dCache server v. 2.6.31 and dCache srmclient v. 2.2.27

Affected services

• affected service: dCache server, UI, WN

What's new:

• dCache server, v. 2.6.31
  • Webadmin
    • Fixes a regression that prevented the admin from deleting alerts in the alarm system.
    • Improve esthetics of the pool queue plot grid.
  • Pool
    • Fixes a problem where, under specific circumstances, a pool with a file's data will erroneously claim it does not have that file's data. This problem occurs only if an HTTP or xrootd client attempts to read a file immediately after uploading it; it does not affect other protocols. If a client triggers the problem then PnfsManager will remove the pool as the location of the file's data with two consequences: first, the file cannot be read; second, the orphaned entry will not be removed if the file is deleted. With this release, the problem is fixed; we recommend running the 'pnfs register' command on all pools as a precaution against orphaned entries.
  • Info-provider
    • Suppress publishing NFS door endpoints. Publishing these endpoints can result in sites failing functional tests since dCache running an NFS endpoint does not mean that files are accessible from the test machine.
  • For more details see dCache server 2.6.31 - Extended Release Notes
• dCache srmclient, v. 2.2.27
  • We fixed the export SRM_PATH bug in srmrmdir and the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when processing multiple surls invoking srmget.
  • For more details see dCache srmclient 2.2.22 - Extended Release Notes

Installation & Configuration

• Please notice that due to the change to jpnfs-0.0.5, all NFS clients (v3 and v4) have to unmount prior update.
• Please read the preliminary version of the Ultimate Golden Release Upgrade Guide carefully.
• for the dCache srmclient an "yum update" should update to the latest version
