Allocation of VMs for ROSE course #1307

Closed reihl closed 4 months ago

reihl commented 5 months ago

Hi, I would like your help with the allocation of 25 OpenShift based VMs. The VMs are needed for a course taking place next week. It is a course similar to the previous ROSE course, where a similar allocation was done several months ago. I'm attaching a link for a discussion regarding the previous ROSE allocation: (450)[https://github.com/CCI-MOC/ops-issues/issues/450] This request is same to (620)[https://github.com/CCI-MOC/ops-issues/issues/620] apparently the server from the last week was deleted yesterday. Thanks in advance, Rei

Our data center is currently down due to the scheduled annual power shutdown at the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC) in Holyoke. This shutdown is from May 22, 2023, at 8:00 AM ET to May 28, 2023, at 8:00 PM ET.

The Mass Open Cloud has also been replaced by the New England Research Cloud (NERC). I am sorry for the difficulty this may cause the work you are doing on ROSE. This means we will need to work with a different set of systems to continue supporting the ROSE project, and this may take a bit of effort today, tomorrow, and next week.

Could you please explain a detail you mentioned in the ticket? "Apparently, the server from last week was deleted yesterday."

Hi @msdisme , Thanks for your reply. As moving to NERC, do you think we shall have our environment ready by the beginning of the course? Is there something else needed from our side? If it's possible, and to make things easier, we wish the "new env" to be the same as the "old env" we had last year, although the platform was changed.

I believe that by saying

"Apparently, the server from last week was deleted yesterday."

@reihl meant the project was closed and no longer accessible: https://github.com/CCI-MOC/moc-openshift-projects/pull/35

Let us know the timing please.

Course critical dates are July 21st-25th. We'd like to have the VMs before, so students would be able to explore it a bit. If VMs will be available ~ July 14th it will be awsome! WDYT?

Kindly reminder @msdisme

@joachimweyl Thank you! Do you think you can fulfill this request?

Hello @reihl, This is something you can setup yourself now that the NERC exists. It will be 25 VM's in OpenStack instead of OpenShift as NERC does not have OpenShift virtualization. Please follow the instructions here to create your NERC PI account and the once that is created you can spin up whatever VM's you need.

@reihl - just checking in to make sure that you are set

Hi Rel. I don't believe ROSE has a budget to cover MOC expenses currently. I can approve the resources for the course today, but I need to know how your group will pay for them, because this was not included in our research budget. MOC charges are here: https://nerc-project.github.io/nerc-docs/get-started/cost-billing/how-pricing-works/

added comment to https://mghpcc.supportsystem.com/scp/tickets.php?id=9994#note and https://mghpcc.supportsystem.com/scp/tickets.php?id=9988#note to say we will cover the cost for the July course, please let us know how you will pay for future use.

Team set up, need to follow up with details on how they may pay in the future. Closing and tracking that with Nancy in a different workstream (not github)
