Minutes of 19th August 2002 GridPP Testbed Phone Meeting
========================================================
Present: Peter Clarke (UCL), Dave Colling (IC), Santanu Das (Cambridge),
Owen Maroney (Bristol), Andrew McNab (Manchester), Paul Mealor (UCL),
Steve Traylen (RAL)
1. EDG Testbed software release status
1.2.0 had been released since the last meeting, although later than
expected. Non-partner sites had been advised to wait until 1.2.1
although it is not clear how long that will take to appear.
2. GridPP Installation instructions / support status
Manchester had done an install from scratch of 1.2.0 (ie from the LCFG
upwards) the previous week and with the current instructions this went
smoothly. Apart from a few minor suggestions, this all looks ok as it is.
A page still needed to bridge between having a site set up, and getting
into the IC RB, MDS config etc.
3. UK sites status
(all in UK Testbed via IC RB unless otherwise noted)
Bristol: at 1.2beta10 with CE + 2 WN, and SE (untested) + RC.
Cambridge: 1.2beta9 with CE + SE + 16 WN
Imperial: rb.gridpp.ac.uk + CE + 2 WN + SE at 1.2.0
Also in CERN RB.
Manchester: CE + SE (untested) + WN at 1.2.0
RAL: Application Testbed CE + SE + 10 WN at 1.2.0
Development Testbed also at 1.2.0
Gatekeeper to Tier1A equipment
Application Testbed also in CERN RB.
UCL: 1.2beta9 CE + WN + partially configured SE
4. All-hands demo preparations / requirements
Dave C. working hard on CMS demo. Will also investigate posters to
fill poster boards in GridPP room. Not decided on whether to use
RGMA on the day.
5. AOB
Andrew to make SE VO group in GridPP VO (for SE trust relationships.)
There was also some discussion about the Testbed session during the
next collaboration meeting at Imperial, including demonstrations and
talks from applications people already using the Testbed. (Volunteers
welcome there!)

next phone meeting was set for Friday 30th August at 2.30pm.
