storage solution for providing storage services for scientific gateway
New core service
- AMGA catalog: an AMGA server has been installed and configured. Some tests have been carried out and the server is now available for Italian
communities.
- CVMFS: a CVMFS server is now available for SuperB community;
- CVMFS: a CVMFS server is under test to distribute software for some regional VOs;
National Certification Authority
- Improvements in the design of the IGI on line CA, preparation of the needed certificate profiles and setup of a first test environment with all the final elements foreseen in the architecture (CA,Myproxy server,public frontend etc..).
- Preparation of the CP/CPS document of the ROOT-CA and first rough draft of the CP/CPS document for the On Line CA.
- Test of the Hardware Security Module for the IGI online CA with the CA management software that will be used in the production system
2.2. Main Achievements
2.2.1. GARR
2.2.2. INFN
- The IGI report generator is a more powerful statistics tool.
- IGI Portal is now available to all users part of IDEM federation.
- An AMGA the server is now available for Italian communities.
- CVMFS server is now available for SuperB community.
- Partecipation Virtual team projects (National and International)
- VT MPI within EGI
- MPI-Multicore IGI group
- During the quarter, EAs performed SR activities for some grid components(LFC, WMS, CLUSTER, CREAM, STORM, VOMS, SAM)
- Contribution to the final version of the D4.4 deliverable "Security Risk Assessment of the EGI Infrastructure", in particular to the threats definition and risk evaluation.
2.3. Issues and mitigation
Issue Description | Mitigation Description |
