2. Main Achievements

Grid Oversight

ROD teams news letter

This quarter we have published a ROD teams newsletter in may and june. The rationale behind the newsletter is descibed in the QR4 report.

ROD session at EGI TF

We will organise a ROD teams session at the EGI TF in Lyon. We have come up with a programme that will be published on the web soon. In the ROD teams session

Procedures

We have proposed a change to the escalation procedure which entails the removal of an unnecessary step.

Tutorial Videos

The set of tutorial videos described in the QR4 report has been finished and may be found at: https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/Grid_operations_oversight/ROD

TPM

Nothing in particular to report on this task except that the change of TPM shift between the Italian and German TPM teams take place at the same local time (regardless of summer or winter time), at 14:00.

Network Support

Further testing of HINTS has been carried out both in France and in Italy. Probes have been installed in Bologna at INFN CNAF, in Rome at INFN Roma Tre and GARR; in Toulouse and Paris. A development server has been set up in Paris and a production one is located in Rome. The test of the system has started and feedback has been provided to the developers. This will improve the quality of the tool, including the documentation. Cross registration of probes between the French and Italian sites has been carried out. Participation of the EGI NetSup coordination team to the HEPiX IPv6 Working Group has been organized and the first 2 meetings have been attended. A brain storming session with GEANT3 PERT has been organized and basic ideas have come out for fruitful collaboration. They will be reported by a forthcoming short document.
