Outline

This is a preliminary outline of the ETICS Service Deployment HowTo:

• DeploymentPreparation: what you need in advance
  • hardware (server nodes, WNs, disk, etc.)
    • CERN: All the hardware is present in the CERN Computer Center.
      
    • INFN
    • UoW
      
  • network requirements (firewalls, etc.)
    • FirewallPorts
      
  • CA/host/user certificates?
    • The CERN CA provides the required certificates upon request.
      
• DeploymentInstallation: all install information
  For simple ETICS deployment:
  • Condor
  • NMI
  • MySQL
  • httpd
  • Tomcat
  • Apache port redirector
  • CA
  • Build-System WebService
  • Build-System WebApplication

• DeploymentConfiguration: all configuration information
  For simple ETICS deployment:
  • Condor
  • NMI
  • MySQL
  • httpd
  • Tomcat
  • CA (need to add the testing certs, for tutorial and testing)
  • Build-System WebService
  • Build-System WebApplication

• DeploymentIssues: issues to consider
  • security
  • roles
• ServiceAdministration: another task for another time... but linked from here
  • NMI archive disk cleaner
  • Root space usage
    

• Upgrade procedure
  • Stop the ETICS production service
  • Migrate the DB
    • Migrate metadata
    • Update the certificates in the new production machine DB
    • Migrate the NMI DB??
    • Migrate the myproject DB?? (Do we really want fake projects in the production DB?) - (yes MebSter)
  • Move the NMI Worker Nodes to the new production machine
  • Start all the services
  • Verify everything works fine:
    • Connect to the different services (WS, WebApp, repositoryBrowser, reportBrowser, NMI interface, ...)
    • Test it (building locally/remotely, registering artefacts, editing, etc ...)
  • Sync the DNS

When helpful, existing content should be copied from the D2.2 document and updated.
