UMD Documentation for operations and sites

1 Introduction

This space is aimed at Resource Infrastructure Providers (sites), both part of the current infrastructure as well as to new ones.

It contains information about supported middleware products, supported hardware platforms and OSs, hardware requirements, deployment scenarios, installation and configuration or links to the proper administration manuals where available.

Starting actions

• Define the scope of the documentation
  • Platform, i.e. to which level of services do sites need to deploy software to service their users
    • Example: Small site
      • Compute element
        • Describe the list of components and products that comprise the described solution
        • Describe which functional capabilities this solution satisfies (e.g. Job Execution & Parallel Job)
        • Provide hardware requirements necessary for this solution in its various scales (e.g. larger and ultimate edition)
      • Storage Element
      • Information System
      • etc.
    • Medium site
      • ...
      • And of course ultimate site (GRNET)
