Daily Lab / POC Activities

Extramural:

• Installed and configured RLS on lab1002. RLS has been configured to use a Postgresql Database.
  
• Currently working on solving the following RLS issues:

gump:~ # /usr/local/globus-4.0.5/bin/globus-rls-admin -p rls://gump.somedomain.net
connect(rls://gump.somedomain.net): globus_rls_client: Globus I/O error: globus_xio: An end of file occurred

gump:~ # /usr/local/globus-4.0.5/bin/globus-rls-admin -p rlsn://gump.somedomain.net
connect(rlsn://gump.somedomain.net): globus_rls_client: IO timeout: globus_io_register_read() timed out after 30 seconds

• Peter is currently investigating methods for extending the MonaLisa pluggable component code.

Daily Lab / POC Activities

• Demonstrated grid functionality to the Project Management Office
• Provided grid documentation to Peter and instructed him on accessing the grid
• Pittsburgh node is still having time sync issues. (Check skew error) Jeremy is working to correct the issue.
• Peter is currently researching extending MonaLisa and WS MDS functionality

Daily Lab / POC Activities

Extramural:

• Worked on troubleshooting the Dallas RFT issue.
• Assisted Columbia with installing and configuring Globus
• Spoke with Wayne about installing the JHUAPL node
• Worked on Atlanta node RLS configuration.

Daily Lab / POC Activities

Extramural:

• Researched RLS
• Configured RLS on lab 1002 node
• Installed the following on the Dallas server:
  

postgresql-8.1.9-1.2.i586.rpm
postgresql-libs-8.1.9-1.2.i586.rpm
postgresql-server-8.1.9-1.2.i586.rpm
libiodbc-3.52.5-1.i386.rpm
libiodbc-devel-3.52.5-1.i386.rpm

• Configured Globus Container on Dallas node

bubba@gump:~> counter-client -s https://gump.somedomain.net:8443/wsrf/services/CounterService
Got notification with value: 3
Counter has value: 3
Got notification with value: 13
bubba@gump:~>

• Configured RFT on Dallas node. RFT transfers on the Dallas node hangs with no errors, need to troubleshoot the issue.

Daily Lab / POC Activities

Extramural:

Reinstalled the MonaLisa service agents on Dallas, Tarrant, and Atlanta using the standard install version 1.8.6. The VDT installations of MonaLisa have been removed to simplify the installation document.

Assisted Jeremy with installing and configuring MonaLisa on the Pittsburgh grid node. Pittsburgh is currently on-line and showing a status in the MonaLisa map.

Documented the current state of the grid with screen shots.

Daily Lab / POC Activities

Extramural:

• Researched the Replica Location Service
• Assisted Pittsburgh Engineer with Grid Node installation and testing.
  

The Pittsburgh node was able to transfer date from Atlanta and Tarrant. Jeremy is going to verify firewall settings with the Firewall administrators because Atlanta cannot transfer data from the Pittsburgh node. Data transfers are working fine from the Tarrant node.

Daily Lab / POC Activities

Extramural:

• Reinstalled VDT on Lab 1001.

Note: If the installation is run by a non-root user, the certificates will be stored in the /opt/vdt/globus/etc directory instead of the default /etc/grid-security/certificates directory.

If you select "no" during the certificate installation portion of the install, VDT will not install the default trusted certificates. This is OK because the CA setup file shipped by HealthGrid, will create all required directories and install the certificates to the correct locations. If this method is used, the GRID_SECURITY variable located in /opt/vdt/setup.sh needs to be modified to include the correct directory location. (/etc/grid-security) This needs to be done before vdt-control --on is run.

• Modified the Trusted Authority setup of the VDT installation document based on the recent VDT installations.
• Installed and tested AccessGrid with Ken and Tom
  

PHGrid News

Jeremy Espino at the University of Pittsburgh reported that their network security people approved and set up the firewall policies to allow their grid node to interoperate on the PH Research Informatics Grid.

The U. Pitt node comprises the 4th node on this grid.
