Database Readiness Workshop

Monday 6 Feb 2006, 09:00 → 18:00 Europe/Zurich

IT Auditorium (CERN)

Dirk Duellmann

VRVS (room Subway) will be available during the workshop. Workshop Focus o to what extend are the production database servers and frontier installations at T0 and T1 becoming available? .. What problems setup have been encountered/solved? .. Which steps still need to be completed before opening the first distributed LCG database setup for users from the experiments in March? .. How can the remaining Tier 1 sites join/participate during the first production phase (March-Sept) in order to be ready to also provide database services for the full deployment milestone in autumn? o to what extend has the development of the main applications (conditions data and other apps to be tested as part of SC4) been completed? ..This includes the definition of concrete detector data models, refined estimates for volume and access patterns, connection between online and offline, connection between T0 and T1 (reports from the various distribution tests).

09:00 → 12:30 Production Database Setup at Tier 0 and 1

11:55 Site planning discussion

Topics for Discussion - DBA technical meeting - 1-2 days after CHEP at RAL? - Participation of remaining Tier 1 sites - required by experiments? - realistic with existing site resources? - Oracle server kits - distribution via CERN or direct from Oracle? - CERN installation kits or direct use of Oracle installer? - Oracle support contact/contract? - SQUID support at Tier 1s - DBA or site admin team? - 3D meeting structure - more alignment with SC4 meetings or regular reports in both directions?
