Configure-osg (Suchandra)

• Available in ITB branch

Validation

• RSV Instructions to test RSV from VDT 1.10.0 are here
• Gratia
  • Probes
    • Probes not in final form, waiting for new collector to release probes
    • New principal feature is probes being able to collect FQAN for most jobs (except for some ws-gram jobs)
    • Nothing new needed to validate probes
  • Collector
    • Existing databases will be upgraded in order to handle FQANs
    • Will affect people with gratia databases
    • Testing will consist of upgrading collector and then checking to make sure that the collector is collecting information
    • More data integrity and speed should result from a switch to innodb
  • Site level collector
    • Only instructions for this are found on gratia fnal collector here
    • Chris will review this to make sure instructions are still up to date
    • A few replication bugs that affects robustness but bugs should be fixed in next release
    • Known problems if replicatee is down (e.g. if fermilab site is down, site level collector might not work)
    • Unknown whether probe setup will get updated if configure-osg is rerun at a later date (i.e. probes may reset to reporting to fnal and not the local site collector)
    • Updating an existing collector may take a while if existing data is present in a local site collector (check logs if collector takes a while to come back up)
• Cemon
  • After installing cemon, check to see that cemon is reporting to itb ress page
  • Can check the ReSS? homepage for exact commands
  • Tanya will update troubleshooting
  • Admins should check the information being reported to make sure things make sense if the information is being reported to cemon
  • Resource Selection Homepage
  • Problems in cemon might be in gip configuration problems
    • Tanya has made scripts available that can distinguish between gip and cemon issues
    • gip glue checker also available
