NDPF GS environment

From PDP/Grid Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

The Grid Services environment contains nodes and virtual machines that run special or dedicated services for grid and grid-related work: web servers, the EUGridPMA Repository, the CA and RA systems, et cetera. These service nodes are ‘one-off’ systems, not under quattor control, installed separately, and updating themselves using yum or apt. They do not even all run the same OS version or flavour.

They mostly live on a separate network (194.171.96.64/28), and at the Remote Housing Location.

Decommissioned services

The following services have been decommissioned:

  • VO LDAP services at grid-vo.nikhef.nl
