These are the steps needed to setup a new Virtual Organization:

1. select the gCube infrastructure to join
2. decide the scope hierarchy, i.e. the name of the VO within the new infrastructure
3. identify at least 8 machines to turn on as gHNs (however, their number may vary depending on the VO needs). These machine will serve the needs for a typical exploitation scenario of the VO: (i) 3 machines for the enabling services, (ii) 3 machines for the VO services (Content Management, Indexes and Metadata Management), and (iii) then consider, 2 machines for each VRE that is expected to be deployed within the VO
4. prepare a Service Map file for the VO scope
5. install the VO Enabling Services:
   1. install gCore in 3 machines and copy the Service Map files under the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/config folder
   2. configure the first gHN to join to the VO scope and
      • deploy the IS-Collector and configure it to join the VO scope
   3. configure the second gHN as ROOT and to join to the VO scope and
      • deploy a IS-Registry instance and configure it to join the VO scope
      • deploy a IS-Notifier instance and configure it to join the VO scope
   4. configure the third gHN to join it to the VO scope and
      • deploy a VREModeler instance and configure it to join the VO scope
      • deploy a Resource Manager instance and a Resource Broker instance and configure them to join the VO scope
      • deploy a Software Gateway instance and configure it to join the VO scope; this is an optional step, since also the infrastructure level Software Repository can be joined to the new VO via the Resource Management tool
   5. start the 3 containers following the order of the deployments and verify that they work properly
