AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, HGSM/GOCDB (3) Static database containing all relevant data about all SEE-GRID and AEGIS sites Must be kept synchronized with the real situation  All sheets must be properly updated  Site Info  Contacts  Site Nodes  Downtimes  XML dumps – the easiest way to apply changes is to download XML dump of the data, edit it appropriately, and then upload the new XML file; this also allows keeping of backups

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, HGSM/GOCDB (4) The essential fields in HGSM:  GIIS URL  Monitoring: Yes  Status: certified  Type: seegrid_production, seegrid_certified, egee_production  Site Commitments Contacts and administrators All fields have to have correct values! URL:

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Helpdesk/GGUS (1)

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Helpdesk/GGUS (2)

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Helpdesk/GGUS (3) Central reference point for tracking of all operational and user problems Identified problems are reported through the Helpdesk and assigned to the appropriate supported If problems cannot be solved within the SEE-GRID community, they are propagated to other projects/initiatives/support systems (e.g. GGUS) URL:

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, BBmSAM/SAM

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, BBmSAM History

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, BBmSAM Portal that provides access to the database of SAM tests results Central tools for identification of operational problems Should be checked by each site admin on a daily basis Should be used to troubleshoot problems Also provides SLA figures URL:

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, GStat (1)

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, GStat (2) Central tool for monitoring of the information system of SEE-GRID infrastructure Provides useful data Identifies problems with sites Should be checked by each site admin on a daily basis and used for troubleshooting  Useful ldapsearch commands can be found on GStat pages! URL:

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Nagios/CIC portal (1)

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Nagios/CIC Portal (2)

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Nagios/CIC portal (3) Collection of alarms raised by various tools The aim is to integrate all the tools and make the life of site admins and infrastructure managers easier In the future, automatic creation of Helpdesk tickets will be implemented URL:

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Accounting portal (1) Accounting by site Accounting by countries and institutions Accounting by applications

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, EGEE Accounting portal

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Accounting portal (2) Collects the accounting data from all SEE-GRID and AEGIS sites through apel accounting publisher developed by the project Provides aggregated accounting data by site, country, institution, application Each site must publish the accounting data properly URL:

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Downtime procedures Downtimes must be announced well in advance (1 week is reasonable time)  There are always downtime due to hardware etc. failures that cannot be anticipated All downtimes must be entered properly in HGSM  That way they are not be counted against the site’s availability In addition, all downtimes must be broadcasted by e- mail to the GIM, APP and proper VO mailing lists Downtime should not exceed 10% of the total time (monthly, quarterly)  If yes, explanation must be provided  If the explanation is not accepted by the project management, SA1 claims will be rejected

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Upgrade procedures All upgrades/updates are announced over the GIM list The broadcasts contain links to further instructions for upgrades for each Grid service  Site admins should carefully examine them before performing the update! In addition, possible SEE-GRID-specific instructions are given in the For especially important updates/changes, tickets are created for each site For some upgrades/updates to be performed, downtimes may be required OS updates must be regularly installed, to minimize security risks

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Grid-Operator-On-Duty (GOOD) Rotating shifts on a weekly basis  Each country’s GIM is responsible to monitor sites during his/her shift  Tickets are submitted to sites with problems, according to the status of sites in various monitoring tools (BBmSAM, GStat, Nagios, Accounting portal, etc.)  Older tickets that are not resolved are escalated  Support is given to sites that cannot resolve earlier identified operational problems  User tickets are assigned to the appropriate supporters  Wiki documentation is updated, or new wiki pages created if necessary URLs:  

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Usual problems and links to (possible) solutions BDII  siteBDII (GIIS) or top-level BDII is Unreachable  No info published CA  CA version test failed with error message: This CA is an old one and time allowed to upgrade is over CE (Computing Element)  Job submission failed with error message: Brokerhelper: Cannot plan. No compatible resources:  Job submission failed with error message: Got a job held event, reason: Unspecified gridmanager error  Job submission failed with error message: Cannot read JobWrapper output, both from Condor and from Maradona  Job submission failed with error message: 7 authentication failed  Job submission failed with error message: 10 data transfer to the server failed  4444 Waiting jobs in the GRIS SE (Storage Element)  File copy and registration failed with error message: FTPD GSSAPI error: GSS Major Status: General failure FTPD_GSSAPI_error%3A_GSS_Major_Status%3A_General_failure

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Service Level Agreement (SLA) Old URL: The change to the current one is that the required availability is 80%, and that the availability is calculated on 3h basis, not on a daily basis BBmSAM portal provides SLA figures Sites not fully conforming to the SLA will have reduced funding Sites with the availability <50% will be uncertified Sites fully conforming to the SLA will be put into seegrid_certified status and become visible to the whole SEE region (i.e. not only SEE-GRID, but also EGEE-SEE etc.)

AEGIS Training for Site Administrators, Institute of Physics Belgrade, December 10-11, Service Level Agreement (SLA) Currently:  AEGIS01-PHY-SCL: egee_production  AEGIS02-RCUB and AEGIS04-KG: seegrid_certified - good work!  AEGIS03-ELEF-LEDA: seegrid_production  AEGIS05-ETFBG: experimental (uncertified) – problem! All AEGIS sites must improve their availability figures, so that we provide better service to our users
