glite-WMS - Update to version 3.1.29-0.slc4


Date 05.07.2010
Priority Normal

Description



glite-WMS

What's new
  • Integration of Condor v. 7.4.1 in particular:
    • to address the "Globus error 10: data transfer to the server failed" issue
    • to fix a hard-coded limit (100) on the number of concurrent DNs having jobs submitted
    • to be able to detect intermediate status changes for jobs submitted to nordugrid resources
  • Several bug fixes and improvements concerning ICE (in particular for job status changes detection)
  • Ability to forward parameters from the user specified JDL to the batch system through CREAM and BLAH. The JDL CERequirements attribute sent to the CREAM CE is partially evaluated (read "flattened") by the WM against the glue schema attributes specified as a list by the key "CeForwardParameters" in the WorkloadManager section of the WMS configuration file (see: http://grid.pd.infn.it/cream/field.php?n=Main.ForwardOfRequirementsToTheBatchSystem )
  • Many other bug fixes
Installation and configuration

  • When updating, please use "yum update".

    Please note that, with "yum update glite-WMS" you are not guaranteed to have all relevant RPMs updated.

  • (Re)configuration is needed after the installation/update. Please note that some changes in the wms conf file (implemented by yaim) are needed.
  • Before updating, please stop the gLite services (at least the ICE daemon: see bug #68944).
  • The new ICE requires to reset the ICE persist data, after updating it. To do that, first drain the WMS and then:
    • Stop ICE: /opt/glite/etc/init.d/glite-wms-ice stop
    • Check (with ps) that it is not running (in case kill it)
    • rm -Rf <ICE_persist_dir> (you get the name of this <ICE_persist_dir> doing:

      grep persist_dir /opt/glite/etc/glite_wms.conf)

    • Restart ICE: /opt/glite/etc/init.d/glite-wms-ice start
  • Added a new yaim variabile WMS_CONF_FILE_OVERWRITE=[true/false] If WMS_CONF_FILE_OVERWRITE=true, a backup copy of the glite_wms.conf file gets created in /opt/glite/etc/glite_wms.conf.bkp_xyz and the glite_wms.conf file gets overwritten If instead WMS_CONF_FILE_OVERWRITE=false, a new copy of the glite_wms.conf file gets created into /opt/glite/etc/glite_wms.conf.yaimnew_xyz, while the existing glite_wms.conf is not overwritten
