Owen, don't you also need to advertise exactly which OSs you can ask for?

Hello John, Yes be they already provide this in the Glue Schema, you can advertise the worker nodes as virtualized and state their OS, we also standardised their architecture for i386 and amd64. I guess PowerPC, MIPS, sparc and ARM can all wait until some one has suitable hardware. thanks for checking though. Owen

Just a quick correction to the minutes, <original> at DESY, some work with Sun Grid Engine and XEN to virtualize the worker node; this will lead to move WN to Debian; two architecture supported: i386, AMD64; </original>
The move to Debian worker nodes, is not implied by this but has been a long standing action since PISA conferance for glite, this is finally occurring. I should like no mention of debian coupled to this discussion except as an example of deploying a worker node on demand. In the context of the minutes I think their is no need to mention it as its quite independent.
<suggestion> at DESY, some work with Sun Grid Engine and XEN to virtualize the worker node, multiple OS's can be supported. The framework will in the future be configurable to allow dynamic OS installation by glite middle-ware based upon the jobs requirements. This required an extra boolean field in Glue to allow sites to declare their CE is capable of support user defined operating systems and not just the OS explisitly listed in the Glue Scheamer. </suggestion>
