2. ACTIVITY REPORT
2.1. Progress Summary
2.2. Main Achievements
Glasgow - Further development of the IPv6 test cluster. Integration of test cluster into production test environment. Co-ordinated gLite 3.1 service updating. Also update the WMS setup, increasing VO support and additional hardware to handle higher loads. Worker node migration is the next big step to take. Some sites have moved and we are examining the outcomes, so that the NGI makes a phased transition. NA62 VO reached commenced production campaigns, which is a noteworthy milestone.
Imperial College - We have been busy getting rid of all our Glite nodes, including the CE's, APEL host and the two top-BDII's and repacing them with EMI versions. We have submitted two EMI-1 CREAM CE, two EMI-2 CREAM CE and one EMI WMS staged-rollout reports. We have been contributing to the ROD rota. We have continued to maintain and develop the 'state of the nation' web-pages (http://www.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk/~dbauer/grid/state_of_the_nation.html) tracking the roll out of EMI services in the UK.
