Testing the Tier3SW environment provided by Grid Canada

Introduction

Installation test

The software is described in https://twiki.atlas-canada.ca/bin/view/AtlasCanada/ManageTier3SW The installation instruction are in a text file in CVS: http://viewcvs.atlas-canada.ca/viewvc.cgi/ATLAS%20Canada/userSupport/manageTier3SW/_README.FIRST?view=markup A presentation: http://indico.cern.ch/contributionDisplay.py?contribId=18&sessionId=0&confId=77057

I installed it on uct3-grid5 in /ecache/marco/asoka/ATLASLocalRootBase/. The installation requires a dedicated user (atlasadmin). I tried to circumvent that using my own account:
  • had to install some software out of ~/bin, the chosen /ecache/marco/asoka/bin was not sufficient (a [https://twiki.mwt2.org/bin/../pub/Main/TestCanadaTier3SW/tmp100215-CanadaTier3SW-failedinstall.txt][first install failed]] without it)
  • the main installation happened in the specified /ecache/marco/asoka/ATLASLocalRootBase/ and is little more than 2GB
  • as a side effect a ~/workarea directory was created (no warning or request) with 294M
  • a crontab for the user was created:
     crontab -l
    5 23,5,11,17 * * * export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/ecache/marco/asoka/ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase; $ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE/utilities/fetchCRL.sh 2>&1
    42 14 * * * export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/ecache/marco/asoka/ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase; $ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE/utilities/fetchCA.sh 2>&1
    
  • Here the attached log file

The installation directory

The biggest part of the installation is the i686 directory with binaries and libraries.
> du -sh ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/*0	ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/Athena
6.2M	ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/DQ2Client
239M	ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/Ganga
631M	ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/Gcc
517M	ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/gLite
0	ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/java-i686
3.7M	ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/Pacman
1.3M	ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/PandaClient
61M	ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/python
523M	ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/root
0	ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase/i686/wlcg-client
wlcg-client, java and Athena are not installed yet (probably their installation may be triggered).

Most of the space is used by C compilers (Gcc), root, gLite (including globus), Ganga, python.

The workarea directory

> du -sh workarea/*
8.0K	workarea/ATLASLocalRootBase
8.0K	workarea/configATLASLocalRootBase
8.0K	workarea/DQ2Client
24K	workarea/Ganga
8.0K	workarea/Gcc
146M	workarea/gLite
852K	workarea/Pacman
2.3M	workarea/PandaClient
92M	workarea/python
54M	workarea/root
It mainly includes unexpanded tar files (gliteUI is the biggest). Few packages are installed, e.g. python, PandaClient.

Comparing current wlcg-client installation directory

Wlcg-client uses about 1.1GB. It is only grid software (no root and Athena included).

There is no future triggered install. The biggest part are: condor, globus, java-1.5, xrootd, pegasus. It has also more small packages than CanadaTier3SW

Use

The CanadaTier3SW is more a set of environment than a single sw package. Initial setup:
export ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE=/ecache/marco/asoka/ATLASLocalRootBase/ATLASLocalRootBase
source ${ATLAS_LOCAL_ROOT_BASE}/user/atlasLocalSetup.sh
After the initial setup you have separate setup commands depending what you want to do. Some of them are compatible with others, some not.
Type localSetupDQ2Client to use DQ2 Client
...Type localSetupGanga to use Ganga
...Type localSetupGcc to use alternate gcc
...Type localSetupGLite to use GLite
...Type localSetupPacman to use Pacman
...Type localSetupPandaClient to use Panda Client
...Type localSetupROOT to setup (standalone) ROOT
...Type saveSnapshot [--help] to save your settings
...Type showVersions to show versions of installed software
...Type runKV [--help] to test the kit or your desktop

Wlcg-client is a single pacman package:
source /ecache/share/wlcg-client091218

wlcg-client:

CanadaTier3SW has 108 glite commands, all missing in wlcg-client. Some I think are a simple rename for other commands (e.g. glite-voms-proxy-init) but I'm not sure, should check. Some may have no alternative, e.g. glite-wms-...

edg

CanadaTier3SW:
edg-gridftp-exists        edg-job-cancel            edg-voms-proxy-destroy
edg-gridftp-ls            edg-job-get-chkpt         edg-voms-proxy-fake
edg-gridftp-mkdir         edg-job-get-logging-info  edg-voms-proxy-info
edg-gridftp-rename        edg-job-get-output        edg-voms-proxy-init
edg-gridftp-rm            edg-job-list-match        edg-voms-proxy-list

edg-job-attach            edg-job-submit            
wlcg-client:
edg-voms-proxy-destroy  edg-voms-proxy-info     edg-voms-proxy-list     
edg-voms-proxy-fake     edg-voms-proxy-init     
CanadaTier3SW provides some extra command, to evaluate

voms

CanadaTier3SW:
voms-admin          voms-proxy-destroy  voms-proxy-info     voms-proxy-list
voms-admin.py       voms-proxy-fake     voms-proxy-init     
wlcg-client:
voms-proxy-destroy  voms-proxy-info     voms-proxy-list     
voms-proxy-fake     voms-proxy-init     
CanadaTier3SW provides some extra command, to evaluate

xrootd

CanadaTier3SW:
xrd          xrdb         xrdcp        xrdgsiproxy  xrdpwdadmin  
wlcg-client:
xrd            xrdb           xrdgsiproxy    xrdsecgsitest  xrdstagetool   
xrdadler32     xrdcp          xrdpwdadmin    xrdsssadmin    
CanadaTier3SW has only the commands provided by ROOT (no separate xrootd client). wlcg-client setup does not include ROOT even if it is compatible with ROOT.
