Specification of Dione PILOT 2 of the Harvesting project.

PILOT 2 - Dione @ VD

Set up a Dione cluster with compute nodes in virtual machine running on USIT HPC group work stations and on HPC servers in the USIT machine room. A dedicated server is set up on the 129.240.15 net.

Pre-requisites
  1. Order 10 IP addresses on the 202-net for virtual compute nodes on VD-equipment
  2. Order 10 IP addresses on the 15-net for virtual compute nodes on VD-servers
  3. Set up a dedicated Dione server on a Dell 2850 on the 15-net - HW allocated
  4. Document the security aspects
Tests
  1. Set up NFS4 server
  2. Test jobs (performance)
  3. Start and stop VMs done
  4. Start and stop nodes
  5. Suspend VM, checkpoint (copy) VM, move VM to another host, resume VM without changing IP
  6. Suspend VM, checkpoint (copy) VM, move VM to another host, resume VM with changed IP
    • Test that NFS-handles survive suspend-resume of VMs
    • Test suspend-migrate-resume on Windows to Windows, UNIX to UNIX, Windows to UNIX and UNIX to Windows
    • Test different schemes to suspend and copy images to a central/distributed repository
  7. Test install ATLAS at the file server, enabling running on ATLAS-jobs on the virtual nodes (under the motto: 'if it can run ATLAS-jobs it can run anything')
