In order to connect to ARC infrastructure you have to register to some of the ARC Indexing services.

Indexing services are:
Classic ARC GIIS:
  • ldap://arc-emi.grid.upjs.sk:2135/O=Grid/Mds-Vo-Name=ARC-EMI

Every Classic ARC service (cluster and storage) has to register to indices. To register a cluster or a storage resource to the index service you need put a similar registration blocks in your arc.conf and restart the grid-infosys. Change only the bold texts to suit your setup.


#cluster registration block
[infosys/cluster/registration/clustertoARC-EMI]
targethostname="arc-emi.grid.upjs.sk"
targetport="2135"
targetsuffix="mds-vo-name=ARC-EMI,o=grid"
regperiod="120"

In order to check your registration you can use the following command:

ldapsearch -h arc-emi.grid.upjs.sk -p 2135 -x -b 'mds-vo-name=ARC-EMI,o=grid' -s base giisregistrationstatus

WS-ARC ISIS Cloud (layout here)

List of info registrers:

  • http://arc-emi.grid.upjs.sk:60000/isis
  • http://pgs03.grid.upjs.sk:60000/isis
  • http://lem.grid.niif.hu:60002/isis
  • http://asimov.grid.niif.hu:60002/isis

Every WS-ARC service needs to be registered to an ISIS Cloud through some of the ISIS services. In order to register your WS-ARC service add similar registration block to your "service".xml file:

<infosys:InfoRegister>
  <infosys:Period>PT75S/infosys:Period>
  <infosys:Endpoint>"your service endpoint"</infosys:Endpoint>
  <infosys:Expiration>PT1M/infosys:Expiration>
  <infosys:Registrar>
   <URL>http://arc-emi.grid.upjs.sk:60000/isis/URL>
   <Retry>4</Retry>
  </infosys:Registrar>
</infosys:InfoRegister>

Or insert into your "service".ini file following lines:

[register]
index_server1=http://arc-emi.grid.upjs.sk:60000/isis

["service type"]
endpoint="your service endpoint"

In order to check your registration you can use the following command:


isistest -i http://arc-emi.grid.upjs.sk:60000/isis -m Query "/RegEntry"
