Use Case title: Adding a new NGI/EGI site
Short description: This use case presents a situation in which a new site is applying for participation in grid infrastructure. The site has some resources to be shared in grid environment. This procedure covers steps that need to be taken at NGI and EGI level. We foresee that NGI and EGI will have their own rules on which a new site is allowed to join the grid infrastructure. These rules may form a Service Level Agreement (SLA) which is signed as the site joins the infrastructure. We assume that all EGI resources are bound with NGI resources, but some NGI resources may not participate in EGI infrastructure.
Actors involved: RC operator - person responsible for the site, RC manager, NGI operator, EGI operator
Pre-conditions (optional): Hardware at the site is ready. NGI and EGI rules (SLAs) for sites are ready.
Steps:
- The RC manager asks the NGI operator for guidelines and requirements (SLA) to join the NGI infrastructure as well as EGI infrastructure
- The RC operator sets up the necessary services
- The RC manager signs requirements (SLA).
- The NGI operator checks if the site complies with the EGI requirements (SLA) and if so, accepts (certifies) the site for the EGI infrastructure
- (optional) The EGI operator confirms the site in the EGI infrastructure
Post-conditions (optional): A new site with its resources contributes to the NGI infrastructure and to the EGI infrastructure.
