Vortrag Wissenschaft für Alle, GSI,

3. FAIR Verbesserung gegenüber heute: SIS100/SIS300 GSI Accelerator
Primärstrahlintensität 100 – 1000 x
Sekundärstrahlintensitäten
für radioaktive Kerne: bis x
Ionenenergie: x
Neu:
schnell gepulste supraleitende Magnete
„gekühlte“ Antiprotonenstrahlen
bis 15 GeV
Speziell:
intensive „gekühlte“ Strahlen
radioaktiver ‚exotischer‘ Kerne
effizienter Parallelbetrieb
für mehrerer Experimente

Working packages

8. IT Linux (Debian) ~ 350 Windows ~ 800 AIX (reducing) ~ 10 VMS ~ 15
(SUSE) ~ few
Windows ~ 800
AIX (reducing) ~ 10
plus bio physics ~ 20
VMS ~ 15
plus Accelerator controls (~30)
Notebooks
Windows (XP)
Linux (SUSE)
Mass storage (3 libraries, TSM, TSM-API access)
2 SAN based (Storage Tek with LTO-2 tapes drives)

9. What is new Firewall (Cisco PIXS) Linux MTA (2-3) (migrate from AIX)
Spam filtering (tagging) (Spamassassin)
Virus checking (Sophos, ClamAV)
Problems: Siesta (~20 min)
enforce GSI naming convention
DNS Service migration to Linux (from AIX)
connection timeouts on AIX

10. What is new new Fileservers with Serial ATA disc raids
3 U boxes with up to 15 discs
Data
Scratch
Problems with old IDE disc raids
new batchsystems (1 U boxes, Dual Xeon, 3.2 GHz)
Windows migrate to XP, Server 2000/2003
phase out WinNT (this year)

11. Systems

12. What is new Debian 3.0 r2 non interactive daily security updates with
„out of the box“ debian tools
monitoring system (mon)
processes
disc status
log host (syslog-ng)
perhaps box status
GRID, LCG -> need systems and support

13. What is to be done separate discussion forum (FUD forum, open source)
Migration of services from AIX to Linux
radius
listserv
NIS (sign on, LDAP based)
…..
Groupware (mailserver) discussion
Microsoft Exchange 2003
OCS (Oracle collaboration suite)
separate discussion forum (FUD forum, open source)
Discussion: new Batch queueing system
LSF production (money)
SGE
OpenPBS
if money is available
replace old batchfarm boxes
new and much more storage systems (user, data, scratch) SAN/FC ?
~ 10 TByte is too small
good Linux desktop support -> manpower ??
