2. ACTIVITY REPORT
2.1. Progress Summary
During the reported quarter, all sites of NGI-DE maintained the Grid infrastructure running smoothly. Encountered problems related to e.g migration, cluster down etc. were solved on time. Security update was done by all sites and some sites were tested with the Security Service Challenge 5. Two sites, Uni-Siegen and Uni-Bonn, were fully recertified and back to production after a short suspending time for migration work. New hardware and storage were added to the infrastructure. NGI-DE monitoring and the ARC monitoring was updated to the latest version and hence supports now the Globus sites. The ROD shifts ran smoothly. Regional operation meeting was organized regularly, where operation problems were reported and discussed, experiences were exchanged, and events & updates were announced.
