AG@ROE

AG@ROE consists of two networks: one managed by ITSupport and MarkHolliman and part of the main AstroGrid network, and a private, invitation-only network managed by JohnTaylor. This network is for use of ROE, AstroGrid, VOTech and NeSC members only for the testing of new features.

Authority IDs

The following authIds are currently in use for ROE resources:

• test.wfau.roe.ac.uk For internal testing
• roe.ac.uk publishing ID for community
• wfau.roe.ac.uk for new apps
• harvestingregistry.roe.ac.uk for harvesting/query registry
• starlink.ac.uk managed on behalf of Mark Taylor for ex-Starlink software
• uq.au for resources hosted on behalf of the University of Queensland

WFAU

Any installed applications should be published under the wfau.roe.ac.uk or test.wfau.roe.ac.uk. The ivorn of the WFAU organisation is ivo://wfau.roe.ac.uk/WFAU

Installed CEA applications

• STILTS
• Anomaly Detector (test network)

Main network

For the accessUrls for the components consult the registry. The ROE publishing registry is at http://publishing-registry.roe.ac.uk/astrogrid-registry

and the harvesting (query) registry at http://harvesting-registry.roe.ac.uk/astrogrid-registry

Note:

• heilen.roe.ac.uk has been retired and moved into service as the eurovotech web server
• To get the version of any component append /about.html to the context path of the component. E.g. http://loki.roe.ac.uk:8081/astrogrid-registry/about.html

Things still to do

• Rationalise stuff on hempriggs - are we using any tomcat other than 8082,8083? If so, we need to open the ports/proxy them.
• The tomcat 4.1 on hempriggs:8080 can be retired MSH
• Settings and registry components of all components need to be reviewed and adjusted to reflect the new proxied URLs JDT/MSH
• Our publishing registry should be registered with Cambridge and (?) the RoR . JDT (waiting on RoR )
• Backup policy needs to be determined and implemented
  1. Component configurations should be version controlled. Thus we need a cvs client on all servers, and need to set up a repository somewhere (IT support can do this).
  2. Community data should be backed up automatically (already done, I think?)
  3. Publishing registry data should probably be backed up - there's not a lot of it, and we'd be grateful in the event of a disk failure
  4. MySpace metadata should be backed up. This is more problematic, since there could be a lot of it, and we will need to beg for some hardware to do it.

While 1,2,3 are for our benefit, 4 is for the benefit of our users...we should discuss with Bob whether we can get away with warning users that MySpace is not guaranteed.

File locations

These are sensitive, so are recorded on the ROE wiki http://apache.roe.ac.uk/twiki/bin/view/WFAU/AstroGridAtRoe (ROE LAN access only).

Test network

10 800Mhz, 80 gig machines running a mixture of debian woody and ubuntu hoary.

Only grendel02,03,04 are visible to the outside world.

ROE Portal - accounts are invitation only at the moment - please contact jdt@roeNOSPAM.ac.uk if you want to be "invited". [this server will not be visible to you otherwise]
