This talk will present Trac, a unique open source tool
combining a wiki, an issue tracker, a Subversion client and
a roadmap manager. More than a tool, Trac is an extensible
framework based on plugins. LAL is currently using this tool
both for software development and system administration.

In this talk, we will present the status of Scientific
Linux, focusing on relevant changes in the past six months.
Next, we will also present current projects with SL,
focusing on SL 5.x and scientific applications. To conclude,
we will talk about future enhancements.

The Database and Engineering Services (DES) Group of the IT
Department at CERN supports and maintains a CERN TWiki.
This presentation will cover the history of TWiki at CERN,
facts about the system, the technical setup, problems we
face and our plans for finding a solution to them.

Nowadays, IT departments provide, and people use many
various computing services of more and more heterogeneous
nature. And there is a growing need of having a common
display that groups these different services and reports
about their status and availabilities in a uniform way. At
CERN, it led to launching the SLS project.
Service Level Status Overview (SLS) is a web-based tool...

This talk will present LAL experience to address the need to
track system configuration changes and link this with an
issue tracker, using a combination of Subversion and Trac.

This presentation gives an overwiev about the methods used
to ensure the high availability of important services such
as data base, web service, central file server a. o. Apart
from commercial products for
certain systems (Oracle, Exchange) different open source
linux tools (heartbeat, drbd, mon) are combined with
monitoring and hardware
methods and adapted to our special needs.

Deploying grid services means managing a potentially large
number of machines that partially share their configuration.
A tool is needed not only to install but to maintain such a
configuration. Quattor, developped as part of EDG, is such a
tool. This talk will focus on the LCG/gLite support in Quattor.

all Linux machines at Fermilab. We will describe the
motivation for the project, the package we selected, and the
current state of the project.

The BNL RHIC/ATLAS Computing Facility (RACF) Central
Analysis/Reconstruction Server (CAS/CRS) Farm is a large
scale computing cluster currently consisting of ~2000
multiprocessor
hosts running Scientific Linux. Besides providing for
computation, the CAS/CRS systems' local disk drives are used
by network
distributed data systems such as dCache, ROOTD and XROOTD to
store considerable...

TORQUE is a successor of the OpenPBS batch queuing system,
available as an Open Source product. Despite the wide spread
usage of TORQUE as Job Management System on computational
farms and LHC grid installations, this batch system does not
support any advanced authentication mechanisms.
We show two possibilities, how to redesign the existing
source code in order to add Kerberos 5...

The upgrade to Jefferson Lab will require a hardware refresh
of the mass storage system in order to handle the higher
volume of data from new experiments and simulations. The
next generation, higher capactity tape drives are also
significantly faster, a fact that has implications for
almost all parts of the mass storage system. This talk
examines the performance tuning required to make...

The author describes his recent experience porting software
packages to and running these packages on 64 bit machines
with Solaris and Linux. Issues discussed include code
modification, compiling, operating system requirements, and
performance comparisons with 32 bit machines.

I would like to explain a bit about our global filesystem
and it's use on PDSF. Also about how this filesystem can be
extended to other sites/labs. Our filesystem is GPFS, but
the concept can also be extended to Lustre or other cluster
filesystems.

Storage Classes attempt to represent storage use cases for a
given experiment. It is considered harmfull to match the
storage classes to real life storage system especialy if the
latter is based on path to get the storage configuration of
a file.
This presentation aims to define the problematic of Storage
Classes, explain one possible solution which is implemented
at CCIN2P3 and...

This talk will present the current state of the art of
benchmarking at
CERN. We will explain our benchmarking procedures, review our
latest results and talk about where we are going from here.
As part of the results review, we will comment on the
current CPU trends and we will talk about the increasingly
important power consumption.

This talk will describe some improvements to the monitoring
and management of the storage and CPU services in the
following areas
- use of SMART for disk monitoring
- integration of disk server monitoring and storage system
management
- transmission of Grid job memory requirements to the local
workload management

When the LHC experiments start taking data next year the
Tier 2 sites in the UK (and elsewhere) will need to be able
to recieve and transmit data data at unprecidented rates and
reliabilities. We present the efforts in the UK to test the
disk to disk transfer rates between Tier 2 sites along with
some of the lessons learnt and results obtained.
