- 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
