SAR Workshop Preparation Guide
	DØ Software All participants should have a working cluster (or at least one machine) with production release (p14.02 or higher) of the DØ software installed. They should also have a working SAM station. Remote MC Farm Operation Software Participating instutions who have not yet done so are encouraged to go through the setup for DØ Remote Analysis. If you encounter problems, OU and UTA team members will be available during the workshop for trouble shooting. Setup for MC Farm, see http://www-hep.uta.edu/~d0race/McFarm/McFarm.html Install Ganglia, a resource monitoring application, for online, real-time monitoring of your resources. The installation instructions can be found here. Allow UTA graphical display (McFarmGraph) access your site for updated MC job status display. Grid Software Install globus 2.2 or 2.4; see the updated globus installation instructions at http://www-hep.uta.edu/~d0race/McFarm/McFarm.html We recommend you install Condor as your batch system, if you plan to install one from scratch. Or better yet, install VDT 1.1.10, the Virtual Data Toolkit, which includes Globus, Condor, and Condor-G. Get familiar with SAMGrid/JIM, and try to get started with the installation at your institution. We will have a hands-on SAMGrid installation session at the workshop. Preparation info can be found at http://www-hep.uta.edu/~hyunwoo/utagrid.html. Specific Requirements for Remote MC Job Submission Demo Download a real MC production request from the central MC production site.
