  1. SA2 report Jules Wolfrat (SARA) ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  2. Outline • Overview of different SA2 activities • Slides borrowed form EGEE’06 presentations: • ENOC – Mathieu Goutelle – CNRS UREC • LHC OPN – David Foster - CERN • E2ECU – Toby Rodwell - DANTE • SA1 issues ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  3. Information sources • TNLC – Technical Network Liaison Committee • Discussion forum between NRENs and SA2 • Meetings at EGEE conferences • LHC OPN – LHC Optical Private Networks • Agenda last meeting (September 21) http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=a062977 ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  4. Technical Network Liaison Committee Status of the ENOC Mathieu Goutelle (EGEE-SA2, CNRS UREC) EGEE’06 conference – Geneva, 2006-09-28

  5. First objectives • Creating a “Network Support unit” in the EGEE operational model; • Interface between NRENs, GEANT and EGEE operations • Based on the work done during EGEE: • Definition of the ENOC: tasks, requirements, tools; • Definition of the actors, interfaces and procedures; • Tests on a limited set of NRENs. • First implementation in EGEE-II: • First “iteration”; • Planned developments in the next months. ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  6. ENOC tasks • Collect tickets from NRENs which agree to send them to the ENOC; • Forward to GGUS the ones that seem relevant (possible impact on the grid infrastructure); • Receive tickets assigned to ENOC by the GGUS TPM (1st level support); • Troubleshoot them provided that the ENOC has access to suitable monitoring tools; • Contact identified faulty domains or reassign ticket to the associated site if there is no evidence of a backbone problem (e.g. LAN issue). ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  7. EGEE Network SupportUnits NRENs ENOC GGUS GÉANT2 Users Current ENOC status • Interface with NRENs is running like in EGEE: • ENOC receives Trouble Tickets (incident, maintenance) from GÉANT and the NRENs (currently France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, and United Kingdom); • More to come: Poland, the Netherlands, Czech Republic; • Forward it to GGUS after analysis and if relevant to EGEE (using CIC portal?) • Identified as the Network Support unit in GGUS: • 2nd level support for network related issues. ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  8. Current ENOC status (cont.) • Interface with NRENs: • Via emails: no standardization; • Languages issue: 8 different languages; • Current work on TT standardization via the TNLC (see later). • Interface with GGUS: • Use of web services, alike the (ex-)CIC portal; • This was not planned to be available so quickly (thanks to FZK for their swift work!); • Currently being tested under maximum load since the beginning of the month. • Network Operational Database: • Same function as the GOCDB for the ENOC; • Contains info (contact, available services, etc.) on the interconnections of network domains between EGEE sites; • Need now to consolidate the stored information! ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  9. Conclusion • Currently running according to plans: • First iteration of the implementation; • Procedures are iteratively refined and enhanced; • Tools are being developed to improve the information channel and ease the processes; • Summary of issues: • Still some NRENs missing; • Consolidation of the data in the Network Operational DB; • Monitoring tools? • Support for the OPN: interim phase, runtime phase?

  10. TNLC Meeting LHCOPN Status David Foster Communications Systems Group Leader CERN IT-CS ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  11. LHCOPN Architecture (2004-2006) ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  12. ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  13. OPN Organisation • LHCOPN Meetings 4 times a year • Organised as a sub-activity of the GDB • Current Working groups • Operations (Dante) • Monitoring (USA) • Routing (CERN) • Security (UK) • Working group evolution • Routing will become a long term technical body • Monitoring will evolve to become more technical network management including tool selection and deployment • Operations will continue to be the problem determination and resolution • Security will continue to be an advisory and policy body. ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  14. OPN Status Summary ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  15. Operational Status • Several links “in production” but coherent operational management across organisational domains must be organised. • Agreement has been reached to deploy one initial monitoring tool “Perfsonar” across all domains. • Workshops have been held (Dante) • Munich 19 July 06: DANTE, DFN, REDIRIS, GARR, SURFnet, NORDUnet, RENATER, CERN (and LRZ-Munich) • Toronto 18-19 September 06: DANTE, I2, ESnet, TRIUMF, Canarie, FNAL, USLHCNET • End-to-End coordination unit (E2ECU) being implemented by Dante as part of the overall NOC – Full Operation January 2007. • ENOC providing information integration with Grid Operations (EGEE-SA2) working closely with E2ECU • All operational information documented on the LHCOPN Twiki: http://lhcopn.cern.ch ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  16. End-to-End Coordination Unit Toby Rodwell, Network Engineer, DANTE TNLC, 28th September 06, Geneva

  17. E2E Coordination Unit • Purpose • To communicate the state of international end-to-end circuits (transiting GN2) to all appropriate entities (transit domains, end-sites) • Responsibilities • Monitor (indirectly) the state of all end-to-end circuits • Receive reports from all involved entities of changes to circuits (faults, planned maintenance) • Advise all entities of known changes to circuits (learned from direct reports and E2ECU monitoring) ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  18. Assumptions • An end-to-end circuit is considered to exist between the CPE (“Customer Premises Equipment”) at one end site and the corresponding CPE at the other end-site. • For LCG this means between the CERN access router and the corresponding Tier 1 CPE (router) • The transit NRENs deploy appropriate monitoring tools (e.g. those developed by perfSONAR) ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  19. Caveats/Notes • The E2ECU will able to co-ordinate all trans-GÉANT2 circuits, but is currently organized with the LHC Optical Private Network (OPN) in mind • The E2ECU is not contactable by end-users – only campus network admins • The E2ECU is responsible for facilitating communications about end-to-end circuits – it is not responsible for the circuits themselves • Responsibility for the constituent circuits of an end-to-end circuit remains with the owners (NRENs, DANTE) ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  20. E2E Coordination Unit Set Up • Appoint organization to undertake E2ECU role • Deploy Tools • Monitoring Tools • Trouble Ticket System • Database • Develop Policies and Procedures • Fault Reporting and Service restoration • Hours of Coverage • Escalation Procedures • Periodic Reports ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  21. E2ECU Parent Organization • Communication et Systemes [CS] located in Paris • Currently providing services as GÉANT2 NOC • Organized and supervised by DANTE ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  22. Trouble Ticket System • Extension to existing system used by GEANT2 NOC • Will be possible to send e-mails to specific community of users depending on the fault’s impact • Periodic updates • Updates to the E2ECU from the domains where the fault first occured => Then TT with latest updates forwarded to the remaining partners Note: Unlike current ENOC, E2ECU will not extract information from other domain TTs (all communication via phone, direct e-mail or web interface) ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  23. Database • Extension to existing GÉANT2 database • Will contain information on • Links • Projects • Contact information of the network administrators • Accessible by the E2ECU • Developed by DANTE ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  24. Fault Report and Restoration E2E Monitoring System E2ECU ENOC TT T0 Centre T1 Centre NREN B GN2 NREN A MA/MP ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  25. Relation with ENOC • E2ECU monitor LHC connectivity (circuits) • ENOC manage the ‘service’ (ie. IP service) • For E2ECU, ENOC is treated like all other NOCs which are part of the LHC OPN • ENOC will receive updated TTs • These will be forwarded to GGUS • ENOC can contact E2ECU (for queries etc) ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  26. Road Map • Processes being developed • Pilot E2ECU service planned for mid November • Focused on LHC support • Full set up by January 2007 • Temporary support for LHC to be provided by the ENOC ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  27. Other SA2 activities • Common Trouble Ticket Schema • Network SLA implementation ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07

  28. SA1 questions • Goal of GGUS tickets entered by ENOC? • ENOC Network operational Database • Why not part of GOC DB? • Overlap with E2ECU DB? • Different operational organisations - ENOC, E2ECU • ENOC interface to E2ECU for EGEE users and admins ARM-8 – Athens, 2006-11-07
