Use SAM to test dual-stack services |
|
This can be done already now; no change is required |
Run the central Nagios on a dual-stack node |
|
This tests the ability of Nagios to run in dual-stack and is a prerequisite to submit tests over IPv6 |
Understand, for the SAM tests run by Nagios, how to force them to use IPv6 (or IPv4 when applicable) on dual-stack or IPv6-only endpoints |
Understand if Condor-G can handle a mixture of IPv4 and IPv6 CE endpoints |
|
This is required for the job submission tests to work in a mixed environment; if not possible, a dedicated SAM infrastructure using only IPv6 will be needed |
Understand if the messaging system works with producers running on IPv6 WNs |
|
This is required for IPv6-only worker nodes to be able to publish test results |
Understand if the CREAM/ARC-CE/gfal2 clients can work via IPv6 |
|
This is needed for all the other job submission tests and the basic storage tests |
Deploy a dedicated SAM infrastructure for IPv6 validation |
|
This is needed to achieve the first of the goals stated above |
Run tests from "representative" VOs |
|
Currently the choice would be: ATLAS or CMS for Condor-G, LHCb for CREAM, ALICE for ARC-CE, ATLAS for gfal2 |
