In the UK we have very little experience with the EMI version and Kashif who (takes part in the staged-rollout tests and has most knowledge in this area) is away. Brunel does have the EMI release deployed but also the EMI-CREAM which is the cause of most current problems they are seeing. Would any other site (using gLite 3.2 CREAM) be prepared to try the EMI-1 ARGUS please? (Or if you happen to be running it already but did not respond in the meeting on Tuesday please let us know your experiences).

Hi Santanu,
I have EMI CreamCE at Brunel. It is the Cream CE version 1.13.3 released
last week. I also have an Argus server emi-argus-1.3.0.6.
Setting up the CreamCE and worker nodes was actually easy. I had
problems with:
- bugs in grid proxy delegation that were only solved last week
- Argus policy: the documentation was not clear in some (at least from
understanding) and the parser kept silently accepting policies that were
incorrect.
Actually I'm still learning about them. For example, in the last few
days the EMI CreamCE started failing the glexec test. The test was
showing as "Warning"
in
https://gridppnagios.physics.ox.ac.uk/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all. Actually
it was failing with system error 202. Kashif sent me this link
https://tomtools.cern.ch/confluence/display/SAM/WN#WN-org.sam.glexec.WNgLExec
It didn't help much. In the end, I had two problems:
- GLEXEC_LOCATION was not set by yaim, but it is read by the nagios
pilot test
- I had setup debug on in the Argus server one month ago and it
consumed the 65G area that I assigned to logs.
I do like the Argus authentication, even if I'm a bit scared of the
glexec thing.
I believe things are stable now. Overall I'm very happy with the EMI
CreamCE (dgc-grid-43) and the glite CreamCE (dc2-grid-66) that we have.
