XSEDE Resource Status - Adding Resources

Making a resource show up

A Service Provider must do the following for a resource to show up:

1. Obtain "Admin for Organization" access to the Resource Description Repository "RDR" (see the RDR User Guide).
2. Define an RDR Base Resource with:
   • Project Affiliation is "XSEDE"
   • Resource Status (**) is one of Friendly, Coming Soon, Pre-Production, Production, or Post-Production
3. Define at least one RDR Specific Resource for the above RDR Base Resource with:
   • Type is "compute" or "storage"
   • Resource Status (**) is one of Friendly, Coming Soon, Pre-Production, Production, or Post-Production

(**) The Resource Status of RDR Base and Specific Resources is based on whether the current date falls between the Status Begin Date and End Date.

All XSEDE registered resources from all SP Levels (1, 2, or 3) are shows whether allocated or not.

Once these steps are complete the resource should show up on XCSR Resource Status pages within 15 minutes.
