FTS Update for gLite 3.1
This FTS update, affecting glite-UI and glite-WN node types, provides various
new features and fixes several known bugs. For detailed information, please
follow the link of patch #1233 in the list of patches and see the sections
'Documentation' and 'Release notes'.
glite-yaim-core
The new version of glite-yaim-core (4.0.1-6) includes a series of new changes and several bug fixes.
New features:
- YAIM 4.0.1 offers now the following new options:
-- explain : Doesn't perform configuration but explains what the functions are doing by printing out the comments found inside them.
-- available : Prints out the available configuration targets.
-- debug : defines a loglevel, which overwrites the value of YAIM_LOGGING_LEVEL defined in site-info.def. Values: 1-7
- A warning message is printed out when the glite CE configuration is called. This version of yaim does no longer configure the glite CE since it's not
deployed in production.
- Special comments have been added to most functions to allow for the 'explain' option of the yaim command.
- Only SE_castor is now configurable from node-info.def. All the other node types distribute their configurations in the corresponding yaim module.
- GLITE_LOCATION_VAR, GLITE_LOCATION_LOG and GLITE_LOCATION_TMP are now defined by default in site-info.post
- convert_fqan is now safe against FQANs having no leading "/"
- config_gip has been modified to support the new 3.1 VOBOX
- config_initd has been improved
- Added support in config_mkgridmapdir to read grid/groupmapfile from env variables defined in <node-type>.pre
Removed features:
- config_glite_env just now deletes the old /etc/profile.d/gliteenv.sh since now all the environment should be defined in grid-env.sh
- config_gip_scheduler_plugin is now distributed in yaim lcg CE.
site-info.def changes:
- The following variables have been removed from site-info.def: RB_RLS
- The following variables are new in site-info.def: DPM_INFO_USER and DPM_INFO_PASS
- Variable SITE_HTTP_PROXY is commented out by default in site-info.def.
- Fix for bug #29403 where variable BATCH_LOG_DIR is defined again in site-info.def instead of BATCH_SPOOL_DIR.
- The default value of BDII_HTTP_URL has changed to http://lcg-bdii-conf.cern.ch/bdii-conf/bdii.conf and a comment has been included to check that the URL is actually correct.
Known issues:
- Fix for bug #27146 -> The implemented fix is not very clean and it will be improved in a future release. Read the bug comments for more details.
- Fix for bug #29403 -> Although BATCH_LOG_DIR has been reintroduced in site-info.def, it is not mentioned in any 'requires'. This has to be fixed.
glite-yaim-clients
The new version of glite-yaim-clients (4.0.1-1) contains:
- the new configuration for the 3.1 VOBOX.
- Fix for patch #1257 in the 3.1 UI.
- Fix for GGUS ticket #10533 in 3.1 WN.
- Fix for bug #28809 in the TAR UI.
The TORQUE clients are now distributed in its own yaim module called glite-yaim-torque-client.
Other Updates
- lcg-tags now features a more user-friendly error reporting by trapping the most common Globus errors.
It also tries to change the permissions of the directory containing the tag file and the permissions of the tag file
to decrease the chance to have permission problems when using pool accounts.
- A new version of lcg-info introduces support for VOViews, service and site information. Use the --list-attrs
option for a full list of the supported attributes.
Please also have a look at the list of known issues.
