Question 1: Deployment of platforms
Grid software is being provided for multiple OS platforms. For example, the number of supported platforms will increase with EMI 2.0 (Spring 2012): in EMI 2.0 it is expected that all products will be released for sl6, and a subset also for Debian.
EGI operations need to review the list of early adopter sites, to make sure that staged rollout resources are allocated for testing of software on the platforms of interest.
All Resource infrastructure Providers are requested to consult with their site managers to define their priorities. Please define your deployment priorities of sl6 and Debian for 2012 for products released by EMI (ARC, dCache, gLite, UNICORE) and IGE (Globus) by replying to questions in the following table.
NGI/EIRO | SL6
Are your sites insterested in installing some EGI and/or IGE components on sl6-based distributions? If so, which components? in how many sites? |
Debian
Are you insterested in installing some EGI and/or IGE components on Debian-based distributions? If so, which components? in how many sites? |
Other distributions
Specify if you are interested in installation of EGI and/or IGE components on other platforms and if so, which components in how many sites |
Example: NGI_ZZ | dCache, DPM, and EMI WN (4 sites) | EMI UI (10 sites) | no |

Question 2: Deployment of virtual images
EGI SA2 is deploying a new Market Place based on StratusLab. The new Market Place will include different Virtual Machines with different middleware services ready to be used, verified and tested by SA2 team. Is your NGI willing to use the new service to download and use pre-installed VMs from the marketplace?
NGI/EIRO | YES/NO | Services
If you replied yes, in which service images are you interested in? eg. User Interfaces (emi-UI), Storage, Job Submission (WMS), Compute Elements (Cream/unicore/arc), etc. |
