Summary

TSA4.1 - Management

  • weekly report collation
  • TSA4.12 is consistently too late with handing in reports, i.e. missing the AMB reporting deadlines.

TSA4.2 - MOOC

bi-weekly reporting

TSA4.3 - Liferay

Progress
  • INFN finished work
  • SZTAKI finished work
  • CESNET continuing evaluation of the new version 6.2 of Liferay

TSA4.4 - OCCI for CMF

rOCCI-core
  • stable, released
rOCCI-api
  • feature freeze, testing & debugging
rOCCI-cli
  • feature freeze, testing & debugging
rOCCI-server
  • private instance deployed at CESNET, testing in progress
  • moving towards public beta (scheduled site downtime for new week,

for necessary soft. & infra. upgrades)

  • working on installation & configuration docs
ToDo for next week
  • finish basic tests and move on to interoperability testing
  • in parallel, continue working on the rOCCI framework
Problems
  • None
Delays
  • Still approx. one month (== Florian's contribution), no further delay

TSA4.5 - CDMI in CMF

Progress
  • release of the 0.1 alpha version
  • new deployments at CESNET, BSC
  • bugfixes from feedback
  • development of openstack support. Solving technical issues relating

to the single-threaded server + blocking openstack-swift library takes longer.

Plans for the next period
  • release of 0.2 version with bugfixes + openstack support
  • work on API GUI for stoxy
  • expansion of cdmi probe
  • following back on DESY status.
Problems we encounter, but can solve
  • 1.3 month delay caused by effort rescheduling

TSA4.6 - OCCI CompClouds

  • no report given

TSA4.7 - AppDeployment

bi-weekly reporting

TSA4.8 - CloudCapabilities

bi-weekly reporting

TSA4.9 - VAPOR

Progress
  • Fixed problem of too long delay in the computing of the white list of CEs.
  • Code cleanness: improvement of comments in the code, clean up of files and properties.
  • Started the development of the next Data Management feature: handling of dark data and lost files: develop a dump file script i.e. recursively list the content of an SE using the GFAL2-python API.
  • Fixed a long lasting issue of excessive failure rate on JobMonitor: several issues were found:
    • Wrong synchronisation of the machine due to ntp port blocked by firewall.
    • GridFTP ports blocked by firewall.
    • JSAGA generated proxy certificate issue.
    • JAVA 7 incompatibility: on version until Jdk7u5 will manage to generate a proxy certificate.
Plans for next period
  • Keep on the development of the handling of dark data and lost files: make a diff between LFC and SE files using SE and LFC file dumps.
  • Re-check the results of the JobMonitor against the Nagios alarms to see if JobMonitor does no longer fail where Nagios probes work (follow-up of the issue fixed during the last period).
Problems we encounter, but can solve

None.

Problems and issues we need external help with

None.
