2. Operational Issues
2.1 Site configuration in GOCDB
Some sites were not showing in the Top-BDII GLUE2.0 branch, even if the Site-BDII is GLUE2 enabled. It was a site configuration issue in GOCDB, please find more information here
- GGUS ticket have been opened vs Sites with GLUE2 Site-BDII and wrong GOCDB configuration.
- Please, disseminate this information across the sites, in this way when they will install a GLUE2 Site-BDII there will not be issues.
2.2 LDAP dependencies in BDII
As reported in the Operations Meeting on October 24th the Site-BDII is still installed with openldap-servers v.2.3, this is true for both EMI and gLite3.2 versions of the software. Site admins need to manually upgrade the openldap RPMs to openldap2.4-servers.
Note: the dependency to openldap 2.4 will be added in the next release of the Site-BDII, for EMI-2.
2.3 Sites "candidate" or "suspended"
As discussed in the May 2011 OMB, the sites in suspended or candidate status for too long should be closed. We still have a large number of sites in this situation, you can find the lists of sites in those statuses from the Performance page.
As requested in this GGUS ticket, all sites to which on 01 January 2012 the following conditions apply, will be closed by COD:
- site entered suspension/candidate status before 01 June 2011
- no ticket was sent to COD to request an extension of the deadline
If there are technical reason to extend the deadline for specific sites, NGI are kindly requested to open a GGUS ticket to COD - explaining those reasons and providing a timeline for the site reintegration - before December 31st 2011.
