[[PageOutline]] = Cluster-D Meetings at GEC8, Agenda and Notes = == Tuesday, July 22, 12noon - 4:30pm == == Introductions (12 noon) == == Review of current status near the end of Spiral 2, and plans for Spiral 3 == === Spiral 2 and Spiral 3 Goals (12:10pm, Mussman) === The following goals have been established by the GPO for Spiral 2. [[BR]] Goal 1: Live experiments, the central goal of Spiral 2. Support significant numbers of research experiments in the end-to-end prototype systems. The GPO expects live experimentation to begin near the end of Spiral 1, which will intensify through Spiral 2 as we begin continuous operation of the prototype systems. This will begin to give us all substantial (early) operational experience, as these experiments will help us all understand the prototypes' strengths and weakness, which will drive our Spiral 3 goals. [[BR]] Goal 2: Identity management [[BR]] Goal 3: Improved integration of data & control planes, within clusters [[BR]] Goal 4: Instrumentation [[BR]] Goal 5: Interoperability, permitting clusters to access the widest number of aggregate [[BR]] For Spiral 3, these goals are reaffirmed, and particularly: [[BR]] Goal 1: Live experiments [[BR]] Goal 2: Identity management [[BR]] Goal 5: Interoperability, permitting clusters to access the widest number of aggregate, including use of GENI AM API [[BR]] === ORCA Software Releases for Spirals 2 and 3 (Baldine, 12:20pm) === ==== Roadmap ==== The ORCA software releases are currently scheduled for every 4 mo. , and include work done by both Solicitation 1 (1582) and Solicitation 2 (1700) ORCA projects. [[BR]] ORCA Rel 1.3 10/1/2009[[BR]] ORCA Rel 2.0 (was 2.1) 2/1/10[[BR]] ORCA Rel 2.1 (was 2.2) 6/1/10[[BR]] ORCA Rel 2.2 (was 2.3) 10/1/10 [[BR]] More in Spiral 3?[[BR]] ==== Status ==== Current progress on each feature, including: [[BR]] Known issues [[BR]] XML-RPC interface [[BR]] Shibboleth interop [[BR]] Additional features under consideration for Spiral 3: [[BR]] === Actor Registry and XML-­RPC Controller === Anirban Mandal[[BR]] [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/Gec7ClusterDAgenda/GEC7-anirban.pdf slides][[BR]] + ORCA Actor Registry[[BR]] - Snapshot of available actors from various ORCA containers[[BR]] — Users can use this for resource discovery and other queries[[BR]] - Users can visit http://geni.renci.org/actors.php to view current set of actors registered with the registry[[BR]] - Users can also programmatically query the registry using an XML-RPC interface[[BR]] + XML-RPC Controller[[BR]] - Goal: Provide an XML-RPC interface to ORCA for experiment control tools and external users[[BR]] - Tools/users would use this interface to[[BR]] . discover available resources[[BR]] . instantiate and destroy experiment slivers[[BR]] - Initial version of ProtoGENI-like XML-RPC interface available on an ORCA SM[[BR]] - Generic slice manager acts on behalf of experiment control tools/user[[BR]] - Details of control framework hidden from user[[BR]] - These interfaces provide a minimal set of features[[BR]] . DiscoverResources(), CreateSliver(), DeleteSliver()[[BR]] - Extended set of features (available later) would include[[BR]] . GetTicket(), RedeemTicket(), UpdateTicket(), UpdateSliver()[[BR]] .
