GIMI tasks, issues, next steps:
After discussion on 4/5/12:
After iRODS review with Shu on 4/12/12:


1.  When is next status call?  4/18?

2.  Target aggregates for GEC14 tutorial

a)  (Ilia) exoGENI racks;  all VMs  (Ilia)

b)  ( Ilia)  access to shell on all nodes by public IP address;  authentication/authorization using keys

c)  ( Ilia)  access to web interfaces (GUIs) on all nodesby public IP address;    authentication/authorization using keys?  certificates?  



3.  *** Architecture of GIMI tools for GEC14 tutorial

a)  (Mike)  need to arrive at nominal configuration ASAP

b)  MPs with multiple possible measurements:  host info;  basic network performance with iperf, ping;  data from app

c)  MC (OML server) in common node (node n+1)

d)  where is MAP service installed?  in common node?    in user workspace?    what is planned for this service?  how can analysis/presentation be configured?  is there an r script?  is there a GUI?  how is GUI accessed?

e)  movement of data from MC (OML server) to MAP service:   direct?   how?   via iRODS, i.e., MC to iRODS to MAP?  how?

f)  1st:  common node in slice;  2nd:  common node in user workspace (out of slice)  (is this beyond GEC14?)

g)  1st:  nodes on VMs, one aggregate;  2nd:  nodes on VMs, multiple aggregates

h)  1st:  Load image for common node, MP nodes;  2nd:  load MP code as package before/after app   what is test app?

i)  Is there authentication/authorization when data pushed fom MP to MC?  1st:  none;  considered OK  2nd:  add ssl?

j)  Is there authentication/authorization when accessing GUI (MAP) on common node?  how?   does this use portal to GUIs?


4.  *** Introduce XML messaging service:  required for OMF messages, used to orchestrate services

a)  (Max, Christoph)  public XMPP server must be available;  what?  where?

b)  (Max, Christoph)  signed OMF messages:  need summary of arrangement from NICTA.    what are names?  who configures pub/sub nodes?    what is structure?    how to generate and distribute keys?  is a public key registry required?    how would it be done?    


5)  Tools in user workspace

a)  includes stores for keys, certificates, credentials, rspecs

b)  (Jeanne A, David) Use Gush with OMNI to acquire resources, load images/packages, setup connectivity, manage processes

c)  (Christoph) Use OMF EC to configure/orchestrate services  can EC drive scripts?

d)  (Ilia) FLUKES optional to create (or observe) rspec

e)  (Ilia)  what is best way to load images?  packages?

f)  (Christoph)  Add iREEL (experimenter portal service);  what can this do?  can it drive scripts?  (need copy to run locally)  

g)  (From GEMINI;  under discussion)  Include portal service to find other GUIs?  

h)  (Giridhar, Jeanne, Shu)  Include Directory Archive (DA) service ,which can push data to DOA service, using OI service  (all from CNRI, also GPO )  Or is this replaced with iRODS client?

i)   (Giridhar, Jeanne, Shu) Include MDOD creator/editor  How does this interface with iRODS, ot push MDOD to iRODS?  

j)  (Mike)  who on GIMI project will help define final MDOD schema?  Shu.

  


6)  Introduce iRODS service

After review with Shu on 4/12/12:

a)  Shu)  define configuraion of iRODS servers, etc.  also logins for users

b)  (Shu)  define functions, interfaces to iRODS, and iRODS client    can a host mount a file system in iRODS?

c)  (Shu)  define naming in iRODS

d)  *** (Shu)  define use case for:  moving data from MC to iRODS, then from iRODS to user workspace    
use iRODS cleint in MC to push to iRODS?  how is authentication/authorization handled?
use iRODS client in user workspace to pull to user workspace?  how is authentication/authorization handled?

e)  (Shu)  consider interface to get unique handle

f)  (Shu)  consider storing and possibly formulating MDOD in iRODS    how?

g)  (Shu)  reivew above with GEMINI team


7)  *** Steps towards GIMI testing

a)  (Jeanne) Arrange user workspace 

c)  (Mike)  What is first configuration of tools code?  when?  who?

d)  (Jeanne)  What are first test scripts?  when?  

e)  (Jeanne)  When are first test?



8)  *** Steps towards GIMI totorial at GEC14

a)  (Ilia) Start with GEC13 ORCA turorial? 

b)  (Mike)  Define covered use cases, and review with experiment support team (Mark, Niky)

c)  (Mike)  When is first demo?



9)  Use GIMI in WiMAX site

a)  (Mike, Cong)  Can we do something by GEC14?  what?
