EGI Operations EGI Feedback on removing the Information provider from WLCG storage resources V. Spinoso – A. Paolini – P. Solagna Outline Operational motivations Public relations motivations Effort allocated on BDII development (cloud) Assessment needed WLCG Information System Evolution Task Force meeting – 16 Jun 2016 Installed capacity EGI needs BDII on storage resources to assess the total installed storage capacity NGIs and EGI as a whole need to know the installed capacity, to justify national and European investments in the infrastructure BDII serves well the purpose, publishing information on used/total NGIs need those information for different purposes (funding, accounting, advertising) Installed capacity EGI and NGI reports need to retrieve the installed capacity Per site Per VO Per NGI Per EGI Effort to maintain the BDII EGI hosts hundreds of VOs Many of the VOs are very small Using the BDII helps with automatic VO management EGI hosts hundreds of sites Many of the sites are small Effort available for site administration is usually small Sites are usually happy with the BDII because it is simple to maintain PIC difficulties related to dCache information provider, not really a technology problem Operational motivations For the EGI Helpdesk it is hard to debug issues that are affecting for example a CE and a non published SE, without EGI monitoring 1st and 2nd level support will not have monitoring data for all the involved services, which makes difficult to collect clues and get the complete picture Taking services out of the EGI scope will stop applying any operational procedure to these services i.e. software updates campaigns (StoRM publishes correctly the version) Cloud development EGI is actively working in integrating cloud extensions into the GLUE2.1 schema EGI Engage funded activity ongoing https://wiki.egi.eu/wiki/EGI-Engage:TASK_JRA2.4_Accelerated_Computing Extensive report given by Alessandro for the OGF https://redmine.ogf.org/dmsf/glue-wg?folder_id=6616 Which sites are involved? It is very important to EGI to understand exactly which sites will be affected by potential changes, to assess the impact of the changes At last meeting EGI was able to provide some tentative lists (browsing the BDII!), but an official statement is needed to evaluate the differences before and after the changes
