Birmingham CAGE Test Bench

A description of Cream ce /Argus/Glexec_wn/lcg-cE (CAGE) test installation at Birmingham.

Context

ALICE have requested Birmingham install a CreamCE, which should be able to submit jobs to all WNs supporting the ALICE VO. ATLAS does not support CreamCE submission yet, so the same WNs also need to accept jobs from a conventional lcg-CE.

ATLAS does support multi-user pilot jobs though, so the WNs must be able to execute glexec. Other GridPP? sites have tested this functionality in the context of an SCAS server. This test bench makes use of ARGUS to decide on authentication requests.

Installation

Installation of all test nodes is managed by the cfengine server on epgmo1. Below are instructions for completing the installation manaually.
