What to do when adding or changing an ATLAS site

Introduction

Here I'm adding some notes after helping UTD-HEP in its migration from 1 server to separate CE and SE.

Site configuration

Control config.ini

Check MyOSG and OIM

• check if site is publishing in WLCG BDII
  • http://egee-docs.web.cern.ch/egee-docs/uig/development/build_96/build/xhtml/QueryingInfoSystem.html
  • Check LDIFF output in MyOSG
• check if site is reporting to accounting

Test job submission

• globus
• condor

Test SRM

• copy file (test FS and gridftp/SRM server)
• directory listing and creation (requires sudoers configured correctly, and sometime fuse)

ATLAS

Notify for changes in ToA

• control the current content:
• http://atlas.web.cern.ch/Atlas/GROUPS/DATABASE/project/ddm/releases/TiersOfATLASCache.py
• notify atlas-dq2-support@cern.ch (maybe also Hiro and Cedric Serfon <cedric.serfon@physik.uni-muenchen.de>, hn-atlas-DDMOperations@cern.ch)
• check for the new file and test

Notify for changes in Panda scheddb

• http://panda.cern.ch/server/pandamon/query?dash=site
• shifters

Notify for changes in installation

• install list atlas-grid-install@cern.ch (and Alessandro De Salvo <Alessandro.De.Salvo@cern.ch>)
