gLite 3.2

glite-LB - Update to version 3.2.12-5.sl5


Date 10.11.10
Priority Normal

Description



glite-LB

New version of glite-LB

L&B 2.1 is an evolution of L&B 2.0

What's new

  • IPv6 compliance
  • Adoption of the common logging format
  • Collection aware purging
  • WebService interface supporting basic AGU / Glue 2.0
  • Advanced authorization with unified configuration
  • Elementary native support for CREAM jobs
  • Ability to log sandbox transfer progress as a specific job type
  • Configuration tuned to allow collocation with WMS
  • Job rate and state transition time statistics

Installation and Configuration

glite-LB metapackage is installed by yum. yaim configuration requires, at the very least, setting MYSQL_PASSWORD, SITE_NAME and SITE_EMAIL in the site-info.def file.

Dependencies

This release depends on internal releases of glite.jobid and glite.lbjp-common subsystems, which -- however -- are being released with the very same patch.

Known issues

  • Due to faulty DNS over IPv6 resolution in the c-ares library, L&B does not work in most scenarios involving IPv6-only machines. Upgrade c-ares to 1.7.3 and relaunch yaim to get full IPv6 functionality.
  • Statistics are not configurable by site admins and do not support weights.
This update fixes various bugs. For the full list of bugs, please see list below.
