Input provided by french sites

Input for WG1 : Monitoring & Metrics

Input for WG2 : Support tools & Underlying services + WLCG operations

  • Scope ====
    • Support tools : Ticketing, Accounting tools, Request trackers,Administration tools [GOCDB, CIC]
  • Underlying services : Messaging services, Information services
  • WG2 Sub-Wiki : https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/WLCGTegOperationsWG2
  • What works well? What is used ?
  • What are the three main problems?

Input for WG3 : Application Software Management

Input for WG4 - WG 5 Mware operational requirements, distribution, deployment, distribution

What is in use currently and works well?

  • Mware integration using Quattor (long-term support essential)

Top problems

  • Mware usability : Too many information on logfiles. Finding the good information is too hard.

Log management in order to improve Incident Detection and Traceability

What takes the most effort?

  • understanding the Middelware dependencies

What can be improved about operational procedures?

  • A clear and single channel to announce a new release and documentation

What can be dropped?

Strategic directions you would like to recommend

  • Middelware compatibilities with the larger set of technical constraints (yaim/quattor, NAS/SAN storage infrastructure,...)

Other comments

  • Confidence in Mware : EGI staged-rollout on best effort basis. Is this sustainable ?
  • Still needed : relocatable version of Mware
  • Dropped too early : 32 bits UI
  • SL6 WN and disk servers may be needed soon (new hardware procurements)
  • Mware distribution via EMI and UMD : no enhancement of interfaces ergonomics
