Check the functionality of the grid elements

Be sure that the site's GIIS URL is contained in the Top level BDII/Information System your NGI will use for your certification.


Note that the examples here use the Italian NGI and sites. Please substitute YOUR OWN NGI and site credentials when running the test.

lcg-CE checks

Verify the authentication and authorization on the CE by running a simple command. i.e.

$ globus-job-run inaf-ce-01.ct.pi2s2.it /bin/hostname 

(you could also use: /usr/bin/whoami, or whatever you want!!)

Check if the lcg-CE gridftp server is working

$ globus-url-copy -dbg -v -vb file:/home/csys/goncalo/teste.txt gsiftp://ce02.lip.pt/tmp/txt
$ uberftp ce02.lip.pt


In case of pbs, check the WNs with the following command:

$ globus-job-run pbs-enmr.cerm.unifi.it /usr/bin/pbsnodes -a

Verify the functioning of the batch system: be careful that the queue you are querying really exists, and your VO is enabled on it. For example:

$ globus-job-run ce02.lip.pt:2119/jobmanager-fork /bin/pwd
$ globus-job-run ce-cyb.ca.infn.it/jobmanager-lcglsf -queue poncert /bin/pwd 

check dgas processes on CE (with a ps ax| grep dgas)

Cream-CE checks

Open your browser to

https://<hostname-of-cream-ce>:8443/ce-cream/services

A page with link to the CREAM WSDL should be shown

Try a gsiftp (e.g. using globus-url-copy or @uberftp@@) towards that CREAM CE. E.g.:

$ globus-url-copy gsiftp://<hostname-of-cream-ce>/opt/glite/yaim/etc/versions/ig-yaim file:/tmp/ig-version-test  

Try the following command:

$ glite-ce-allowed-submission <<hostname-of-cream-ce>>:8443 

It should report:

Job Submission to this CREAM CE is enabled  

Try a submission to Cream-CE using the glite-ce-job-submit command, e.g.:

$ /bin/cat sleep.jdl 
 
[ 
executable="/bin/sleep"; 
arguments="1"; 
] 
$ glite-ce-job-submit -a -r <hostname-of-cream-ce>:8443/<queue> test.jdl  
$ glite-ce-job-submit -a -r ce-cr-02.ts.infn.it:8443/cream-lsf-cert sleep.jdl 
https://ce-cr-02.ts.infn.it:8443/CREAM127814374

Check the status of that job, which eventually should be DONE-OK

$ glite-ce-job-status https://ce-cr-02.ts.infn.it:8443/CREAM127814374
2010-07-27 11:55:37,986 WARN - No configuration file suitable for loading. Using built-in configuration

******  JobID=[https://ce-cr-02.ts.infn.it:8443/CREAM127814374]
       Status        = [DONE-OK]
       ExitCode      = [0]

Try a submission to that CE using the glite-ce-job-submit command, and then tries to cancel it (using the glite-ce-job-cancel command)

$ /bin/cat sleep2.jdl 
 
[ 
executable="/bin/sleep"; 
arguments="1000"; 
] 
$ glite-ce-job-submit -a -r cecream-cyb.ca.infn.it:8443/cream-lsf-poncert sleep2.jdl
https://cecream-cyb.ca.infn.it:8443/CREAM126335182
$ glite-ce-job-cancel https://cecream-cyb.ca.infn.it:8443/CREAM126335182
$ glite-ce-job-status https://cecream-cyb.ca.infn.it:8443/CREAM126335182
2010-07-27 12:18:26,973 WARN - No configuration file suitable for loading. Using built-in configuration

******  JobID=[https://cecream-cyb.ca.infn.it:8443/CREAM126335182]
       Status        = [CANCELLED]
       ExitCode      = []
       Description   = [Cancelled by user]

ARC CE checks

A first test can be done using ARC's ngstat command:

$ export X509_USER_PROXY=/etc/nagios/globus/userproxy.pem-ops
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/nordugrid/lib64:/opt/nordugrid/lib
$ /opt/nordugrid/bin/ngstat -q -l -c <CE hostname> -t 20
...
... plenty of output
...

If a monitoring host of your NGI is available, then the probes can easily be executed from there:

Check the status of the CE with:

$ /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/org.ndgf/ARCCE-status -H <CE hostname> -x /etc/nagios/globus/userproxy.pem-ops
Status is active

Test gsiftp:

$ /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/org.ndgf/ARCCE-auth -H <CE hostname> -x /etc/nagios/globus/userproxy.pem-ops
gsiftp OK

Test the versions of the CA's:

$ /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/org.ndgf/ARCCE-caver -H <CE hostname> -x /etc/nagios/globus/userproxy.pem-ops
version = 1.38 - All CAs present

Check the versions of ARC and Globus:

$ /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/org.ndgf/ARCCE-softver -H <CE hostname> -x /etc/nagios/globus/userproxy.pem-ops
nordugrid-arc-0.8.3.1, globus-5.0.3

Copy a file:

$ /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/org.ndgf/ARCCE-gridftp -H <CE hostname> -x /etc/nagios/globus/userproxy.pem-ops
Job finished successfully

Submit a test job:

$ /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/org.ndgf/ARCCE-jobsubmit -H <CE hostname> --vo ops -x /etc/nagios/globus/userproxy.pem-ops
Job submission successful

Check the LFC:

$ /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/org.ndgf/ARCCE-lfc -H <CE hostname> -x /etc/nagios/globus/userproxy.pem-ops
Job finished successfully

Check the SRM:

$ /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/org.ndgf/ARCCE-srm -H <CE hostname> -x /etc/nagios/globus/userproxy.pem-ops
Job finished successfully

Before continuing, you may want to make sure that the probes for all services which the CE intends to offer, do actually succeed.

SE checks

check if gridftp server on SE works:

$ uberftp inaf-se-01.ct.pi2s2.it 

For STORM SE: check if SRM client works (on the published information you can find the right port to use)

$ /opt/storm/srm-clients/bin/clientSRM ping -e httpg://sunstorm.cnaf.infn.it:8444
============================================================
Sending Ping request to: httpg://sunstorm.cnaf.infn.it:8444
============================================================
Request status:
  statusCode="SRM_SUCCESS"(0)
  explanation="SRM server successfully contacted"
============================================================
SRM Response:
  versionInfo="v2.2"
  otherInfo (size=2)
    [0] key="backend_type"
    [0] value="StoRM"
    [1] key="backend_version"
    [1] value="<FE:1.5.0-1.sl4><BE:1.5.3-4.sl4>"
============================================================


Try to write on SE. Be sure your UI is pointing to an IS the SE is contained in (you may use your certification BDII)

1) Setting a top-bdii that is publishing the SE you have to test

$ export LCG_GFAL_INFOSYS=<TopBDII hostname>:2170

2) Copy a file from the local filesystem to the SE, registering it in the LFC. This command output will return a SURL that you can use latter for other tests.

A SURL is a path of the type: srm://srm01.ncg.ingrid.pt/ibergrid/iber/generated/2011-02-01/file4034a935-8d7a-48f4-914f-16f2634d4802

$ lcg-cr -v --vo <VO> -d <Your SE> -l lfn:/grid/<VO>/test.txt file:</path/to/your/local/file> 

3) Create a new replica in other SE (to check the 3rd party transfer between 2 SEs)

$ lcg-rep -v --vo <VO> -d <Other SE> <SURL> 

4) List Replicas

$ lcg-lr -v --vo <VO> lfn:/grid/<VO>/test.txt 

5) Delete all replicas

$ lcg-del -v --vo <VO> -a <guid>

Job submission

Submit a test job to either lcg-CE or Cream-CE through the WMS, i.e. using the glite-wms-job-submit command. In case, submit a mpi test job. The NGI_IT certification WMS is gridit-cert-wms.cnaf.infn.it

Registration into 1st level HLR

NOTE: this step is needed if your infrastructure uses DGAS as accounting system

After the site entered in production, it needs to register the site resources in the hlr. Ask the site-admins to open a ticket towards the hlr adminstrators, passing them the following information:

  • grid queues names, in the form:
    • gridit-ce-001.cnaf.infn.it:2119/jobmanager-lcgpbs-cert
  • not-grid queues names, in the form:
    • hostname:queue
  • Name, surname ad certificate subject of each site-admin
  • Certificate subject of Computing Element

Eventually, the site-admins have to open a ticket to DGAS support unit asking to enable the forwarding of accounting data from the 2° level hlr to APEL

Certification Job

The test job checks several things, like the environment on WN and installed rpms. Moreover it performs some replica management tests. With a "grep TEST" you may get a summary of the results: in case of errors, you have to see in detail what is gone wrong!

As already said, if the site supports any flavour of mpi, launch a mpi test job, like this

don't forget to set a reasonable value in CPUNumber: most important is that your job starts running quickly

If you want less stuff in the .out and .err files, in the file mpi-start-wrapper.sh comment the line

export I2G_MPI_START_DEBUG=1 

A successful output will look like the following one (extract)

[...] 
mpi-start [DEBUG  ]: using user supplied startup : '/opt/mpich-1.2.7p1/bin/mpirun ' 
mpi-start [DEBUG  ]: => MPI_SPECIFIC_PARAMS=
