EIC/BNL Computing discussion

[EIC/BNL Computing discussion <eic-bnl-comp-l AT lists.bnl.gov>]

        Dear all,

        As I have a conflict today, in stead of our usual 4:30 -> 5:30
by weekly meeting, I suggest we follow up via Email. We have a few
action items ongoing and a few I am not what the status is.

Starting with the ongoing
- Organization
  Status : this list is created + Indico agendas at
           https://indico.bnl.gov/category/308/
           I will create a placeholder for today's (we will not hold
           it but the action items will be added as minutes)
  Next   : A Google based document will be created soon with references
           to other related meetings
  Reminder: every other week, 4:30 -> 5:30 PM EST is the chose slot


- User registration issues
   Document: 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Y2JleLOx1NiPoPI69yW97Onl_Dly4WzfInRGjskM274
   Status: should be solved modulo a couple issues discussed offline
   - Instructions purely for software/computing folks (project people
     have a department code EC)
   - Cannot accommodate for multiple POC for now (limitation of
     GUV center interface)
   - Unless Berndt tells the GUV center that there is such a
     thing as an EIC facility (which raise logistic questions
     I would like to avoid), the current best option is to say
     "SDCC" as it would be what users would use as resources.
   * I recommend we agree on the set of instructions now and
     modify later (we need to get people going!!)

  Note: Will move on testing the registration flow with a guinea
  pig ...


- Storage for the EIC / archival
  Status : ordered (~ 1 PBytes + 2 tape drives)
  Pending: will need to figure out the size of datasets to be pushed
           in HPSS (and understand tape purchase mechanics)


- EIC OSG submit host
  Status : VM ready, host CERT ready, deploying stack


Opened items
- Invinio RDM / zenodo
  Note   : There was an additional meeting held with minutes at
           https://indico.bnl.gov/event/8396/
  Status : An instance is being created for PHENIX's needs. ETA 2 weeks.
           EIC requirements would be drafted. A testbed will also
           be raised for the EIC (vanilla zenodo + InCommon)


- BNLBox - Kolja's instructions.
  What happened there? Are they uploaded?


- CVMFS - we discussed a convention for CVMFS path and software
  location. Since I did not hear this was taken as an action item,
  I asked Markus to bring it up. Wouter is leading this. Only a
  draft

- PhoneBook - what is the status of the EIC PhoneBook update?


        Let me know if there is anything else missing, need corrections
and/or anything else that should be discussed.
