MDS 2.4: To Join the Index of VOs - Public GIIS

More info about this GIIS can be found here.

There are two ways that resources will be included in the public vo-index, one of which requires coordination with us, the other you can do unilaterally at anytime (we control this with MDS registration policies).

To add your resources, edit the grid-info-resource-register.conf file of the GRIS or GIIS you want to register, using the following configuration info:

dn	Mds-Vo-Op-name=register, Mds-Vo-name=Guest, o=Grid
reghn	giis.globus.org
regport	2135
regperiod	600
ttl	1800

For larger more structured vo's that want to be listed in this index, we will upon request, change the public GIIS registration policy enabling your index to be listed directly under the root vo (vo-index), as opposed to being registered under the Guest vo. In this case, the grid-info-resource-register.conf settings will be as follows:

dn	Mds-Vo-Op-name=register, Mds-Vo-name=vo-index, o=Grid
reghn	giis.globus.org
regport	2135
regperiod	600
ttl	1800

You can add individual hosts, or aggregate your hosts into a local index node, then add your index node to the public giis. We prefer the latter if you are registering more than one host.

Note: If the system you are trying to register is behind a device that does Network Address Translation, or a device that blocks tcp port 2135, there will be problems.

Note: The Grid defined by the public giis is intended to be a resource discovery Grid only, with no systems accepting compute jobs, data transfers, or any Globus Tookit functionality beyond resource discovery.
