  1. NGS Status &EGEE/LCG etc. http://www.ngs.ac.uk Andrew Richards (NGS) – CCLRC, RAL

  2. NGS Today

  3. NGS Hardware

  4. Core NGS VDT (Globus 2) Middleware OGSA-DAI implementation (pre-production) Data Services – Oracle, SRB Various Applications… GOSC – GSC Supported services for the NGS MyProxy Service – myproxy.grid-support.ac.uk BDII / MDS Information Service (Production and Development) VOM (LCG-VO) Service Monitoring tools GOSC (GSC, NGS) Developing expertise with EGEE software / middleware Test infrastructure exists to allow evaluation

  5. NGS Software

  6. Database Service on CCLRC – RAL and Manchester Sites Oracle 9i RAC (hold license for 10g if/when required) Using OCFS Oracle Application Server 5 node Clustered Database Single node Database for SRB Use of Transparent Application Failover (TAF) NGS Database Service

  7. Single instance Oracle 9i for MCAT at CCLRC – RAL, duplicated at Manchester SRB Version 3.2.1, using GSI authentication mechanisms SRB vaults at each of the NGS core sites Single NGS zone for core nodes Option to use Federation for other zones. NGS SRB

  8. Monitoring BDII Nagios Ganglia

  9. GITS Testing

  10. User Support http://www.grid-support.ac.uk support@grid-support.ac.uk

  11. NGS Portal

  12. ‘Early Bird’ Users April 2004

  13. ‘Early Bird’ Users • Projects • e-Minerals • e-Materials • Orbital Dynamics of Galaxies • Bioinformatics (using BLAST) • GEODISE project • UKQCD Singlet meson project • Census data analysis • MIAKT project • e-HTPX project. • RealityGrid (chemistry) • Users • Leeds • Oxford • UCL • Cardiff • Southampton • Imperial • Liverpool • Sheffield • Cambridge • Edinburgh • QUB • BBSRC • CCLRC

  14. User Registration(Process) Accepted (User Notified) User Applies (Via Website) User added to NGS VO (includes SRB account) Application QC Application Submitted to Peer Review Panel User added NGS-USER and NGS-ANNOUNCE Mailing lists Approved ? Rejected (User Notified)

  15. User Example GODIVA Diagnostics Study of Oceanography Data EVE Excitations and Visualisation Project Integrative Biology Simulation of Strain in Soft Tissue under Gravity

  16. User Example

  17. TODAY 4 new core nodes operational 123 Users registered (23 since 1 September ’04) Grid enabled – Globus v2 (VDT distribution v1.2) at present BDII information service (GLUE + MDS Schemas) Data Services – Oracle and SRB Growing base of user applications MyProxy and CA services provided by UK Grid Support Centre VO Management Software – LCG-VO User support: Helpdesk Next… Other Middleware [gLite/OMII etc…] NGS Portal Resource Broker SRB production service Production Status

  18. Defining the Service – Computational and Data Services Middleware ? EGEE/LCG? O/S Dependancy (RH7.3) Integrating Helpdesk Support – within UK + Europe = GGUS Adding new sites (SLD’s, monitoring) Licensing (applications) Getting people to use the “Grid” / Education Making it easier to use – better/easier client access for non-technical users Challenges

  19. LCG2/EGEE0 – Interested to see if makes installation easier LCG2 not Enterprise Linux ready yet. (Redhat 7.3 Officially) Taking package gives additional items, ‘free’ such as R-GMA At Present… Use of BDII, use of GLUE schemas (not fully populated = no fmon agents) LCG VO Management software For creating grid-mapfiles For Portal access control Resource Broker Some successful tests against NGS nodes Kevin?

  20. Future Use of gLite? Other EGEE applications? VOMS? EGEE/OMII Middleware + others? Aim Ease of interaction between ‘whatever’ grid for end users.
