CASE 1. If an Operations Centre is already represented within the EGI Council we recommend that the Operations Centre political representative within the EGI Council notifies the EGI Chief Operations Officer that the respective Operations Centre is entering its validation cycle. At this point, technical validation can start.  
CASE 1. If the organizaiton running an Operations Centre is already represented within the EGI Council, the respective council member notifies the Director (director@egi.eu) and the Service Deploy team of the EGI Foundation (operations@mailman.egi.eu) that the respective Operations Centre is entering its validation cycle. At this point, tne technical validation can start.  


CASE 2. If an Operations Centre is not represented within the EGI Council, and it is willing to be represented there, the Operations Centre needs to submit a request for admission to the Council. After the Operations Centre has been accepted by the Council, CASE 1 applies.
CASE 2. If the organization running an Operations Centre is not represented within the EGI Council, director@egi.eu has to be contacted formalize the collaboration (e.g. through a EGI membership or MoU). When the type of collaboration is agreed, CASE 1 applies.  
 
CASE 3. If a new Operations Centre is not represented within the EGI Council and is not interested in being part of it, but would still like to be a consumer of the EGI Global Services, then an MoU must be established with EGI. Once an MoU is in place technical validation can start.

Owner Matthew Viljoen


Overview

The purpose of this document is to clearly describe actions and relative steps to be undertaken for integrating an Operations Centre into the EGI operational structure.

Definitions

The Integration Process Coordinator (IPC) is the entity responsible for integrating a new Operations Centre within EGI.

Please refer to the EGI Glossary for the definitions of the terms used in this procedure.

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", “MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

Validation

First step for validating an Operations Centre is to be politically approved as formed from an official partner of the EGI infrastructure.

After this step, the Operations Centre needs to be technically validated. The Operations team is responsible for performing this validation.

Political Validation

CASE 1. If the organizaiton running an Operations Centre is already represented within the EGI Council, the respective council member notifies the Director (director@egi.eu) and the Service Deploy team of the EGI Foundation (operations@mailman.egi.eu) that the respective Operations Centre is entering its validation cycle. At this point, tne technical validation can start.

CASE 2. If the organization running an Operations Centre is not represented within the EGI Council, director@egi.eu has to be contacted formalize the collaboration (e.g. through a EGI membership or MoU). When the type of collaboration is agreed, CASE 1 applies.

Technical Validation

  1. The EGI Foundation Director informs operations@mailman.egi.eu about the agreed partnership. The IPC is appointed by the Service Delivery Lead. The Operations Centre Operations manager(s) is notified about the IPC contact.
  1. The EGI Service Delivery team opens a GGUS ticket to the IPC to start the validation process.

Start of the integration

  • The integration of a new Operations Centre starts when the Service Delivery Team opens an Operations Centre validation ticket to the IPC (via GGUS).
  • Once the ticket is filed, the IPC can start the validation process. In order to trigger the actions described in this document the IPC creates a set of new child tickets that are assigned to the individual partners that are responsible for the various validation steps. Thereby, the integration process should be as transparent as possible to all parties involved. The required actions are described below.


An example/template for the Operations Centre creation ticket is provided here:

Subject: Creation of <Operations Centre name>


Required information for the creation of the Operations Centre:
Management mailing list : management@xxx.org
Operations Centre Operations manager contact data : Person Surname (email) +phone contact,
Deputy: Person Surname (email) +phone contact,

Operations Centre security officer contact data : Person Surname (email) +phone contact,
Operations Centre security mailing list : abuse@xxx.org

ROD team mailing list : ngi-support@xxx.org
Operations Centre nagios monitoring system details : https://mon-ngi.xxx.org/nagios
Mailing list for GGUS tickets if using GGUS directly : xxxticket@xxx.org

The FAQ document for the Operations Centre provided by the GGUS team as described in [[GGUS:FAQ_Responsible_Units]] 

Pre-requisites

Before opening an Operations Centre creation GGUS ticket, the Operations Centre should:

  1. Make sure your operational organization is able to fulfil Resource Provider (RP) OLA https://documents.egi.eu/secure/ShowDocument?docid=463
  2. Decide about the Operations Centre name. In case of national European Operations Centres, the name should start with "NGI_"
  3. Decide whether to use the Operations Centre's own help desk system or use GGUS directly. If the Operations Centre wants to set up their own system they need to provide an interface for interaction to GGUS with the local ticketing system and follow the recommendations available at https://ggus.eu/pages/ggus-docs/interfaces/docu_ggus_interfaces.php.
  4. Set the following contact points:
    1. Management mailing list
    2. Operations Centre operations manager contact data
    3. Operations Centre security officer contact data
    4. Operations Centre security mailing list
    5. ROD team mailing list (including people responsible for monitoring and supporting the Operations Centre infrastructure)
    6. Mailing list for GGUS tickets IF GGUS is used directly for the helpdesk system
  5. All certified Operations Centre sites need to be monitored by ARGO monitoring infrastructure operated centrally by EGI.
  6. Fill the FAQ document for the Operations Centre. The template is provided by the GGUS team: GGUS:FAQ_Responsible_Units
  7. Staff in the Operations Centre that should be granted a management role (manager, deputy manager, security officer) should first register a user account in the GOCDB. The user registration procedure is described in the GOCDB user documentation at https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/EMI/Glite-APELInstallation, section 4.1.1
  8. Staff in Operations Centre is familiar with Operational Procedures (these documents are quite old. We can either point to specific procedures or to other docs.)
  9. People who are responsible for operations should be subscribed to following mailing lists (unless differently specified):
    1. Operations Centre manager:
      noc-managers [at] mailman.egi.eu - registration through https://mailman.egi.eu/mailman/listinfo
    2. ROD team:
      All-operator-on-duty [at] mailman.egi.eu - list which integrate all Operations Centres ROD mailing list.
      Mailing list is populated automatically from GOCDB. New Operations Centres should make sure to record accurate information in GOCDB.
    3. Regional Helpdesk administrator:
      ggus-if-devs [at] cern.ch - mailing list designed for coordination of changes in the interface (maybe this mailing list is no more valid or used)
      To register please send a request (through for example GGUS system) to GGUS support staff.
    4. Security staff:
      ngi-security-contacts [at] mailman.egi.eu, NGI or OC security officers subscribe to this mailing list
      site-security-contacts [at] mailam.egi.eu, Site (only certified site) security officers subscribe to this mailing list

      Both mailing lists are populated automatically from GOCDB. New Operations Centres should make sure to record accurate information in GOCDB.
    5. (Recommended) Site administrators:
      LCG-ROLLOUT [at] jiscmail.ac.uk - list gathers all site admins and is designed for technical discussions - membership not mandatory but useful
      Subscription is possible through https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=LCG-ROLLOUT&A=1

Steps

Some steps of the process can be done in parallel as they are independent, so all steps grouped within the same task number can be performed concurrently (several different child tickets will be created in order to speed up the process). The general idea is that these tickets must be closed before being able to move on to the next step.

Operations Centre creation.jpg
Creation procedure for new Operations Centre if the Operations Centre wasn't part of a ROC


Validation steps:

Step Substep Action on Action Required data Notes
