gLite Computing Element
This release contains the gLite Computing Element module v. 2.2.7. The following sections provide additional information about the release content, the module dependencies, the know bugs and issues and a list of bugs closed since the previous release. For information about installing and using the gLite Computing Element, please refer to the gLite Installation and User Guides.
The following new parameters have been added to the glite-ce.cfg.xml file:
|
Parameter name |
Default value |
Description |
|
rgma.servicetool.activate |
true |
Turn on/off R-GMA Service Publishing for the CE services. [Example: true ] [Type: 'boolean'] |
|
dgas.client.enabled |
true |
This variable allows configuring the dgas client in the CE. It can be true or false. [Example: true][Type: boolean] |
|
create.sgm.account |
true |
If this parameter is set to true, the sgm accounts are created using values from the VO configuration file. [Example: true][Type: boolean] |
The following parameters have been changed in the glite-ce.cfg.xml file:
|
Parameter name |
Old value |
New value |
Description |
|
cemon.cetype |
|
|
This parameter now takes also the value ‘condor’ to configure the CE with Condor as a batch system |
All parameters used to set VO-specific values have been removed from the service configuration files and moved to a dedicated VO configuration file called vo-list.cfg.xml. A template is available in /opt/glite/etc/config/templates. This file is common to all gLite services running on this node or referenced in the same site-config file (unless locally overridden). For more information please refer to the gLite 1.5 installation guide.
The R-GMA Service Publisher (aka R-GMA servicetool) parameters are now automatically handled by the configuration script and do not need to be explicitly set anymore in the configuration file. The parameters can be set in the configuration file to override the default values.
The gLite Computing Element module requires the following sub-modules:
- gLite Security Utilities
- gLite R-GMA Servicetool
- gLite R-GMA GIn
- gLite DGAS Client
The sub-modules are automatically installed with the CE module. For more information about these sub-modules please refer to the specific release notes and installation instructions.
If the CE node should be used with the Torque PBS batch system, the gLite Torque Client module can also be installed. Otherwise, a suitable LRMS client must be installed.
