Pilot Testbed Present Status (2)
• From the last slide we see the integration of new sites is very slow
• WHY?
• CEDERJ has peculiar characteristics • CSIC is undergoing a major facility relocation.
Integration is expected to begin in two weeks• UDEC has issues with the OS needed by the
middleware• UNAM was slow to begin the integration process (two
months between first contact and actual start of work)

RC Integration Process (1)
• The Procedure for integration of a new RC is simple:
1. The Site manager contacts the Task 2.3 Leader (Pedro Rausch – [email protected]) announcing the desire to integrate his resources:
2. The following information MUST be sent:• Description of Hardware Resources• Network Address (not individual hosts!!)• If the site is willing to run jobs from VOs other than EELA (such
as HEP and BIOMED)
3. T2.3 Leader sends a proposed installation plan – in the case of new sites, or an acceptance notice for inclusion in the case of already running sites

RC Integration Process (2)
4. After installation, the site undergoes a testing phase, which lasts for up to two weeks
5. After test validation the site is considered part of the Pilot Testbed

Middleware Upgrade Plan
• All EELA dedicated RCs are expected to upgrade to gLite 3.0 in the following months
• First, UFRJ and CIEMAT will maintain both infrastructures for as long as necessary
• Running sites will receive notification when the Testbed is ready for site migration
• REUNA (UI) and ULA are already running gLite 3.0

Security (2)
• Site level security is a difficult subject
• Trying to define a minimum denominator
• We have to profit from the size of the pilot Testbed, and the well known relationship between sites
• Some sort of automation is in the works

Open Issues in Task 2.3
• Low engagement from partners (with exceptions)
• Resource Centre integration is very slow:– No previous knowledge– Depends on a handful of people– More engagement would alleviate things
