New version of FTS

Fix for bug #59955: FTS: agent crash when picking up a job (glite-data-agents-common v1.1.1-1 2009-12-08)

Fix for bug #60095: FTS: Couldn't set the private key (glite-data-transfer-fts v3.7.0-3 2010-01-18)

Updates for more liberal checksum handling and to relax requirements on how long an SRM TURL is kept valid.

Finalization of the checksum support.

The database schema has changed, one has to follow the instructions of the Yaim script to do the upgrade.

The ABI between the transfer-agents and transfer-url-copy has changed, so one has to stop and drain the channels before doing an upgrade.

New version of grid-cm-* packages to remove /opt/glite/lib/python/logging. This is to address GGUS ticket 50148, only happening in glite-WN version 3.1.18-0. In fact this private logging version was only ever required on SL3 and can cause problems for people using private python 2.5 versions with the supplied 2.3 versions.

• Warnings and errors are now counted. If there are errors in the download or verification process for one or more CRLs, the exit status will be 1; if there are errors in the local setup or in the script invocation, the exit status will be 2.
• The installed CRLs no longer have the textual representation of the CRL, but only the PEM data blob, thus reducing IO and memory requirements.
• the CRL aging threshold is now set by default to 24 hours. The previous default was 0. The CRL aging threshold is set in the config file using CRL_AGING_THRESHOLD=<xx>, or with the "-a" command-line argument.
• Default network timeouts reduced to 10 seconds (was 30) and retries to 2.
• Added caching and conditional downloading. When CACHEDIR is set, the original downloads are preserved and wget timestamping mode enabled. When the content did not change, only the timestamp on the installed CRL is updated. If SLOPPYCRLHASHES is set, the has is calculated based on the name of the crl_url file, otherwise it is taken from the CRL itself.
• The CACHEDIR must be exclusively writable by the user running fetch-crl.
• Setting CACHEDIR significantly reduced the bandwidth used by fetch-crl.
• Added RESETPATHMODE setting in sysconfig. It defines whether or not to set re-set $PATH to "/bin:/usr/bin" before start. The search for OpenSSL may be done based on the old path. yes=always replace; searchopenssl=search for openssl first and then reset; no=keep original path, whatever that me be (may be empty if called from cron) Default="yes". This replaces the hard-coded path in the tool!
• Hidden "FORCE_OVERWRITE" option now has a regular name. This is backwards-compatible. Set FORCE_OVERWRITE=yes if you want files overwritten that have a CRL-like name and ought to have CRL content, but currently do not.

• gSOAP 2.7.10 has introduced a virtual destructor, which inserts a pointer to the VMT at the beginning of the 'soap' structure, making the C and C++ versions of the code binary incompatible, so we need to build C++ flavour of the libraries as well with _cpp suffix.
• Added new function, export_delegated_credentials(), to make a delegated credential token available in memory suitable for storage and later reuse by the user.
• Removed some spurious trailing newlines from error messages.
• Fixed descriptor and connection leak on the client side when the authenitcation negociation to a server fails.
• Enhanced some error messages to cover more of the error message recommendations in bug #35320.

29.04.1009 - 3.1 Update 45

glite-WN

Addition of the glite-wn-info command
============================

The glite-wn-info command is designed to be executed on the WN by a job submitter. It returns information about that worker node in a grid context. Initially the following in particular is supported:

$ glite-wn-info -n GlueSubClusterUniqueId MySubCluster

The unique GlueSubCluster the batch worker is located in is returned.

The configuration file default location is ${GLITE_LOCATION:-/opt/glite}/etc/glite-wn-info.conf.

However the hard coded location /etc/glite-wn-info.conf is also supported and will override $GLITE_LOCATION/etc/glite-wn-info.conf. This last configuration is particularly useful to sites working with the a TAR_WN and allows them to configure their WNs individually.

YAIM support for glite-wn-info:

• A new function, config_wn_info, will create the configuration file needed by glite-wn-info. Please, check the description of the WN_LIST variable in the YAIM guide since a new syntax has been introduced to be able to configure glite-wn-info. More details in the relevant section of the YAIM guide.
• A new default YAIM variable has been introduced for the WN/TAR WN configuration to define the glite-wn-info configuration file. WN_INFO_CONFIG_FILE. Since a default value is provided, the sys admins don't need to worry about it unless they want a non standard configuration. More details in: section on WN variables in the YAIM guide.

Major release of GFAL 1.11.4 and lcg_util 1.7.2
======================================

• failover to other replicas, if an SE is not available
• adjustable timeouts for each type of remote operation
• SULR canonicalization can be disabled (for VOs without BDII)
• improved Python interface (Posix I/O, error handling)
• checksum is displayed in lcg-ls
• accepting negative request ID (dCache)
• using single gridftp session (CASTOR)
• obsoletes RMC/LRC functionality (not removed yet)
• and a number of bug fixes
• lcg-del fails when specifying the LFN and the SE, a simple workaround consists in specifying the corresponding SURL.

Updates for YAIM
=============

This release contains an update for yaim clients and yaim core. Both have been updated from version 4.0.5 to version 4.0.7, but they contain also all the bug fixes made available in 4.0.6. The release pages only highlight the bugs fixed in yaim core 4.0.7. If you also want to know the list of bugs fixed in 4.0.6, please look at the list of attached bugs in the yaim core patch (#2636) and yaim client patch (#2757).

Summary of the bug fixes
The most relevant bug fixes due to the severity of the bug (major or critical) are:

• #43278: config_users is now always creating the cleanup-grid-accounts cron job, no matter i f CONFIG_USERS is yes or no.

• UNPRIVILEGED_MKGRIDMAP: In case you want to create a grid-map file which only contains mappings to ordinary users. Values are 'yes' or 'no'. 'no' will create a grid-map file with special users as well, if defined in groups.conf. yes, will create a grid-mapfile containing only mappings to ordinary pool accounts. This variable is defined in site-info.pre. Default is 'no'. You can redefine it in your site-info.def.
• BDII_LIST: This variable already appeared in the previous yaim core release 4.0.5-7. However, due to a bug it was recommened not to use it. It's an optional variable to define a list of top level BDIIs to support the automatic failover in the GFAL clients. The syntax is my-bdii1.$MY_DOMAIN:port1[,my-bdii22.$MY_DOMAIN:port2[...]]. Be aware that lcg-infosites doesn't work with multiple BDIIs. So it's better you don't define this variable if you need to use lcg-infosites. However gfal, lcg_utils, lcg-info and glite-sd-query work fine with multiple BDIIs.
• SE_MOUNT_INFO_LIST: This YAIM variable is used to set the GlueCESEBindMountInfo attribute for each defined SE. The variable is a space separated list of SE hosts from SE_LIST with the export directory from the Storage Element and the mount directory common to worker nodes part of the Computing Element like SE1:export_dir1,mount_dir1. If any SE from SE_LIST doesn't support the mount concept, don't define anything for that SE in this variable. If this is the case for all the SEs in SE_LIST, put the value 'none'. The GlueCESEBindMountInfo will be in both cases 'n.a'.

• fetch-crl runs now on reboot. A init.d script has been created for it.
• Tomcat configuration is now defined in yaim core to be used by all the modules that need tomcat.
• grid-env.sh doesn't leave garbage in the environment. It's also possible to run the -r option in the yaim command without messing up the grid-env.sh file.
• Old lcas/lcmaps configuration files are no longer created in config_mkgridmap.
• Multiple BDIIs can now be defined for GFAL clients. See the section above for the description of BDII_LIST.
• Update of yaim clients in order to avoid duplication of PYTHONPATH/PERL5LIB definitions.
so that the grid environment has coherent values for 32bit and 64bit platforms.
• With the previous yaim core version, PYTHONPATH/PERL5LIB used to contain a mix of 32bit and 64bit grid libraries after configuring a node type (specially WNs). This is wrong since Python/perl, unlike the dynamic linker, seems not to be able to find the good library when 32bit and 64bit libraries appear in PYTHONPATH/PERL5LIB.The fix consists of:
  • If the machine is 64bit and middleware is 64bit, PYTHONPATH/PERL5LIB only contains 64bit paths.
  • If the machine is 64bit and middleware is 32bit, PYTHONPATH/PERL5LIB only contains 32bit paths.
  • If the machine is 32bit, PYTHONPATH/PERL5LIB only contains 32bit paths.
• Python version specific directories have also been added in PYTHONPATH when they are installed.
• A typo has also been fixed in config_mkgridmap so that the grid-map file generation for LFC and DPM works fine now.
• The .lsc files (files specifying the trusted VOMS servers with their DNs and CA DNs) are now created in the tarball configurations.

27.03.2009 - 3.1 Update 42

 

Description

This update can be summarised as: new version of lcg-vomscerts, BDII, WN, FTS and FTA updates, and finally new version of VDT. Please check below for more details on the individual service updates and list of patches.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This update has priority HIGH for the lcg-vomscerts patch. The other patches have priority NORMAL.

glite-FTA_oracle, glite-FTS_oracle, glite-LFC_mysql, glite-LFC_oracle, glite-SE_dpm_disk, glite-SE_dpm_mysql, glite-WN

- New version of lcg-vomscerts-5.4.0: it adds next certificate for lcg-voms.cern.ch (old one expires on 07/04/2009); and removes old certs of cclcgvomsli01.in2p3.fr and vo.racf.bnl.govi.

glite-FTS_oracle, glite-LFC_mysql, glite-LFC_oracle, glite-SE_dcache_info, glite-SE_dpm_mysql




- Upgrade of BDII. The main change is that the starting cache size used for the Berkeley Database in the BDII has been reduced from 1 GB to 50 MB. This should significantly reduce the memory footprint and still provide the necessary performance.

- DB_CONFIG now has "set_lk_max_locks 10000" (10k) to fix GGUS ticket 43230 ("gLite 3.1u34: lcg-cp failing on a BDII error in a MPI job").

glite-FTA_oracle, glite-FTS_oracle, glite-LFC_mysql, glite-LFC_oracle, glite-SE_dpm_disk, glite-SE_dpm_mysql, glite-WN

- New version of VDT that introduces GridFTP2 support.

glite-WN

- Which is added as a dependency in the WN.

glite-FTS_oracle

- FTS job submission sometimes ends up with an invalid delegated proxy certificate in the FTS service, thus transfers will fail. This update fixes the FTS web service's delegation code that the delegated proxy certificates should not be corrupted.

The fix is transparent for the clients and there is no configuration change on the server side. One only needs to restart the FTS web service (Tomcat) after upgrading the glite-data-transfer-fts package.

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

For instructions on how to use JPackage with gLite R3.1 and Hydra see
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/EGEE/DMEDS#installation_of_the_service
for Hydra test configurations.

Major features in glite-data-hydra-service v1.3.0-1 and
glite-data-hydra-cli v3.1.0-1:
    o split-key support using Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme
    o using GFAL for I/O (replacing gLite I/O)

Known issues:

When running yaim for the first time an error message is displayed:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'hydra1'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

The error message disappears when running yaim a second time. This issue is tracked in bug #43945.

Major features in glite-data-hydra-service v1.3.0-1 and
glite-data-hydra-cli v3.1.0-1:

    o split-key support using Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme
    o using GFAL for I/O (replacing gLite I/O)

Known bugs:
    o glite-eds-put doesn't work as documented. It cannot use lfc's GUID:s,
      so "-i keyname" must be specified on the command line

glite-FTA_oracle

- Changes to make the package build on 64b systems
- fix for #38820 (glite-proxy-renewd crashes when trying to renew proxies with a short FQAN)
- After installation of the patch the renewal must be restarted
   using: /opt/glite/etc/init.d/glite-proxy-renewald restart

glite-FTA_oracle glite-FTS_oracle glite-LFC_mysql glite-LFC_oracle glite-SE_dpm_disk glite-SE_dpm_mysql glite-WN

lcg-vomscerts-5.2.0:
- renamed all certificates with ".pem" suffixes because of bug 43395
- removed expired certificate of voms.cern.ch

glite-FTS_oracle glite-WN

This is a simple fix for the library moving problem.

If the service is working, this change has no effect. When the service is next time reconfigured
or if there is a clean install this change has an effect and will use the algorithm described in 
the original submission comment.

It is recommended to run the config script again to get the additional link 
to the /usr/share/java/bcprov.jar even though it doesn't exist to prepare for the eventual update
to bouncycastle 1.41. That's why it's better to reconfigure the services that run on tomcat.

But the WN doesn't have services running on tomcat, thus this is just a synchronization update
to be in sync with other components

glite-FTS_oracle glite-LFC_mysql glite-LFC_oracle glite-SE_dcache_admin_gdbm
glite-SE_dcache_admin_postgres glite-SE_dcache_info glite-SE_dpm_disk glite-SE_dpm_mysql

VOMS

An updated documentation can be found here:
VOMS Core Services User Guide: https://edms.cern.ch/file/973684/1/voms-guide.pdf
VOMS Admin User Guide: https://edms.cern.ch/file/974094/1/voms-admin-user-guide.pdf
VOMS Installation and Configuration Guide: https://edms.cern.ch/file/974982/1/voms-installation-configuration-guide.pdf

Contains a fix for bug #38506 (Previous Predictable Order with --voms flags was lost.). Now the order of FQANs in the VOMS proxy follows the order in which FQANs are specified on the command line as values of the "-voms" options. This does _not_ apply to the shorthand "<voname>:/Role=<role>" syntax.

Developer changes:
New API added for the C and C++ APIs. VOMS_SetVerificationTim(time_t time).

As usually, except where noted, everything is backwards-compatible with previous version, both on the protocol level (i.e. client and server versions may be freely mixed) and ABI level (API libraries can be upgraded with newer versions without needing recompilation of the linking parties)

GFAL

glite-data-gfal
• Modify ETICS configuration file template to have dcache-client dependency for SLC4 and dcache-dcap for SLC5
• Experimenting with Python 2.5 support.
• Using --with-swig-prefix to really use ETICS relocated Swig dependency.
• Setting SWIG_LIB, because the one built into the 'swig' binary will not be valid in a userspace build, when Swig is relocated.
• Improve error message in case of soap error different from SOAP_EOF, and with no error string
• added missing libraries to python modules
• The proper fix was using the WITH_NOGLOBAL option instead.
• Added --with-python-location configuration option to be able to build with alternative Python versions.
• SOAP_FMAC3 and SOAP_FMAC5 are used in the generated gSOAP files, however stdsoap2.h uses SOAP_FMAC1, which has to be redefiened as well, when included in these sources. This should fix the SL5 build.
glite-data-dm-util
• Unregister LFN in lcg_cr function when not able to register SURL in this LFN
• Print error message in lcg_rep function when not able to register SURL in the LFN
• Experimenting with Python 2.5 support.
• Solving library dependies of python module
• using --swig-prefix instead of --swig-location
• Adding 'lib64' variations to the possible SWIG_LIB locations.
• Fixed 'if' tests in configure.ac: [] are removed by m4.
• Setting SWIG_LIB, because the one built into the 'swig' binary will not be valid in a userspace build.
• using relative path to stop libtool being too smart?
• added missing python libraries
• Added --with-python-location configuration option to be able to build with alternative Python versions.
lcg-gt does not return all the information to work with dcache and this causes lcg-sd to fail. For information on how to use the lcg_utils with dCache please have a look at the following web page: http://trac.dcache.org/trac.cgi/wiki/manuals/lcg_utils_and_dcache

glite-SE_dcache

In order to upgrade, please rerun the yaim configuration, e.g.:


./yaim -c -s site-info.def -n glite-SE_dcache_pool
./yaim -c -s site-info.def -n glite-SE_dcache_admin_postgres

Fixed bugs:
• Error message of SrmSpaceManager command 'reserve' is misleading/useless.
• PinManager fills up log files with SQL queries pool <-> xrootd-door interaction.
• /opt/d-cache/bin/dcache script doesn't start replica manager ( upper case lower case issue)
• FTP Bug, cd (ftp CWD) does not work anymore (RT #3007) busy loop in SpaceSweeper
• gPlazma returns the same FQAN for the same DN even if the FQAN changes for subsequent requests.
• ftp clinet/server checksum format miss match
• undefied NAMESPACE did not fall back to pnfs
• 'rc onerror fail' doesn't work properly.
• gPlazma web interface to verify correct configuration.
• gsidcap failes if connected to two different doors.
• high pnfs load on srmrm
• Cannot open files with PROOF
• TChain from ROOT not working properly against xrootd
• lcg-ct returns Xrootd:// instead of root://
• SrmSpaceManager : 'ls -l' doesn't report access latency and retention policy of space tokens.
• etc/node_config interpreter problem fixed
• Number of database connections seems not be limited (PinManager)
• Various fixes/improvements in installation system (rt #3082, #3160, #3252)
• File couldn't be unpinned if the disk copy didn't exist any more.
• Pin Manager is leaking db connections
• Permission handler does not respects secondary GID
• Multiple GID support in gPalzma
• globus-url-copy doesn't use the WriteToken tag to select a Space Token
• Size of removed file(s) is not returned to the token using the chimera fs backend.
• (limited) Pin Time after a bring-online start at the time when file touches the disk after a restore.

08.10.2008 - 3.1 Update 33

 

Description

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:




lcg-CE Improvements

This update introduces a new daemon which is a replacement for multiple grid_monitor_agent processes submitted by Condor to CE. Initially they were introduced to reduce load from jobmanagers polling queued jobs, but in reality with pool accounts they hit the same pitfall - too many concurrent job polls. The performance of LCG CE can be improved by a factor 2.
Four variables are introduced in yaim function config_marshal. If you would like to use a different location for globus accounting logs, you can define GATEKEEPER_DGAS_DIR in site-info.def or service file for the lcg-CE node type to point to your new location. JOB_MANAGER_MARSHAL_LOG_PATH,GASS_CACHE_MARSHAL_LOG_PATH and GMA_LOG_PATH are used to define different log file location and name for marshal and globus-gma packages if you don't want to use the default one.
The post scripts to start the daemons in globus-gass-cache-marshal and globus-job-manager-marshal rpm packages are removed. Thus these daemons are not started by default when installing them.
Besides, this patch also includes bug fixes for the released job manager and gass cache marshal packages.

glite-BDII

This updated version of the the BDII fixes a number of outstanding issues, improves the configuration and provides some additional features.
The BDII now uses the bdb backend for OpenLDAP as the ldbm backend is now obsolete. The slapd file used to configure the OpenLDAP database is now in the etc directory rather than embedded in the code. The location of this file is a new configuration parameter in the bdii.conf file BDII_SLAPD_CONF.
The default LDAP entries used in the BDII can also be found in a default LDIF file in the etc directory. The location of this file is a new configuration parameter in the bdii.conf file BDII_DEFAULT_LDIF. The var directory used by the BDII is not configurable with the parameter BDII_VAR_DIR

For full details on configuration of the BDII, please take a look at the BDII documentation This release of the BDII also contains two new features:
• The first in the introduction of the entry, dn: Hostname=ldap://host:2170,o=infosys
  This entry gives some monitoring information about the BDII.
• The second is the availability of the BDII content in a compressed form which is given by the following entry, dn: Hostname=ldap://host:2170,CompressionType=zip,o=infosys
  
The update order should hot matter however best practice should be followed and the top-level bdii should be updated first, followed by the site-level bdii and finally the resource-level BDII.

glite-yaim-core

This update contains the introduction of a number of new variables:

• VO_<vo_name>_MAP_WILDCARDS
• DN_GRIDMAPFILE
• VOMS_GRIDMAPFILE
• SPECIAL_POOL_ACCOUNTS
• BDII_LIST
• CONFIG_USERS
• LOCAL_GROUPS_CONF
• EDGUSERS
• DPMMGR_USER
• DPMMGR_GROUP
• LFCMGR_USER
• LFCMGR_GROUP
• EDG_USER
• EDG_GROUP
• EDGINFO_USER
• EDGINFO_USER
• RGMA_USER
• RGMA_GROUP
• GLITE_USER
• GLITE_GROUP
• GLITE_HOME_DIR
• INFOSYS_GROUP
• BDII_USER
• BDII_GROUP
For a description of these variables please check: https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/Site-info_configuration_variables

New features:

• Wildcards can be now added to the gridmap file and groupmap file for LCMAPS configuration. In order to have the wildcards configured for your VO you have to define VO_<vo_name>_MAP_WILDCARDS=yes. By default these variables are not defined and therefore wildcards are not added. One wildcard will be added per existing FQAN.
• User configuration can be now enabled/disabled by defining CONFIG_USERS=yes/no. The default is 'yes'. If you disable this option, you have to make sure users defined in EDGUSERS file are created in your system. You should also create a set of pool and special accounts and describe them in a file similar to that of USERS_CONF. This variable should then contain the path to your file.
• Note that the files /opt/glite/yaim/examples/groups.conf and /opt/glite/yaim/examples/users.conf are example files that have to be adapted according to the supported VOs.
• groups.conf can be now specified per VO by creating a new directory 'group.d' under the siteinfo directory and creating one groups-<vo-name>.conf file per supported VO. However, the old way of specifying one single groups.conf for all the VOs is also supported. In order to choose one or another option:
  • If GROUPS_CONF is defined in site-info.def, then all the groups should be defined for all the supported VOs in the specified file.
  • If GROUPS_CONF is NOT defined, then the group.d directory must exist with one groups-<vo-name>.conf file per supported VO.
• A local groups.conf file, that is used only within a specific site and that is independent from the general groups that a VO needs to deploy in a site, can be defined by using the variable LOCAL_GROUPS_CONF where all the special groups for a certain site can be defined.
• Service users like dpmmgr or edguser are no longer hardcoded and can be configured in site-info.def for non standard values. See EDGUSERS file for more information.
• VO_<vo_name>_VOMS_CA_DN is now a mandatory variable to create the lsc files.
