General Information Beneficiary number: # 30 Beneficiary name:
Laboratório de Instrumentação e Física Experimental de Partículas Beneficiary short name: LIP Country: Portugal Lead beneficiary (JRU): ROC: South West Europe (SWE) Period: QR2 (August-October 2008) LIP QR2 Report

Progress Report (1/3) TSA1.1: Grid Management
Coordination/Interoperability with national and regional projects Ongoing deployment of the IBERGRID infrastructure between Portugal and Spain, the Portuguese national grid infrastructure, and EGI-DS. Infrastructure architecture assessment for interoperability between EGEE, the Portuguese NGI, and other infrastructures. Work with the Portuguese NGI to prepare the deployment and integration of a new national grid datacenter Contribution to the SWE ROC and coordination of the EGEE infrastructure in Portugal. Operation of the Portuguese Grid Certification Authority and its coordination with EGEE. LIP QR2 Report

Progress Report (2/3) TSA1.2: Grid operations and support
First line support for problems in the region. Operation of core services for the SWE region. Restructuring of the PPS service moving towards a VM based service. Support for new resources deployment at the PT LCG Tier-2 Upgrade of the computing/storage capacity in Lisbon, Coimbra and LNEC. Support for the Lustre and StoRM deployment in the PT Tier-2. Commissioning of new hardware at LIP To host the PPS and grid core services Blade center with iSCSI storage Prepare restructuring of the core services Assessment of virtualization techniques and iSCSI for supporting SWE core services in Portugal. Prepare the migration of the services to the new Portuguese NGI facilities at LNEC. Improvement of the monitoring capabilities. LIP QR2 Report

Progress Report (3/3) TSA1.3: Support to VOs, Users, Applications
TPM in August. Trouble tickets routing for the SWE federation. Regional COD setup including training. Support for Portuguese users and sites. TSA1.4: Grid security Coordination of security in Portugal. Support for the security incident at UMinho-CP. Interoperability effort to include CERT-PT in the SWE security management. Relations and coordination with EUgridPMA. Organize EUgridPMA meeting in Lisbon. LIP QR2 Report

Considerations (1/2) What are the deviations?
Availability of the production and PPS services has been affected by the restructuring of the LIP-Lisbon and LIP-Coimbra resource centres. No effort was committed to… Training activities. Regional COD task. What is the main success in the reporting period? Successful support for the migration of the Portuguese Tier-2 storage systems to StoRM. Successful support for the Portuguese Tier-2 upgrades. Negotiations with Spain towards a regional federation for EGI and discussion of initial plans for migration of the EGEE SWE federation towards this model. The virtual environment to host the PPS and the core services is operational and looks promising LIP QR2 Report
7
Considerations (2/2) What is the main issue in the reporting period?
Interoperability with other infrastructures in the context of the planning for the Portuguese NGI, IBERGRID and EGI. Hiring: how many SA1 PMs are still not assigned (e.g. because of hiring problems)? Not applicable. Which services are made available to EGEE… Two Resource Centres in operation in EGEE production infrastructure (LIP-Lisbon and LIP-Coimbra). Core resources (RB, WMS, Top-BDII, LFC, PX) in production for the SWE region. Deployment of core resources (RB, WMS, Top-BDII, LFC, PX) and resource centre resources for the EGEE pre-production infrastructure. LIP QR2 Report

Comments Additional comments from Lead beneficiary (JRU):
Initiatives to increase any type of centralization in the project should be avoided (centralized installation of middleware). Additional comments from ROC: The middleware architecture of EGEE should move towards an interoperable decentralized infrastructure towards the future NGI/EGI model enabling interoperability between national/regional autonomous infrastructures for example the information system model is yet centralized raising a lot of issues for infrastructures trying to interoperate between themselves.
