|
13.05.08 - 3.1 Update 22
This update contains multiple bug fixes in various areas.
Please see below for the individual service updates and list of patches.
Besides others, the following middleware service updates are included:
glite-WN (Worker Node for x86_64 architecture)
This version of the Worder Node is targeted to setup x86_64 machines in "compatibility" mode, i.e.
both 32bit and 64bit libraries are provided. The YAIM tool configures the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable
accordingly. The command to install the Worker Node is yum groupinstall as follows:
yum groupinstall glite-WN
In order to get both 32bit and 64bit libraries, both versions of certain rpms must be installed.
On a x86_64 machine yum resp. rpm usually installs the 64bit rpm over the 32bit package but
for certain rpms this seems not to be the case (for yet unknown reasons). It has been observed
that the following binaries are 32bit on the x86_64 Worker Node:
- /opt/lcg/bin/gfal_*
- /opt/lcg/bin/lcg-*
- /opt/lcg/bin/lfc-*
- /opt/glite/bin/glite-delegation-*
- /opt/glite/bin/glite-srm-*
- /opt/glite/bin/glite_data_catalog_*
- /opt/glite/bin/glite-transfer-*
However, this should not be a problem as 32bit binaries can be executed on a x86_64 machine.
This issue will be dealt with in future releases.
IMPORTANT: Sites using the tarball distribution must make sure that they have
the openldap-clients rpm installed.
dCache 1.8
There is a major dCache version change (1.7 => 1.8), adds support for SRM 2.2.

07.04.08 - 3.1 Update 18
This update contains multiple bug fixes in various areas.
Please see below for the individual service updates and list of patches.
Besides others, the following middleware service updates are included:
DPM 1.6.7-4 update
This update contains the new DPM version with the following bug fixes and new features:
- group writable directories when SRM started with umask 0
fixed bug #33769: incorrect pool free space after dpm-drain
- SRM v2 and SRMv2.2 new (fixed) behaviour when creating
subdirectories with srmMkdir.
There are two cases worth mentioning for srmMkdir:
- The parent directory in which the sub-directories are created do not have default ACLs.
In this case the umask of the SRM server matters.
- before this patch all sub-directories are created with permissions 0755 whatever value has the umask.
- with this patch, all sub-directories are created with permission 0755 if the default system umas is used (022) or 0775 if the umask in the SRM 2.2 startup script is set to 0.
- The parent directory in which the sub-directories are created have default ACLs specifying group writable. The umask is ignored in this case (Posix behaviour).
- before this patch, all sub-directories are created with permissions 0755
- with the patch, all sub-directories are created with the permissions set in the default ACL (0775) in our case.

[ YAIM ] glite-yaim-core 4.0.3-13 for gLite 3.1
|
08.02.08 - 3.1 Update 13
This update contains multiple bug fixes in various areas.
Please see below for the individual service updates and list of patches.
Besides others, the following middleware service updates are included:
gLite 3.1 dCache services
This update introduces the following gLite 3.1 dCache components for SL4 platform (32bit).
- glite-SE_dcache_admin_gdbm
- glite-SE_dcache_admin_postgres
- glite-SE_dcache_info

The update introduces the dcache-server version 1.7.0-47 with many
improvement and fixes. Some of them are presented in the following section.
For further details, please visit the dCache site:
http://www.dcache.org/
The new dCache version has added vector IO for ROOT, the HEP experimental framework, leading to a potential
factor of 12 improvement of performance over 1.7.0-38 for root users. The proxy component
at FTP doors used for passive FTP transfers was back ported from dCache 1.8. This reduces
memory consumption and fixes a bug with hanging FTP door instances in case of transfer timeouts.
Bug fix in advisory delete to prevent files remaining in the pool while being deleted from pnfs
namespace. More code to detect possible space miscalcution on pool partitions.
- fixed ftp doors cleanup
- fixed dcap door miscounting, in case of GSS authentication fails
- extra debug statement in poolManager
- correct reaction on fileNotExist
- fixed file descriptor leak in HSM connectivity
- Some finalization methods have been removed to improve JVM memory management.
- The disk space calculation of the various movers (dcap,ftp...) is now monitored.
- In case a restore from tape fails, the first retry will not be done on the same host.

Services for 64bit Scientific Linux 4 (x86_64)
This update introduces the first gLite services for the
64bit Scientific Linux 4 operating system, referenced as
x86_64, which are the glite-LFC services for MySQL and Oracle
backends.
It should also be noted that, from now on, the gLite metapackages will reflect the architecture,
for which they are released. The noarch architecture will no longer be used as the default
architecture. For example:
- glite-LFC_mysql for SL4/32bit (i386): glite-LFC_mysql-3.1.3-0.i386.rpm
- glite-LFC_mysql for SL4/64bit (x86_64): glite-LFC_mysql-3.1.3-0.x86_64.rpm
glite-LFC
This update introduces the first versions of the glite 3.1 (x86_64) glite-LFC_mysql
and glite-LFC_oracle services. Only fresh install is supported, and the services are
configured with the usual commands:
/opt/glite/yaim/bin/yaim -c -s /etc/yaim/site-info.def -n glite-LFC_mysql
/opt/glite/yaim/bin/yaim -c -s /etc/yaim/site-info.def -n glite-LFC_oracle
The necessary YAIM variables are described in the following document:
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/LFC_configuration_variables
In order to install the services, the following yum commands are needed:
yum install glite-LFC_mysql
yum install glite-LFC_oracle
LFC 1.6.8-1
The gLite LFC service has been updated to the version 1.6.8-1, which
introduces new bulk methods for lfc_getreplicasl and lfc_delreplicas. Test results for different
methods and bulk/non-bulk operations can be found here:
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/LFCBM
It is worth mentioning that the man page for lfc_getreplicasl is missing. However,
the next release will contain it. Please, see the related bug:
