New version of LFC and DPM
This is version 1.7.3 for both the LFC and DPM. It contains bug
fixes for both services with respect to version 1.7.2; in
particular
- Bug 53568, which could cause the DPM's SRM 2.2 server to
crash
- Bug 50686, which meant a malformed request could crash the
LFC or the DPNS
Other issues which may be noticed by users or
administrators:
- DPM will now only publish information regarding static spaces
to the information system, rather than information about all
spaces.
- dpm-listspaces reports space in units of powers of 1024 for
normal user use, to be consistent with other DPM tools. When
providing data for the information system quantities are reported
in SI units, as required by the glue schema.
The xrootd plugin for ALICE for the DPM has been upgraded to
version 2.1.0. As previously, in order to enable xrootd access the
xroot daemons must be obtained separately - they are not included
in the glite release. Plugin 2.1.0 is intended for use with
xrootd-20090729.0855, see:
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/DpmXrootAccess21
The updated xrootd base is expected to bring increased stability
to the service. The DPM plugin is also has updated defaults for
some settings, extra authentication settings and uses the most
recent ALICE security plugin.
See the CHANGES and RELEASE files in the CVS repository for a
complete list of changes.
DPM Known issues:
For those upgrading from DPM 1.6.x please check the following
for known issues and considerations relating to the database schema

In case the DPM gridftp fails to startup with the error
message:
Starting dpm-gsiftp: /etc/sysconfig/dpm-gsiftp says NO:
[FAILED]
please check that your /etc/sysconfig/dpm-gsiftp contains the
line:
RUN_DPMFTP="yes"
(for configuration files built from the 1.6 template this
setting is missing)

Vulnerability fix for bug #54623
Important note for the UI and WN:
Due to a problem of the versioning scheme used by VDT, upgrading
an already existing gLite 3.2 UI and WN fails. Using the commands
"yum groupupdate glite-UI" resp. "yum
groupupdate glite-WN" fails with an error message
"package
vdt_globus_essentials-VDT1.10.1x86_64_rhap_5-3.x86_64 (which is
newer than vdt_globus_essentials-VDT1.10.1x86_rhap_5-4.i386) is
already installed". The workaround is to uninstall the
vdt_globus_essentials rpms manually:
rpm -e --nodeps vdt_globus_essentials-VDT1.10.1x86_rhap_5-3
vdt_globus_essentials-VDT1.10.1x86_64_rhap_5-3
Then do "yum groupupdate glite-UI" resp.
"yum groupupdate glite-WN"
glite-UI
glite-UI rpm removal to fix vulnerability issue for bug #54623
This patch removes several rpms currently not needed on the UI.
Sites already having these rpms installed should remove them
manually with the command:
yum remove glite-data-agents-common glite-data-config-service
glite-data-srm2-api-c glite-data-srm-util-cpp
glite-data-srm-api-c
This is highly recommended as these rpms suffer from security
bug #54623.
