I got ATLAS to start sending validation jobs to Archer last week.
It will be mostly broken for a bit whilst we get all the components working (e.g software release distribution, run time environment setup) but we’d like to get the validation process kicked off now so that we in a position to accept workload as soon as we are ready. Initial testing looks good and we have been testing with preloading the CVMFS cache (and using parrot) which gets past the outbound connectivity problem for HPC worker nodes. There are other options used by ATLAS at other HPC sites which we are trying out as well - happy to report on this as we progress.
I am aware we doing a things a bit out of order with GOC etc (I had to mark it as in production for ATLAS for them to add this resource in AGIS for example) but assuming this won’t be disruptive to normal operations. Let me know if we are (un)intentionally breaking stuff.
Cheers,
Andy.
