I discussed with Len about the Tier 2 web page. The issue can be divided into two areas: content management tools and Tier 2 content. Here is a summary. any comment? Content management tools: A static page is good at the beginning. In the near future, we might want to look at the possibility of using Plone, which is a Wiki-like tool but provides more features. Tier 2 content: The discussion focused on the needs of 'local users'. But now I am not so sure if this is correct. I will add what I think about the needs of grid users at the end. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Notification *) Outage, major changes *) Events How to obtain computer accounts for SLAC Tier 2 *) Unix account + e-mail account, prefer to send e-mail to users' home institutes. *) Full SLAC accounts (unix, e-mail, Windows/exchange, link to existing page) *) Procedures to obtain accounts (discussion: PI -> Charlie -> HelpDesk ?) SLAC Tier 2 Facilities *) SLAC computing environment, short text and a link to existing one. *) Security page, a link to existing page. *) Public machines *) Setup Atlas environment, links to Stephen's page and Atlas workbook *) Disk space in general AFS related issues Atlas space areas *) Batch LSF documents Commands to submit Atlas jobs to SLAC LSF farm LSF resources available to Atlas local users Data Availability *) DQ2 browser and space (Panda monitoring page) *) How to bring in and transfer out datasets (discussion: do we allow a local user to do this?) Helps *) HyperNews at CERN *) [log in to unmask] *) Other contact info Userful Links ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Grid users should not need much info about us. I am thinking to start with the following: *) Outage, major change, events. *) How to obtain a certificate/account for grid jobs to SLAC including limitations of SLAC grid accounts. *) Data availability (see above for local users) *) Submit jobs via Panda, a link to BNL *) HyperNews at CERN for discussion *) BNL RT (for Western T2) for Tier 2 related help *) Panda page/DQ2 page for various statistics. *) Ganglia monitoring in the future? -- Wei Yang | [log in to unmask] | 650-926-3338(O)
