  1. Ideas about how to builda Certification TestBed Gilbert Grosdidier LAL-Orsay / IN2P3 / CNRS CERN: Certification Testbed - Gilbert

  2. Certification Testbed(s) • A set of 6 (7) machines, running RH 6.2 • installed thru an LCFG server at CERN: lxshare0301 • CERN local mini-grid cluster. Name ? • CE, SE, RB, UI, WN, (Proxy server + RC + MDS server): lxshare0302-7 • These machines should be accessible thru 2 types of gateways • lxplus for HEP people able to be granted an AFS standard CERN login • a non-AFS front-end accessible from outside CERN for other people • An NFS server will provide 2 filesystems to this cluster • one for file storage (for the SE) • one for the home directories • the same machine should also be running NIS for this mini-cluster • A similar mini-cluster will also be made available under RH 7.2 • the LCFG server could be shared with the RH 6.2 one • same thing for the NFS server and for the access front-ends CERN: Certification Testbed - Gilbert

  4. Use of Perl for new Modules • Currently, AFAIK: • Most TSTG modules use "bash" • Some use Perl • Want to switch to usage of Perl for new modules to be written • Perl is well suited to analyse bunches of log files • well fitted for system communication and dialog (even remote commands) • very well suited for parsing • good as well for formatting outputs or CGI script communication • very well documented • Programming Perl (3rd ed.), L. Wall & al., O'Reilly • Perl Cookbook, T. Christiansen & al., O'Reilly • NOT recommended, IMHO: Learning Perl, R. Schwartz, O'Reilly • very flexible: arrays, hashes, lists • Cons: cryptic language is the worse flaw CERN: Certification Testbed - Gilbert

  5. CVS for managing the edg-tests modules • Currently • everybody from TSTG can commit into any submodule directory • Could we be more restrictive ? • Proposal • stay like this • but send a mail to each submodule responsible • each time a commit is achieved into the relevant directory CERN: Certification Testbed - Gilbert
