location of the new attribute VirtualizationType
by Alessandro Paolini 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

dear all, after adding in the draft the new GLUE2 classes for describing the accelerators ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BpeTBQfCn8xRo4Ff38esRhBwzoUHE4bVxba2rEA… ), Paolo is wondering if the attribute VirtualizationType (The virtualization mode adopted for creating the virtual accelerator device), now located into the new class CloudComputingManagerAcceleratorInfo, should be moved instead into CloudComputingVirtualAccelerator class. Paolo, why do you think it should be better moving it in the other class? Initially I was thinking that CloudComputingVirtualAccelerator class was better, but know it seems to me that both the classes are suitable for containing this attribute, it can be either into one or another: do you think we can add it to both the classes? cheers, Alessandro -- Dr. Alessandro Paolini Operations Officer - EGI Foundation Science Park 140 1098 XG Amsterdam The Netherlands skype: alessandro.paolini.egi ********************************* "I believe in the power of laughter and tears" "as an antidote to hatred and terror" "A day without laughter" "is a wasted day" >>> Charlie Chaplin

Glue 2.1 draft new version (0.5) - little modification
by Alessandro Paolini 19 Sep '17

19 Sep '17

Dear all, when working on the implementation of the new schema for the cloud prototype, with Baptiste and Enol we agreed on a little modification regarding two attributes for better representing the current situation. In the CloudComputingEndpoint class there are the following attributes: - ContextualizationName: supported contextualization mechanism (cloudinit, bash), if any; - ContextualizationVersion: supported contextualization mechanism version In our opinion these attributes should refer to the single image rather than describing a global feature of the entire endpoint; they would have more sense if they belong to the CloudComputingImage class. Our proposal is moving them under CloudComputingImage class, so their new name will be: GLUE2CloudComputingImageContextualizationName GLUE2CloudComputingImageContextualizationVersion Please let us know what do you think about it, in case we can also discuss it next week during the meeting. For you convenience I've also produced a new version of the draft, attached to this email, reflecting this change.

naming the new StorageShare attribute requested by ATLAS
by Alessandro Paolini 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

Hi Jens, all coming back to this topic: add a StorageShare attribute that describes the number of files stored in this StorageShare. This should be optional (mult: 0..1). Unfortunately the original email by Paul got lost, and I don't know if there was some discussion as well at that time, before you remind us this topic. I would like just to discuss the name of this new attribute: something like StorageShareFiles or StorageShareTotalFiles ? let me know, alessandro On 24 August 2017 at 16:28, Alessandro Paolini <alessandro.paolini(a)egi.eu> wrote: > Hi Jens, > > sorry for not replying before: I've just noticed that your message (and > the consequent reply by Stephen) finished in the spam folder... > > Regarding the P1, I will correct the document, thank you for spotting this > (I'm being in vacation since tomorrow till Sep 12th, so in the next two > weeks i'm not being able to participate to the discussion). > > Regarding P2, P3, and P4 it is not completely clear to me the need, maybe > because I look at the GLUESchema as operator/administrator rather then > user, and I don't know well the needs of the experiments. > > cheers, > Alessandro > > On 23 August 2017 at 16:45, <stephen.burke(a)stfc.ac.uk> wrote: > >> glue-wg [mailto:glue-wg-bounces@ogf.org] On Behalf Of Jensen, >> > Jens (STFC,RAL,SC) said: >> > One thing I did not see in this document - but had expected? - was to >> > address Paul's suggestions from November last year.
