Hi all, I need some help.
I'm looking at parts of the system that have been "swept
under the carpet", so to speak. The first thing I looked at
was documentation on the GridPP wiki about the "GridPP
Approved VOs". There is a process now to keep it up to
date (with a tool called "VomsSnooper").
Anyway, the point of this message is this: while finding
a way to keep the "GridPP Approved VOs" synchronized to
the CIC Portal, it came out that several pieces of odd VO data
were not disseminated via the CIC Portal.
The fields like this that I know about are:
VO_VONAME_SW_DIR=blah blah blah
VO_VONAME_DEFAULT_SE=blah blah blah
VO_VONAME_RBS=blah blah blah
VO_VONAME_STORAGE_DIR=blah blah blah
VO_VONAME_VOMS_EXTRA_MAPS=blah blah blah
VO_VONAME_VOMS_POOL_PATH=blah blah blah
VO_VONAME_SGM=blah blah blah
VO_VONAME_USERS=blah blah blah
There may be others. As far as I know, these variables are not
derived form the CIC portal. This then begs the question: how
is this information disseminated? (It would also be good to know
what it's for!)
If you have any knowledge about this, I'd be grateful if you could
discuss it here.
BTW: The VO_VONAME_SW_DIR almost always points to some
standard mount point, appended with the name of the VO. Only
VOs that use CVMFS break that convention.
I need similar rules, sources or conventions for all the variables.
Can anyone throw any light on this?
Cheers,
Steve
