Overview

WP3 objectives and activitiesWP3 position in SEE-GRID-2WP3 deliverables and milestonesWP3 scheduleWP3 activities reportsWP3 country reportsWP3 Action points and issues


WP3 objectives & activities (1)

Develop the next-generation SEE-GRID infrastructure Next generation of EGEE middleware (gLite), the VOMS, the WMS,

information services and file catalogue services will be assessed having in mind project and WP3 objectives

SEE-GRID infrastructure deployment regarding the middleware services will follow and adapt its services according to the results of the assessment.

Support in deployment and operations of the Resource Centres Next generation monitoring services will be deployed so as to support the

over-the-board infrastructure monitoring. The current SEE-GRID helpdesk will be expanded in SEE-GRID-2, with the

main goal of full EGEE interoperability. Support the expansion and deal with the overall upgrade of the current

infrastructure by proliferation of RCs in each SEE country increasing: the total available regional resources (CPUs, storage, etc.) thus boosting the

capacity and reliability of the provision of Grid services at regional level, and the diversity and distribution of participating teams per country thus

strengthening cooperation and collaboration at national level.



Network resource provision and assurance WP3 will also deal with network resource provision, in close cooperation

with the SEEREN2 project, thus ensuring stable connectivity for the RCs in the region.

Attention will be paid to Bandwidth-on-Demand requirements, to cater for bandwidth-intensive applications in case they need dedicated resources for particular experiments.

CA and RA guidelines and deployment Regional SEE-GRID catch-all Certification Authority (CA) will continue to

operate providing certificates for countries without a CA. Experienced CA team will provide support for per-country CA deployment

and accreditation. The cycle to establish a National Grid CA will be in compliance with the procedures and accreditation process of the EU Grid Policy Management Authority (EUGridPMA).

Operations will be strengthened so as to support per-country CA operations



User portal deployment and operations A user-friendly multi-Grid access portal will be deployed, enabling

universal and more flexible user access to the regional infrastructure.

The work on the SEE-GRID-2 portal should increase the user-friendliness of being able to select a grid and execute a workflow on the selected grid, so that interoperability of different grids is seamlessly and transparently solved at the application (workflow) level.



A3.1 - Implementation of the advanced SEE-GRID infrastructure (UOB-IPB/IPP) Deals with support for configuration, deployment and operations

of the Resource Centres within the SEE-GRID pilot infrastructure, as well as transition of mature centres into EGEE.

Effort: 89 PMs Subactivities:

A3.1.1 - Expand the existing SEE-GRID topology by inclusion of new sites per SEE country

A3.1.2 - Deploy M/W components and OS in SEE Resource Centers A3.1.3 - Test the site installations in local and Grid mode A3.1.4 - Operate the SEE-GRID infrastructure A3.1.5 - Monitor the infrastructure performance and assess its usage A3.1.6 - Certify and Migrate SEE-GRID sites from Regional Pilot to

Global production-level eInfrastructures



A3.2 - Network Resource Provision and BoD requirements (IPP) Support liaison actions to ensure adequate network provision,

including the requirements for Bandwidth-on-demand, if and where necessary depending on the application.

Effort: 39 PMs

A3.3 - Deploy and operate Grid CAs (GRNET) Should provide CA and RA guidelines and help establish per-

country CAs to cover the authentication issues Effort: 73 PMs

A3.4 - Provide a user portal (SZTAKI) Supports the deployment of a user-friendly and multi-grid

interoperable portal for convenient Grid access and usage. Effort: 15 PMs

Infrastructure status (1)

Concerning the middleware deployments, the current SEE-GRID infrastructure supports a set of core services which provide user access to resources: Catch-all Certification Authority for the region has been officially

accredited by the EU Grid Policy Management Authority - EUGridPMA, and is currently operational thus enabling regional sites to obtain user and host certificates

Virtual Organisation Management Service (VOMS), server has been installed as an authorization system for the SEE-GRID Virtual Organisation (VO), which provides information on the user's relationship with the Virtual Organization, his/her groups, roles and capabilities

Workload management service (lcg-RB and glite-WMSLB) and Information Services (BDII) nodes (several instances) have been installed at partners’ sites and are operational

MyProxy is operational, and supports certificate renewal FTS deployed and used in production



SEE-GRID total and free CPUs in the last year



SEE-GRID infrastructure contains currently the following resources: 30 sites in SEE-GRID production 6 sites in certification phase (2 AL + 1 HR + 2 RO + 1 MD) CPUs: 1105 total, but unknown number available to SEEGRID VO;

increase of approx. 400 CPUs compared to PSC04 Storage: 17.6 TB (no increase)

All sites on gLite-3, with 3 sites on gLite-3.1 and the rest on gLite-3.0glite-CE final assessment by EGEE is that this service is not stable enough for production; we agreeglite-WMSLB actively usedGuides provided for deployment of gLite-3.1 WNs on SL4.5 (32-bit); in preparation guide for 64-bit WNs

Operations (2)

MPI support on SEE-GRID sites Important for many applications Current support not sufficient Seems there is a problem with setup on some sites – GOOD shifts

are addressing this, but this is not sufficient

Proposal: WG to be created which should define minimal standards for MPI support, and provide template scripts and JDL files for submission of MPI jobsWG can be composed of representatives from sites supporting MPI and having experience: Bulgaria Turkey Greece Serbia


Operational & monitoring tools

Operational & monitoring tools deployment status HGSM – Turkey SAM (+ porting to MySQL) – Bosnia and Herzegovina with

CERN support BBmSAM (Bosnia and Herzegovina) WiatG R-GMA – Bulgaria Pakiti


HGSM is a central database that holds all crucial information about a grid siteIt has an interactive interface for users to see and update the information available in the databaseIt has exports to interface with other services to enable integration between HGSM and other services that make use of HGSM's informationHGSM is constantly improved with new features and new exports to enhance its functionality, role and information exchange over grid services for administrative purposes

HGSM (1): Background


Started in May-2007 with appearance of requests for new functionality and enhancements due to inefficiency of HGSM in some areas in the GIM list.Since the requests was big and required some major changes in HGSM structure, an “Internals Document” is prepared and passed to people in the discussion in the end of May.During June, the requests are anaylzed and refined down so everybody was aware of the missing parts, possible solutions and impacts of the new functionality

HGSM (2): Latest Development Period (Initiation and Planning)


In the end of June a detailed “Roadmap Document” -which covers the problems, solutions and a step-by-step action plan in every detail- is prepared and opened for discussion in the GIM list.The Document is revised and updated according to feedback taken by the list. Document yielded 4 revisions, three drafts and a final which is published on Jul 12, 2007.Active development started on Jul, 16 according to plan announced in the Document.

HGSM (3): Latest Development Period (Finalizing and Taking Action)


Following improvements are qualified for this development period: Revision of visual interface fields. Introduction universal exporting subsystem which can be used by

humans and other computers. Introduction of an importing subsystem which can import exported

data for administrators. An automatic field filling tool for administrators. Functionality improvement on various pages of visual interface. Improving the handling of supported applications in HGSM and

developing a MAUI configuration editing tool for reflecting changes to grid sites directly and automatically.

Enabling HGSM to track site information history for statistical purposes.

Bulgaria (3):Petri net performance analysis

Anastas Misev from Macedonia was at IPP in a visit, sponsored by project BIS 21++, working on his Ph.D. thesis on Grid scheduling and failover. Host professor was E. AtanassovHis analysis of our RB rb001 shows that The overall success rate of the analyzed data is somewhere near 70% The percentage of the successful jobs greatly depends on the users

experience. Jobs by more experienced users have success rate above 80%.Interactive diagram helps in identifying the bottlenecks in the process model.It can show throughput time between any 2 transitionsColor coding to specify low, middle and high waiting time Conclusions: Job re-submission does not help in 99% of cases 20% of the 470 jobs submitted by one user had waiting times above 57 hours,

and all of them failed.

Turkey (1):Sites Operation/Ticket Handling

A new EGEE site has been added (TR-05-BOUN) by the beginning of April 2007.Dedicated resources:TR-01-ULAKBIM site (48 CPUs for seegrid, 16 CPUs for sgdemo) and TR-05-BOUN (8 CPUs for seegrid).From Classic SE to DPM migration has been completed at TR-01-ULAKBIM and TR-05-BOUN.DPM ownership patches have been done.SEE-GRID-2 accounting patches have been done.


Turkey (2):Sites Operation/Ticket Handling

Although seegrid jobs has run successfully, there has been frequent SAM failures of TR-05-BOUN in the last three months due to unknown prd/sgm account problems. We will compensate this lack of availability with forthcoming good performance of the site. Within October 2007, SEE-GRID-2 TR-* sites are planned to be upgraded to Scientific Linux 4.5 together with glite 3.1 middleware.Periodical updates, security patches have been done for all SEE-GRID-2 TR-* sites.Regular user, site problems were handled through SEE-GRID and national helpdesks.


Turkey (3):Core services

Smooth operation of the following core services has been enabled: Core services supporting seegrid VO: RB, BDII, WMS,
