A file-based service discovery instance template has been added to the gLite I/O Client configuration file template. The instance has to be used if file-based service discovery is required, otherwise it can be removed if R-GMA or BD-II service discovery is used.
The gLite I/O Client module requires the following sub-modules:
- gLite Security Utilities
- gLite Service Discovery
- gLite R-GMA Client (to be installed manually if R-GMA service discovery is used)
The sub-modules are automatically installed with the I/O Client module unless differently specified. For more information about these sub-modules please refer to the specific release notes and installation instructions.
