2. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Overview Why we needed a new schema GLUE 2 timeline Implementation and deployment –Schema design –BDII infrastructure –Service publication –Clients Migration GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB2

3. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 GLUE history The European DataGrid project (predecessor of EGEE) initially had its own schema (2001) The GLUE (Grid Laboratory for a Uniform Environment) project was a collaboration between EDG, EU DataTAG, iVDGL (predecessor of OSG) and Globus to promote interoperability –The GLUE schema 1.0 was defined in September 2002 after several months of discussion –Version 1.1 was released with some minor improvements in April 2003, and deployed by EDG and then LCG and EGEE in 2003/4 –Version 1.2 was agreed in February 2005, finalised in May 2005 and deployed (fairly gradually) by LCG/EGEE in 2006 –Version 1.3 was agreed in October 2006, finalised in December 2006 and deployed from 2007 onwards GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB3

4. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Problems with GLUE 1.x The schema has worked, but we have many accumulated issues Initial schema definitions were based on limited experience –Only for CE and SE No SRM for storage in 2002, just “classic SE” –Embedded assumptions which turned out to be too restrictive Not easily extendable Definitions not always clear, documentation somewhat limited –Case sensitivity, optional attributes, units, special values –Ambiguities (CPUs/job slots) –Too specific (only two CPU benchmarks) –Many things effectively defined by LCG/EGEE practice We always required changes to be backward-compatible to make upgrading easier –1.x schema had limited scope for additions, so changes often “shoe-horned” into the available structure –1.2 schema introduced a generic GlueService object, but it had no connection to the existing CE and SE objects GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB4

5. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Upgrading the schema Schema migration is a complex process: 1)Define the abstract schema 2)Define the LDAP rendering 3)Implement the schema in the BDII and roll out 4)Write and deploy information providers 5)Update client tools to understand GLUE 2 You are here! 6)((Retire GLUE 1)) The schema interacts with everything, so the rollout must be a gradual process without breaking anything GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB5

6. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 GLUE 2 timeline October 2006: First discussion, decision to move into the OGF January 2007 (OGF 19): First working group meeting June 2008 (OGF 23): Draft specification opened to public comment August 2008: Public comment period ended January 2009: Final specification ready March 2009 (OGF 25): GLUE 2.0 becomes an official OGF standard –http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.147.pdfhttp://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.147.pdf LDAP rendering defined in May/June 2009 –Resource BDII in production since September 2009 –Site BDII in production since August 2010 –Top-level BDII in production since October 2010 Information providers gradually rolled out (2010/11) EMI 2 has full GLUE 2 support (May 2012) GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB6

7. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Ground rules Complete redesign, not backward- compatible OGF working group –Real Grid standard –Buy-in from other projects, especially Nordugrid Incorporates many years of experience –Supports existing uses in GLUE 1.x Designed to be easy to extend GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB7

11. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Changes in terminology GLUE 2 looks a bit different to GLUE 1, but most of the concepts are there under different names –Site -> AdminDomain –(VO) -> UserDomain –Element -> Service –Service -> Endpoint –AccessControlBaseRule -> AccessPolicy, MappingPolicy –CE, VOView -> ComputingManager, ComputingShare Remove duplication/double counting –Cluster/SubCluster -> ExecutionEnvironment –(Job) -> Activity –SA/VOInfo -> StorageShare Existing attributes should all map to something –Unless they were unused –All existing use cases should be met GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB11

12. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Major changes Generic concept of a Service as a coherent grouping of Endpoints, Managers and Resources –ComputingService and StorageService are specialisations, sharing a common structure as far as possible –Generic concepts for Manager (software) and Resource (Hardware) All objects are extensible –Multivalued string “OtherInfo” and/or Key-Value pairs All objects have a globally unique ID Many objects allow many-to-many relations –More flexible, but more complex Some concepts made more generic/flexible by making them separate objects rather than attributes –Location, Contact, Policy, Benchmark, Capacity More complete/rigorous definitions –Many more enumerated types – but not fully defined yet –Placeholder values, case sensitivity, optional vs mandatory GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB12

13. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Main benefits General structure for any service –CE, SE, WMS, VOMS, MyProxy, LFC, FTS, … –Generic service discovery tool Much more expandable –All objects can be extended –We always find new cases we didn’t anticipate –Schema upgrades can take a long time Fixes many long-standing problems –StorageService designed for SRM! –ComputingService has a better separation of Grid endpoint, LRMS and queue/fairshare Interoperability and standardisation –EMI adopted GLUE 2 as a unified standard GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB13

14. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 BDII implementation Merged LDAP schema, GLUE 1.3 + GLUE 2 Generally follows GLUE 1 practice, but some changes –Attribute names like GLUE2ComputingShareRunningJobs –Case sensitivity –Some attributes are mandatory –The naming and usage of foreign keys are somewhat different Single LDAP server, on port 2170 as usual Separate root DNs – o=glue vs o=grid –Should be no crosstalk other than data volume Resource BDII: GLUE2GroupID=resource, o=glue Site BDII: GLUE2DomainID=, o=glue Top BDII: GLUE2DomainID=, GLUE2GroupID=grid, o=glue GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB14

15. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Service publisher Generic service publisher to publish the GLUE 1 GlueService object in production for several years –FTS and LFC have their own dedicated providers Upgraded to publish the GLUE 2 Service, Endpoint and AccessPolicy –Backward compatible with the GLUE 1 publisher –Supports all relevant GLUE 2 attributes, and Services with multiple Endpoints Progressively rolled out as new versions of services are released –Already have WMS, LB, MyProxy, bdii_site, bdii_top, msg.broker.*, VOMS and VOBOX in production –In EMI 2 for AMGA, Argus –In work for Hydra, Nagios, Frontier/squid, … Easy to add publication for any service (APEL?) FTS and LFC have upgraded their own providers GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB15

16. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 CREAM For GLUE 1 we introduced the glite-CLUSTER node type to allow the GlueCluster and GlueSubcluster objects to be published from a different node –Supports sites with multiple CEs submitting to the same cluster –Also publishes the GlueService object for the “RTEPublisher” – a GridFTP server used to allow VOs to publish RunTimeEnvironment tags in the SubCluster –No-CLUSTER mode continues to publish everything from the CREAM node for small sites For GLUE 2, use the CLUSTER node to publish all objects except the CREAM and CEMon Endpoints (and associated AccessPolicy) –Objects are merged in the site BDII –The detailed plan is described in a wiki page: https://wiki.italiangrid.it/twiki/bin/view/CREAM/CreamGlue2 https://wiki.italiangrid.it/twiki/bin/view/CREAM/CreamGlue2 –EMI 2 has complete publication –Batch system integration for PBS, LSF and SGE is done GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB16

17. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Storage In EMI 2 we should have full GLUE 2 publication for DPM, dCache and StoRM First versions so will need testing Need to verify interoperability –Different implementations may have made different choices CASTOR and BeStMan missing –What about classic SE (standalone gridftp)? GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB17

18. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Profile The schema is intentionally very flexible Many ways to use it, not necessarily interoperable Need a profile to specify how it should be used –Detailed semantics of each attribute, what should and should not be published –Monitoring tools should enforce the usage Currently in work –Will need agreement with EMI, LCG etc Hope to finalise a document by the TF –May need updates in the light of experience GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB18

19. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Deployment status 389 sites published in GLUE 1 in the CERN top BDII (as of 16/7/12) 221 sites publishing a GLUE 2 AdminDomain Missing sites mainly still have a gLite 3.1 site BDII –GLUE 2 support since gLite 3.2 update 16 (4/8/10) Case-sensitivity in site name in the GOC DB –Sites we noticed were ticketed and fixed May be other problems at some sites? No explicit steps needed to configure for GLUE 2, just clones the GLUE 1 configuration –Sites may not have realised that they’re publishing! GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB19

21. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Clients All clients need to become GLUE2-aware –Must be backward-compatible –Can happen gradually WMS: JDL – first version in EMI 2 (next update) Storage: GFAL/lcg-utils – first version in EMI 2 Service discovery: lcg-info(sites), glite-sd-query –First version of OGF/SAGA service discovery tool available –CERN has possible replacement for lcg-info(sites) Monitoring, resource accounting: gstat – in progress (Taiwan) User tools - ??? GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB21

22. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Next steps Start ticketing sites not publishing in GLUE 2 –Early September? –Now have a push to upgrade for other reasons Every cloud has a silver lining! Start pushing EMI 2 deployment –~ 1 year? –May get help from LCG, e.g. for multicore support Get new clients into UI/WN distributions Aim for late 2013 for a full beta-test system? GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB22

23. www.egi.eu EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 Summary Define LDAP schema and deploy in BDIIs –1.3 and 2.0 together in parallel –Now deployed in production But sites are slow to upgrade! Write and deploy information providers to populate the new objects –Generic Service publisher available Being rolled out progressively –ComputingService publication (for CREAM) developed incrementally Full version with EMI 2 Including support for main batch systems –StorageService for DPM, dCache and StoRM in EMI-2 Update clients to look at the new information –Workload management, data management, service discovery, monitoring, accounting, user, … –Upgrades need to be backward-compatible Need to start validating the published information Eventually want to make GLUE 2 the default –Maybe start in 2013??? –GLUE 1 still available as a fallback GLUE 2.0 migration - EGI OMB23
