Please reply to both Question 1 and Question 2.

DEADLINE for reply: 20 March 2012

Back to the operations survey main page.

Question 1: Deployment of platforms

Grid software is being provided for multiple OS platforms. For example, the number of supported platforms will increase with EMI 2.0 (Spring 2012): in EMI 2.0 it is expected that all products will be released for sl6, and a subset also for Debian.

EGI operations need to review the list of early adopter sites, to make sure that staged rollout resources are allocated for testing of software on the platforms of interest.

All Resource infrastructure Providers are requested to consult with their site managers to define their priorities. Please define your deployment priorities of sl6 and Debian for 2012 for products released by EMI (ARC, dCache, gLite, UNICORE) and IGE (Globus) by replying to questions in the following table.


NGI/EIRO SL6

Are your sites insterested in installing some EGI and/or IGE components on sl6-based distributions? If so, which components? in how many sites?

Debian

Are you insterested in installing some EGI and/or IGE components on Debian-based distributions? If so, which components? in how many sites?

Other distributions

Specify if you are interested in installation of EGI and/or IGE components on other platforms and if so, which components in how many sites

Example: NGI_ZZ dCache, DPM, and EMI WN (4 sites) EMI UI (10 sites) no
Armenia
Belarus We (4 sites) are interested in SL6 versions of all components. We (4 sites) are interested in a Debian/Ubuntu based WN/UI no plans
Bulgaria
Bosnia H.
CERN
Croatia No plans for upgrade to SL6 in 2012. No plans to deploy services on Debian. We use CentOS distribution on all sites. The top priority for us is to have official support for CentOS.
Cyprus No plans for upgrade to SL6 in 2012. No plans No plans
Czech Rep. Yes, all major services are running on SL* machines, SL6 is interested. Yes, there is interest in a Debian based WN. Server support for Debian would be welcomed, however, without better information we don't have concrete plan. No plans
Denmark
Finland All 10 clusters but one are already SL6 based, ARC is currently installed from the NorduGrid repo. DPM and SAM Nagios are on SL5 until they can be migrated. No plans for Debian, except for clients. No plans
France
Georgia No plans No plans No plans
Germany we are interested in all EMI components for SL6. As we already have most components running at SL. no plans no plans
Greece
Hungary Migration from SL5 to SL6 for all components planned when stable releases arrive (1 site) ARC InfoSys (1 site) ARC CE, ARC clients (2 sites), Redhat Linux 5.6, Suse Linux 11
Ibergrid (Portugal, Spain) All sites are interested in having ALL local middleware components (CREAM, SEs (DPM, STORM, DCACHE), APEL, SITE-BDII, UI, WNs, GLEXEC, ARGUS and LRMS_UTILS) supported in SL6. There is some special emphasis on clients (UIs and WNs) so that is where the support work should start.

The sites which manage core services also want core services supported in SL6 with special emphasis on WMS, TopBDII, VOMS and LFC

Only one site show interest in having middleware components supported in Debian/Ubuntu There seems to be idea that CentOS is better supported that SL (reacts fasters to new kernel releases and to security issues) and some sites have some services deployed in CentOS. I would mark this as "good to have".
IGALC
Ireland Plan to run some WNs on SL6 in 2012 at one site. When installing new services / releases of other services we will consider SL6. No plans No plans
Israel
Italy There is high interest in gLite components on Sl6, WN and UI with high priority (survey sent to all Italian sites (54), 22 responses received.) there is low interest in gLite components on debian (four site), starting from WN and UI (survey sent to all Italian sites (54), 22 responses received.) there is low interest in gLite components on other platform (one site): the platform is SUSE (survey sent to all Italian sites (54), 22 responses received.)
Latvia
Lithuania
FYR of Macedonia
Moldova
Montenegro No plans for upgrade to SL6 in 2012 No plans   No plans  
Netherlands We are interested in SL6 versions of all components There is interest in a Debian/Ubuntu based WN/UI no
Norway
Poland All biggest sites (5) are interested in SL6 versions of gLite components. For UNICORE components all sites express interest in SL6 version (seems nothing SL-specific is needed than just CentOS 6). No plans No plans
ROC Canada
ROC Latin America
Romania
Russia
Serbia We are interested in SL6 versions of all components (all sites). There is an interest for Debian/Ubuntu based UI (large number of Grid users). No plans.
Slovakia
Slovenia
Sweden Upgrade from SL5 to SL6 likely on one site Ubuntu in use at one site 4 sites currently use Centos5
South Africa
Switzerland CREAM-CE, DCACHE, WN, GLEXEC, DPM servers/clients, site-bdii, glite-UI, ARC CE/ARC client. With lower priority ARGUS, VOBOX, NAGIOS, APEL, CLUSTER. YES. Components needed: ARC client and A-REX server. GridFTP server. DPM disk servers on Solaris. We have some, but the support is not assured.
Turkey All major services and sites are configured on SL and we are interested with the components on SL6: CreamCE, DPM server/disk,WN, site-bdii, gLite-UI. The other services like VOMS, WMS, LFC_mysql, Nagios, top-BDII with lower priority. No plans No plans
United Kingdom
Asia Pacific
Ukraine We are interested in SL6 versions of all components of EMI (ARC A-REX, dCache, CREAM CE, gLExec, WMS, Nagios, WN, UI, DPM, StoRM). Some sites are insterested in Debian/Ubuntu based WN/UI. CentOS 5 & 6 (~10 sites), Ubuntu Server (1 site) and Fedora (3 sites).

Question 2: Deployment of virtual images

EGI SA2 is deploying a new Market Place based on StratusLab. The new Market Place will include different Virtual Machines with different middleware services ready to be used, verified and tested by SA2 team. Is your NGI willing to use the new service to download and use pre-installed VMs from the marketplace?

NGI/EIRO YES/NO Services

If you replied yes, in which service images are you interested in? eg. User Interfaces (emi-UI), Storage, Job Submission (WMS), Compute Elements (Cream/unicore/arc), etc.

Example: NGI_ZZ YES EMI UI
Armenia
Belarus
Bulgaria
Bosnia H.
CERN
Croatia No
Cyprus
Czech Rep.
Denmark
Finland NO Not at this stage, but we will investigate it further.

Germany Yes UI, site-bdii, cream-ce
Greece
Hungary Yes CREAM CE, WN, UI, DPM
Ibergrid (Portugal, Spain)
IGALC

Israel
Italy there is interest/curiosity on VM but... the provided images should be locally managed by a different cloud infrastructure (i.e. we would use the marketplace but not install the StratusLab stack).

Norway
Poland No
