Notes on the second set of updates to gLite 3

A new set of updates to gLite 3.0 has been released. This represents many bugfixes and Glue 1.2 support for the gLite WMS.

A list of bugs fixed is available at the end of this announcement. Please read the following notes before installing or upgrading.

Node specific information and known issues

All 'known issues' noted here are being addressed by the relevant developers.

WMS

LCMAPS logs problem

Please run the following after configuring a WMS 

# touch /var/log/glite/lcmaps.log
# chown glite.glite /var/log/glite/lcmaps.log

Environment

See bug 19102 for information on a log_monitor issue.

Dependencies

https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=18375

You may have to remove the glite-security-voms rpm from the WMS

UI

/tmp/glite/glite-ui/ has to be writable by any user. 

chmod a+w /tmp/glite/glite-ui/

Relocatable distribution

Please find new instructions on installing the relocatable release here

Note that the dependencies should now be untarred in the top level ($INSTALL_ROOT).

A new tarball is currently being tested (as of 18/08/06) which will fix a number of problems, including the fetch-crl issue discovered recently. We recommend waiting for this release.

dCache

Note that nfs_utils is required on a dcache SE but is not currently one of the dependencies. Please install this rpm separately.

FTS

Please see bug 19069 for an edit to node-info.def before configuring

glite-CE

This set of updates does not contain any glite-CE changes; these notes are for reference.

Logging

Extra steps are required for full logging on the glite CE;

The first involves creating a configuration file for blah, /opt/glite/etc/blah.config, with the following contents 

BLAHPD_ACCOUNTING_INFO_LOG=/var/log/glite/accounting/blahp.log
and then 
mkdir /var/log/glite/accounting
chmod u+s /opt/glite/bin/BDlogger

At present there is no version APEL available which is compatible with these logs.

gLite CE and TORQUE server has problems with gridmapfile generation.

Please run the following rather than combining the node-types in one command; 

/opt/glite/yaim/scripts/configure_node site-info.def gliteCE
/opt/glite/yaim/scripts/configure_node site-info.def TORQUE_server

TORQUE server doesn't always start

https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=17586

If configuring a torque server, please ensure the server is running; 

# /etc/init.d/pbs_server start
before running yaim's configure_node script.

VOtag publishing

https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=10872

Please create the approprate directories under 

/opt/edg/var/info
One for each VO, owned by the sgm.

Also create /etc/sysconfig/edg; 

EDG_LOCATION=/opt/edg
EDG_LOCATION_VAR=/opt/edg/var

Problem if CE_DATADIR="" (default)

Due to bug

https://savannah.cern.ch/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=18328

the glite-CE configuration the lcg-info-static-ce.ldif file is not created correctly if in the site-info.def file the CE_DATADIR="" (default). The fix is, incase the ce_datadir id not defined to put: CE_DATADIR=unset to the site-info.def file.

Running a separate TORQUE server

  • Run the following on the torque server (BLParserPBS is from glite-ce-blahp) 
      /opt/glite/bin/BLParserPBS -p 33332 -s /var/spool/pbs
  • Insert gLite CE hostname into /etc/hosts.equiv on torque server
  • On WNs put gLite CE hostname into /opt/edg/etc/edg-pbs-knownhosts.conf and run /opt/edg/sbin/edg-pbs-knownhosts (it will run as cron later anyway)

Reconfiguration

A reconfiguration is recommended on the following nodes after an update;

  • glite-WMSLB
  • glite-FTS
  • relocatable distro (please see the Notes)

CAs

Note that in later versions of yaim, the default repository for CAs has changed 

CA_REPOSITORY="rpm http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/ LCG-CAs/current production"

In a standard configuration, you can just put this value in the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/lcg-ca.list if you don't want to rerun yaim.

Other information

An updated port table for gLite is available, managed under CVS;
