Note: There are several non procurement activities being proposed internally for the improvement of this environment. The lists below do not constitute the full list of changes to the environment. 

New Service Activities

Note: If your name appears below, it is because I have had, or plan to have, conversation with you this month to finalize the planning.

  1. DAQ test stand deployment @ NCSA (John Gregg Thayer)
    1. Requirements gathered from SLAC Camera Workshop (here)
    2. Test stand network diagram (here)
    3. Test stand is a 3U system with 10Gb fiber and 1GbE for management
    4. Procurement to include 1x 1U/2U node with 2x 10Gb fiber, 1x 1GbE, sufficient disk for NFS export
  2. Physical hardware for known-latency networking testing for L1 orchestration (James Parsons)
    1. 2017 Procurement Thoughts
  3. Data Backbone components in support of L1, L2, development and functional demonstration
  4. Firefly servers setup for pipeline developers to access/display/visualize data produced by pipeline during development (Unknown User (xiuqin))
  5. SUIT development and build environment. After PDAC deployment, we should not use the PDAC servers to test different configuration and software upgrade any more. We need a similar environment to develop/test for PDAC v2. (Unknown User (xiuqin))
  6. Security infrastructure for Chilean base center 
    1. Bro installation
    2. Firewall installation
    3. LDAP infrastructure
  7. NCSA - Chicago dedicated network link including addition security infrastructure at NPCF
  8. Prototype Data Access Center Expansion (Kian-Tat Lim, Gregory Dubois-Felsmann, Fritz Mueller, Unknown User (xiuqin))
    1. Additional data (HSC? DECaLS?)
    2. QA effort (Gregory Dubois-Felsmann, Robert Lupton)
    3. Interactive access (SSH?, JupyterHub?)
    4. Elastic expansion 
    5. Storage space for user workspace (Unknown User (xiuqin))

Service Improvement Activities

  1. Cluster test environment
    1. Environment for test deployment and vetting of services and enhancements without interruption to production
  2. High Available Cluster Services 
    1. Redundant components as needed (ex failover provisioning node, monitoring node, bastion nodes)

Replacement Service Activities

The following hardware is being replaced

  1. lsst10/lsstdb
  2. lsst-dbdev[1-6]

Contingent Service Activities

These procurement activities are common capacity management items. They are not officially planned until current service usage reach high water marks. High water marks are determined through a combination of resource consumption rate and estimated length of the procurement activity.

  1. Nebula Storage and Compute Expansion
    1. Alert distribution scale testing (new work)
    2. L2 orchestration development (new work)
  2. GPFS Storage Expansion
  3. LSST Compute Expansion
    1. L2 orchestration (new work)
    2. Development activities
  4. Additional cluster head nodes (aka lsst-dev)

Decommissioning Service Activities

  1. The following hardware is being retired
    1. lsst-suidev[1-2]
    2. lsst-stor14[1-4], lsst[13,20] (NFS systems)
