PSSGroup.Cool tests plan (Dirk / Stefan (with connection problems))

• Trash.Test programs are ready
• Checking which changes are necessary into the replication sites Streams configuration to incorporate the new schema used by the tests will be prepared by Eva

  • T2 (cool client installation)

Frontier RAL plug-in and Client Side monitoring (Rado)

• First prototype information will be available at the end of next week
• Necessary to check the network connection for the Frontier server on the testbed environment
• Stay at the testbed environment for Frontier based tests -> keep the RAC setup for ongoing validation and later production
• Transparencies by Radovan are available in http://agenda.cern.ch/fullAgenda.php?ida=a054589
• Radovan uses Frontier Server from Fermilab for development
• testbed Frontier server will be used for tests
• Need to check the overhead of monitoring calls
• experience from FNAL shows only mild overhead caused by time calculation/UDP transfer
• would be nice to configure client setup dynamically eg switch on detailed
• First implementation of the monitoring design
  • prototype RAL plugin - end of next week
  • monitoring in RAL and UDP transfer plugin - middle of september

Next meeting in two weeks
