VO Services Deployment and Configuration

Services Deployment

This task offers a user interface that looks like the monitoring one. The VO Manager has to select the GHNs and the Services he/she wants to deploy on the nodes. GHNs that can be selected for deployment are those typed in bold in the Resource Browser panel, i.e., those made available by the local administrator according to institution policy or other reasons. Instead, all Services can be selected.

The selection/deselection of one GHN or Service can be done using the button on the header of Profile Visualizer panel. When a GHN or a Service is selected, it is inserted into the "Selected Resource Tree". This tree can be browsed as the "Available Resource Tree". This allows the user to have a sort of basket to check the selected resources in each moment. For each selected GHN an additional entry is presented on the Resource Visualizer panel. In particular it is presented as Running Instances On <Name of Selected GHN> entry. Clicking on it, the Resource Browser panel lists the already available Running Instances on that GHN. This allows the administrator to evaluate a GHN. For example, the administrator can decide if the selected GHN is the proper one to host new Service[s] deployment.

When at least one GHN and one Service are selected a Deploy button appears on the left panel.

Clicking on it the deploy process starts after a confirmation request has been fulfilled.

During the deployment the status is presented in the profile visualizer panel. The status is refreshed until the process is completed with a failure or with a success.
