The LFC Client module has been added to the list of clients to be configured on the WN |
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 Service Discovery parameters for file-based discovery have been removed from the configuration file. File-based discovery is only supported for test or debugging. The normal mode of operation is based on R-GMA or BD-II discovery.
The gLite I/O WN module includes the following sub-modules:
- gLite Security Utilities
- gLite Service Discovery
- gLite R-GMA Client
- gLite DGAS Client
- gLite File Transfer Service Client
- gLite I/O Client
- WMProxy Client, VOMS clients and APIs
- LCF Client
The sub-modules are automatically installed with the WN module. For more information about these sub-modules please refer to the specific release notes and installation instructions.
The gLite Worker Node v. 2.3.0 is composed of the following gLite components (please refer to the individual release notes for the components installed with the clients using a dedicated module, such as the R-GMA Client or the LFC Client):
