2. ACTIVITY REPORT

2.1. Progress Summary

We have been working through non-standard new site certification in EGI with Sussex. We are about at the stage of being able to certify (see GGUS ticket 81784). We have put a new procedure in place for our helpdesks to improve response times with sites. We have started to investigate deploying a POEM enabled Nagios for the UK NGI monitoring framework.

2.2. Main Achievements

Glasgow gLite 3.1 upgrading continues apace - no site in the UK depends on a 3.1 service at this point. Tracking of this is on course get it all resolved by the September deadline. New VO (NA62) moved to production operation this quarter.|-

Manchester Alessandra has been an active member of the WLCG Operations TEG (Technical Evolution Group) whose mandate is to provide recommendations for the next 2-5 years on WLCG sites operations.

Alessandra's cooperation with DPM developers continues as part of the ATLAS testbed for development code, and her other DPM work:

Andrew has continued the design and development of the KeyDocs documentation monitoring system for GridPP national grid support activity.

The GridPP website with its wealth of documentation is maintained by Andrew in Manchester.

Andrew has worked with Robert Frank of NGS to re-integrate the NGS/GridPP VOMS service into the Tier-2 Centre in preparation for it being taken over by the HEP group with support from GridPP.
