glite-CREAM - Update to version 3.2.8-2.sl5


Date 10.11.10
Priority Normal

Description



glite-CREAM

New version of glite-CREAM

What's new

  • Fixed some problems in the new BLAH blparser for which in some cases jobs were wrongly reported as "lost" (done with reason 999)
  • Addressed a performance problem affecting the proxy renewal operation
  • PBS submission script created by BLAH is now compliant with newer versions of Torque wrt stagein/stageout directives (-W option)
  • CREAM sandbox dir is now relocatable also at yaim level
  • Other bug fixes

Installation and configuration

  • When updating, please use:

    yum update

    Please note that doing:

    yum update glite-CREAM

    you are not guaranteed to have all relevant RPMs updated.

  • (Re)configuration is needed after the installation/update.
  • If the new blparser is used (default option) it is just necessary to run yaim once (i.e. it is not necessary anymore to first configure the creamCE and then the BLparser). More information in: http://grid.pd.infn.it/cream/field.php?n=Main.CREAMAndBlparserConfiguration
  • With this patch, sudoers file is not scratched anymore. Instead all CREAM related stuff is removed from the sudoers file and CREAM related stuff is added in a separate file which is included from the "main" sudoers. When migrating to CREAM CE 1.6.3 from a previous release, if the list of supported VO is changed before reconfiguring via yaim it is suggested to run:

    /opt/glite/yaim/bin/yaim -r -s old-site-info.def -n glite-CREAM -f config_cream_clean_sudoers

    Otherwise the cleaning of the sudoers file won't work properly
