== Check pool accounts ==
 
Apparently things can go wrong if we have e.g.
 
  
dteamsm01
 
 
and
 
 
dteam001
 
 
as pool accounts for 'dteamsm' and 'dteam' ... because 'dteamsm01' is a valid
 
pool account for .dteam.  Check and repair.
 
== Fix to VOBOX ==
 
See the following email from Simone Campana:
 
 
Dear sites.
 
 
 
A major bug has been found in the VOBOX implementation of the proxy-renewal service. A new RPM has been
 
produced and you can find it in the following AFS location.
 
 
/afs/cern.ch/project/gd/RpmDir_i386-sl3/external/lcg-vobox-1.0.1-3.noarch.rpm
 
 
Could the sites who already installed a VOBOX please upgrade?
 
 
If you currently have installed version lcg-vobox-1.0.1-2.noarch.rpm, you will just need to upgrade the RPM and restart
 
the VOBOX proxyrenewal services, i.e. <voname>-proxyrenewal.
 
 
If you currently have installed a lower version, you also need to reconfigure the VOBOX. With yaim you can do:
 
 
/opt/lcg/yaim/scripts/run_function /opt/lcg/yaim/examples/site-info.def config_vobox
 
 
== Fixes needed for information published to BDII ==
 
There are a number of new attributes in the GlueVOView blocks that are not yet being published,
 
like the software dir and data dir.  This is going to require some serious quattor work and
 
is not a task to be taken lightly.
 
 
Also there is a warning in the GIIS monitor that our
 
publishing of teras.sara.nl as a close SE is failing some sanity checks.  This last one may
 
be a fault in the test, someone needs to looks carefully at this.
 
== Update of Resource Broker ==
 
See [http://www.listserv.rl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0509&L=lcg-rollout&F=&S=&P=34762 message on LCG-ROLLOUT]
 
== R-GMA GIN Update ==
 
See [http://www.listserv.rl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0510&L=lcg-rollout&F=&S=&P=391 message on LCG-ROLLOUT]
 
== LFC and DPM Updates ==
 
After we get a DPM, we need to install [http://www.listserv.rl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0510&L=lcg-rollout&F=&S=&P=43649 these updates ]
 
== FTS client ==
 
Once we get a DPM we can start doing service challenge stuff.  For this we will need an
 
FTS client.  Here is some info from Gavin McCance:
 
 
Clients:
 
 
Either manually: [ https://uimon.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/FtsClientInstall13 Link]
 
 
or with whatever comes with LCG-2.6.0 (yaim?)
 
 
The difficulty is the FTS server URL (i.e. "where does my client commandline
 
tool point to"). Currently, we have not finished our integration with the
 
BDII (or indeed any information system) so we use a file in the local
 
filesystem. An XML file as well.
 
 
[ https://uimon.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/FtsClientInstall13 Link]
 
 
describes the format of this services.xml file - but it really only suitable
 
to point to client commandline tool to *one* FTS server. It is possible to
 
point it to multiple servers and use the "-s" option of the commandlinme
 
tool to select between them, but it's a hack that will have to go away once
 
we do it properly with the BDII, so I wouldn't rely on it.
 
 
Clients at NIKHEF: point to the SARA server.
 
 
Clients at SARA: point to either CERN T0 server or the local SARA server. If
 
the same client on a given machine needs to point to both servers (the CERN
 
one to manage the T0-T1 and the SARA on to manage the T1-T2) then use the
 
"-s" option with two entries in the service.xml file.
 
 
hope this helps,
 
cheers,
 
gav
 
== Cleanpool Script ==
 
The '''bad''' version of the cleanpool script is in /export/perm/adm/bin.
 
It needs to have the apostrophes removed, be put back into test mode.
 
This means to replace the "rm -fr" and "rmdir" stuff with "ls -l"
 
and see what it thinks it will do.  If this all looks OK, it needs to
 
be tested with the "rm" commands put back, but in a sandboxed environment,
 
say copy a pool directory somewhere and try there.
