Tuesday, May 20, 2003 - Some quick notes

[Mary Fritsch]

____________________ATTENDEES
Attendees and their status of using AG 2.0 software:

ANL

ANL-DSL
Melissa mentioned that the DSL node will be going to 2.0 and may use exclusively linux to run it, but still multi-machines.  She has popped in most of the tests.

BNL (mud only, but testing 2.0 during meeting)
Questioned that it took a long time to move between venues.  

LBNL
Since Lloyd received the email with his certification, Tom asked him to get his laptop and walk through where exactly it should be placed.  He successfully copied the cert, updated expiration, and got to join of venue clients.

NDSU (mud only, multicast problems)
Getting invalid URL when trying to go to a venue.  Suzanne jumped in to suggest that machines should be time sync'd to a server, this is required by some of the prerequisite like Globus.  Tom elaborated on the reasoning behind this requirement, explaining that if you ask your computer to have proxy expire in 8 hours, it needs to care about time syncing.

MORE POSSIBLE FAQs TO ADD  :) _____________________
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/fl/research/accessgrid/about/faq.html
What part of the certificate do I move? Both userkey and cert.
Where should this be copied to?  documentsandsettings/user/application data/globus/
How long should I create my grid proxy for (default is 8 hours)?  
Time synchronization of AG machines?  This was always requested with 1.0, but not required.
