FAIR

• Verbesserung gegenüber heute
• Primärstrahlintensität 100 1000 x
• Sekundärstrahlintensitäten
• für radioaktive Kerne bis 10 000x
• Ionenenergie 20 x
• Neu
• schnell gepulste supraleitende Magnete
• gekühlte Antiprotonenstrahlen
• bis 15 GeV
• Speziell
• intensive gekühlte Strahlen
• radioaktiver exotischer Kerne

IT

• Linux (Debian) 350
• (SUSE) few
• Windows 800
• AIX (reducing) 10
• plus bio physics 20
• VMS 15
• plus Accelerator controls (30)
• Notebooks
• Windows (XP)
• Linux (SUSE)
• Mass storage (3 libraries, TSM, TSM-API access)
• 2 SAN based (Storage Tek with LTO-2 tapes drives)

9
What is new

• Firewall (Cisco PIXS)
• Linux MTA (2-3) (migrate from AIX)
• Spam filtering (tagging) (Spamassassin)
• Virus checking (Sophos, ClamAV)
• Problems Siesta (20 min)
• enforce GSI e-mail naming convention
• (H.Kreiser_at_gsi.de)
• DNS Service migration to Linux (from AIX)
• connection timeouts on AIX

10
What is new

• new Fileservers with Serial ATA disc raids
• 3 U boxes with up to 15 discs
• Data
• Scratch
• Problems with old IDE disc raids
• new batchsystems (1 U boxes, Dual Xeon, 3.2 GHz)
• Windows migrate to XP, Server 2000/2003
• phase out WinNT (this year)

11
Systems
12
What is new

• Debian 3.0 r2
• non interactive daily security updates with
• out of the box debian tools
• monitoring system (mon)
• processes
• disc status
• log host (syslog-ng)
• perhaps box status
• GRID, LCG -gt need systems and support

13
What is to be done

• Migration of services from AIX to Linux
• radius
• listserv
• NIS (sign on, LDAP based)
• ..
• Groupware (mailserver) discussion
• Microsoft Exchange 2003
• OCS (Oracle collaboration suite)
• separate discussion forum (FUD forum, open
  source)
• Discussion new Batch queueing system
• LSF production (money)
• SGE
• OpenPBS
• if money is available
• replace old batchfarm boxes
• new and much more storage systems (user, data,
  scratch) SAN/FC ?
• 10 TByte is too small
• good Linux desktop support -gt manpower ??
