Detailed Agenda

1 - Information (Mario)

1.1 - Update on status of the EMI 1.0 release

C. Aiftimiei (EMI release manager) will update the operations community about the current status of the EMI 1.0 release (slides)

1.2 - Transition from lcg-CE to CREAM-CE

Mail from Gergely Sipos March 1 (snippet):

LCG-CE hosts are gradually being replaced by CREAM-CEs within EGI the gLite developer consortium has decided to focus its effort on the CREAM-CE and terminate support for the LCG-CE software. The exact schedule is still under discussion, but the LCG-CE software will likely reach its end of support during the summer of 2011.

In order to help EGI user communities prepare to work with CREAM-CEs, the Operations and User Support teams of EGI.eu have prepared an information page about the CREAM-CE software and about the transfer of applications from LCG-CE to CREAM-CE:

1.3 - gLite 3.1 CREAM reached end of life and DPM

Mail from Tiziana March 1 for the CREAM in glite 3.1

For DPM in glite 3.1, the following NGI's showed interest: Italy, UK, Greece, Geórgia, Poland (1 site). In order for us to make any request to the developers to produce new rpm with the dependencies in voms-api version that have the mem leak fixed, we need to have early adopter sites for the test. Currently there is only one EA from the UK.

1.4 - phasing out of EGEE Grid name

Mail from Tiziana March 3

Instructions are available at: MAN1_How_to_publish_Site_Information

2.3 - Operational Tools

3 - Operational Issues (all)

3.1 Jobs work directory and temportary directory

We (EGI.eu) would like to discuss and finalize a long-standing issue which affects the LRMS administrators, concerning the management of the job work directory and the usage of temporary directories. A proposal is presented for discussion.

3.2 NGI wide WMS and top-level BDII used by Nagios

I would like to discuss setup of NGI Nagios services in terms of WMS/BDII used. Is there a recommended way what WMS should be used for good performance and reliability of nagios tests? Is it a good practice to set up a dedicated WMS for nagios tests with BDII limited to NGI resources? My concern comes from the fact that our CEs are sometimes marked as having problem because of non-responsive BDII/WMS. See ticket https://gus.fzk.de/dmsu/dmsu_ticket.php?ticket=67631 (-- Tomas Kouba (NGI_CZ))
