SLA validation for a VO configuration at a specific Resource Centre

Prerequirements

Before starting the validation phase, each VO should provide:

• the list of the RCs
• a non-empty Vo image list to be applied to cloud RCs (if any)
• a VO ID card with all the necessary information, in particular the VOMS server publishing the configuration information (Enrollment URL)

Testing OCCI server at a specific site with a specific VO

Create a VOMS proxy for the VO to be tested: 

[spinoso@ui test_cloud]$ voms-proxy-init -voms vo.nbis.se  --rfc
Enter GRID pass phrase for this identity:
Contacting voms2.grid.cesnet.cz:15033 [/DC=org/DC=terena/DC=tcs/C=CZ/ST=Hlavni mesto Praha/L=Praha 6/O=CESNET/CN=voms2.grid.cesnet.cz] "vo.nbis.se"...
Remote VOMS server contacted succesfully.
Created proxy in /tmp/x509up_u500.
Your proxy is valid until Thu Sep 01 23:10:35 CEST 2016

Get site OCCI endpoint from GOCDB:

1. site is TR-FC1-ULAKBIM
   
2. on GOCDB: https://goc.egi.eu/portal/index.php?Page_Type=Site&id=982
   
3. check for service eu.egi.cloud.vm-management.occi
   
4. value is http://fcctrl.ulakbim.gov.tr:8787/occi1.1?image=439e3478-df3f-4249-ac1b-28ae3933c09b&platform=openstack&resource=bc5ed503-c066-4d00-b99e-6bef76bcb732
   
5. "http://fcctrl.ulakbim.gov.tr:8787/occi1.1"

Export it in the BASH env:

[spinoso@ui test_cloud]$ export ENDPOINT="http://fcctrl.ulakbim.gov.tr:8787/occi1.1"

Perform OCCI access to the endpoint using a simple OCCI command, like:

[spinoso@ui test_cloud]$ /opt/occi-cli/bin/occi --endpoint $ENDPOINT --auth x509 --user-cred /tmp/x509up_u500 --voms --action describe --resource os_tpl

Dear Resource Centre, 

as per SLA: SLA_DOCUMENT_URL

you are kindly requested to check the configuration of the following VOs:
