4 Overview Neville Smith

5 Second Data Centre (SDC) Update Barry Nugent

6 SDC Update The SDC will provide redundancy to Bureau operational IT support, so that in the event of an incident partially or fully disabling the Head Office Central Computing Facility (CCF), operational processes will be maintained in the SDC. The Bureau's previous Disaster Recovery Site (DRS) in Canberra had only limited facilities, and could not support the Bureau's operations in the event of an outage involving the CCF. The new facility aligns with the fourth objective of the Bureau Strategic Plan To modernise and extend the capability of our information and communication [infrastructure]. It positions the Bureau to develop a highly robust operational IT infrastructure, while providing a highly stable environment to house the new 140 Teraflop supercomputing systems and support infrastructure. The additional increase in cost allows for five times the facilities capacity from 85kW at the current facility (CDC) to 518kW at the SDC, this capacity is provided at a 50% reduction of the current cost for each kw and allows for immediate capacity available for mid-life HPC Upgrade and to meet the bureau's immediate compute needs.

7 SDC Update

8 Oracle Project Update Andrew McArthur

9 Oracle Project Scope Overview HPC system architecture and design documentation Hardware assembly and installation at site Installation of software Hardware testing of all components Perform acceptance testing Run benchmarks and record Solar II performance Provide training to cover changes to technology or functionality that is not contained in Solar

10 Oracle Project Roles and Responsibilities Document hardware design Document software design Oracle Install and assemble all racks and blades Install IB and Ethernet cabling within racks Install IB and Ethernet cabling between racks Implement provisioning system for infrastructure/ compute Install Applications as supported in existing Solar system Test environment to validate functionality, reliability and availability according to acceptance test plan Project management Acceptance Testing approach Risk and Issue approach Change Management Complete data centre design Bureau of Meteorology Ensure data centre layout to approved design Ensure data centre cooling to meet requirements Technical expertise to support timely decision making Installation of ILOM networking equipment and Ethernet cabling Provide temporary storage at data centre for receiving and install hardware Provide remote and onsite access to the data center as required Ensure power and cable tray design to meet power and cabling requirements Provide sign off according to agreed Quality Management approach

11 Oracle Project Timeline Implementation Timeline Month Feb Mar Apr May Jun Post Acceptance Test (dates to be confirmed) Planning Project Planning Monitor, Control, Report Design Hardware Design Build/Install Software Design Hardware Install Software Install Burn In Acceptance Test Accept Test Operational Readiness Application Porting Parallel Test

19 Oracle - Data Centre

20 Oracle - Software Note: As we are still in design phase the software is subject to minor change

21 /apps Environment Robin Bowen

22 Slash App Slides /apps on new HPC System - 2 Modules enable easy access to software packages and libraries /apps filesystem provides cross-platform access to these A single "module load" sets user path and environment variables for each package or library and sets all dependencies Same command on all systems using /apps and modules /apps on new HPC System - 2 On the HPC upgrade of Solar Users will get /apps by default in their environment All standard software packages and libraries will be installed under /apps, including compilers Module commands will remain same as on Solar All packages and libraries from Solar will be available but not all versions will be ported New system is using Linux 6.2 so some changes in the background

23 Slash App Slides /apps on new HPC System - 3 What will NOT be on the new system /g/sc/ophome/nmoc_share/local/nmoc_modules /opt/modulefiles Some versions of packages Versions of packages and libraries ported will be default and latest versions only, except for some special requirements. Disclaimer: /apps is a collaborative effort of NMOC and CAWCR staff with assistance of ITB staff. Support is business hours only except for NMOC staff dealing with Operational issues.
