Summary

As the activities progress towards the end of their life, activities progressively turn towards typical finish-up tasks, such as finalising deployment packages, documentation, etc.

TSA4.2 - MOOC

bi-weekly reporting

TSA4.3 - Liferay

  • INFN finished work
  • SZTAKI finished work
  • CESNET continuing evaluation of the new version 6.2 of Liferay

TSA4.4 - OCCI for CMF

rOCCI-core

n/a

rOCCI-api

n/a

rOCCI-cli
rOCCI-server
  • talking to CloudStack guys about their backend (Michel always in CC)
  • a bunch of minor bug fixes and small changes
  • work on installation & configuration docs
ToDo for next week
  • work on additional backends (CloudStack has the highest priority)
  • do quick iterations of bug -> bugfix -> another beta release for rOCCI-server
  • deploy rOCCI-server 1.0.0.beta.1 at CESGA
Problems
  • None (yet :-))
Delays
  • Still approx. one month (== Florian's contribution), no further delay

TSA4.5 - CDMI in CMF

Progress
  • swift plugin implementation is done and tested on Munich instance (a bug was detected caused by apache proxy in front of swift, workaround found).
  • implemented browser swagger API.
  • discussion with Synnefo about integration of their storage component.
  • reworked OS keystone token support based on mailing list discussion.
  • submitted a patch for keystone-voms for swift role extension.
  • Call out for more testing sites - only a single site is offering OS Swift at the moment.
Plans for the next period
  • documentation of the v0.2 release
  • improvements of the cdmi probe
Problems we encounter, but can solve
  • 1.1 month delay caused by effort rescheduling

TSA4.6 - OCCI CompClouds

no report given

TSA4.7 - AppDeployment

bi-weekly reporting

TSA4.8 - CloudCapabilities

bi-weekly reporting

TSA4.9 - VAPOR

Progress
  • Continue the development of dark data and lost files handling:
    • Improve fault tolerance and errors reporting, add control of SE check rate not to overload the machine
    • Continue work on GridFTP usage: new version of GFAL2 API to be delivered soon to fix issues.
  • Re-check the results of the JobMonitor against the Nagios alarms to see if JobMonitor does no longer fail where Nagios probes work (follow-up of the issue fixed during the last period).
  • Continue the investigation about high error rates of VAPOR's JobMonitor: several critical issues have been fixed with delivery of 2 versions of JSAGA. Now errors reported by VAPOR seem much more reliable. Some work is on-going about remaining issues.

At last, we managed to get in touch with the right person, Maria Alandes Pradillo from CERN, to help us find out how to build the gsiftp url to access an SE, and when it is applicable or not (mentioned as a problem in the last report).

Plans for next period
  • Complete the dark data and lost files management and start using it in production for biomed.
  • Enable one or 2 other VOs in VAPOR.
Problems we encounter, but can solve

none.

Problems and issues we need external help with

None.
