GFAL2 is already used by FTS3 for file transfers, the main features of GFAL2 are: | |||
*POSIX-like API | |||
*Getting, putting and third party copy all in one call | |||
*Session reuse for SRM, GridFTP and HTTPS | |||
*Python wrappers available | |||
*Interaction with the infosys is entirely optional, and not needed | |||
** Support of information system will be maintained in the future | |||
* gfal2 and gfal (currently in production) are not API compatible | |||

2 Operational issues
2.1 Updates from DMSU
Nothing to report
2.2 Issues with the gLExec probe on tarball WNs
The new gLExec probe provided by EMI is Perl-based and it requires Perl library Time::HiRes. In case the library is missing on WN, test emi.cream.glexec.WN-gLExec will report:
CRITICAL: (null)
WNs with the metapackage emi-glexec_wn contain the required library and work fine. WNs deployed by using tarball WNs are missing the library and glexec binary.
2.3 Proposed changes in the APEL monitoring probes
Slides
2.4 Medium term changes proposed for GFAL utilities
The GFAL lcg-utils product team is proposing to phase out GFAL/lcg_utils in favour of GFAL2/gfal-utils.
GFAL2 is already used by FTS3 for file transfers, the main features of GFAL2 are:
- POSIX-like API
- Getting, putting and third party copy all in one call
- Session reuse for SRM, GridFTP and HTTPS
- Python wrappers available
- Interaction with the infosys is entirely optional, and not needed
- Support of information system will be maintained in the future
- gfal2 and gfal (currently in production) are not API compatible
lgc_utils functions that are proposed to be deprecated:
Function | lcg_util | Status |
---|---|---|
Add an alias for a given GUID | lcg-aa | Deprecated |
Copy and register a file | lcg-cr | Deprecated |
lcg-la | Deprecated | |
Get the GUID for a given LFN | lcg-lg | Deprecated |
Lists the replicas for a given LFN | lcg-lr | Deprecated |
Remove an alias | lcg-ra | Deprecated |
Copy between Ses using the catalog | lcg-rep | Deprecated |
Register a file in a catalog | lcg-rf | Deprecated |
Unregister a file | lcg-uf | Deprecated |
The proposal is to support lcg_utils in terms of security and critical bug patches until 31st October 2014.
The changes may affect heavily user communities who are using LFC and who based their workflows on the lcg-utils commands that combine SRM and LFC actions.
More information available in the CERN twiki.
Action: Discuss with your NGI team and user communities the implications of this proposed change.
P.Solagna will circulate this information to the UCB.
2.5 glue2 monitoring
Proposal for a soft-start:
- After the end of the month open tickets to sites, non alarm tickets without escalation, to ask them to start working on the issue.
