Details about how they can be deployed and installed and configure the different are described in their respective toolkit installation manuals. Follow these manuals to install the whole BREIN Resource Management Framework. The following configuration instructions and changes are required in order to run all the RMF toolkits together.

Configuring the Resource Monitor to run with the SERA toolkit and different resource managers

The resource managers are specified in the file « /etc/VtM/rm.properties » specifying the scheduler address and the resource managers’ identifiers as « node » variables. The identifiers must follow this template

[js|vtmbrein]-<node_FQDN>

Configuring Resource Managers with the Notification Support toolkit

The configuration for using the N VtM Change variable « address » in the file « /etc/VtM/nb.properties»

Adding the Semantic Service Offer Discovery  in the RMF

The SSOD  can be included in and removed from the SERA toolkit using nodeUp  and nodeDown methods of the SRLM API, passing the FQDN of the SSOD  in the methods argument. This argument must follow this template

srb-<SSOD_FQDN>

A.1.1 Usage Instructions

The BREIN Resource Management Framework (RMF) provides a Service Provider wide resource allocation and job management infrastructure. It manages the execution of jobs in heterogeneous computational resources, such as virtualized resources and large clusters. It is able to detect, react to unexpected events such as failures and QoS degradation, recovering jobs from checkpointing, resubmitting and migrating jobs to new resources or outsourcing them to external resources. The resource management introduced by BREIN increases the SP reliability reducing penalties to the minimum.

The RMF is composed by 5 toolkits. The SERA toolkit acts as entry point for the users as well as provides the job management and resource allocation functionalities The JS, VRMM, and SRB toolkits provide, enables the execution and monitoring of customer jobs in different kind of resources. Finally, the Notification support is in charge of managing the notification of events delivering the produced messages to the components who has been subscribed to receive those messages.

The user interaction in the Resource Management Framework is performed through the SERA toolkit. Read the SERA usage instructions for interacting with the Resource Management Framework.

Next Figure gives an overview of the framework showing the toolkits which are involved and the relationships with other BREIN frameworks. Next paragraph will give an overview about this relationship and how to configure the RMF to enable this relationship.
