Hello again,
At UCL we will have two separate CEs running LCG-2 middleware. One will
feed jobs to a UCL shared computing cluster while the other is currently
just a single-WN testbed, but will probably later feed jobs to a cluster
withing the HEP group.
Is it best to simply treat these as two separate "sites" with different
names, or is it possible (and desirable) to somehow treat them as separate
CEs within one site, perhaps by using one as a GIIS and making the GRIS
on the other register into it? The template site-cfg.h looks as if it can
only take a single CE_HOSTNAME, which I could take as a hint I suppose.
How would the GOC monitoring deal with this? What about CVS directories
for configuration (perhaps this is just a cosmetic issue)?
On the subject of site names, in site-cfg.h there are two variables,
SITE_NAME_ and SITE_GIIS, which in our case have the values "UCL" and
"ucl" respectively. How are these used? Are they both important, and
should they be the same (including case)?
Cheers,
Ben
