> Subject: [LCG-ROLLOUT] New MDS Region: BDII configuration update is
> needed at all sites
>
>
> Dear LCG site managers,
>
> given the ever increasing number of sites joining the LCG-1 system, we
> decided to create a new Information System Region to avoid overloading
> the lcgeast region.
>
> The new region is called lcgsouth and, at least in the beginning, will
> include Italian and Spanish sites.
>
> Andrea Chierici at INFN-CNAF in Bologna and Gonzalo Merino at PIC in
> Barcelona have already set up two new Regional MDS nodes which will
> collect and publish data from all sites in the new region.
>
> If your site hosts a BDII node, then you must modify the configuration
> of the BDII population program to include the new region with its two
> servers. To do this you have to:
>
> 1) log on your BDII node as root
> 2) cd to /opt/edg/etc
> 3) edit the bdii-cron.conf file. The definition of
> MDS_HOST_LIST should
> be changed to look like this:
>
> MDS_HOST_LIST="
> adc0026.cern.ch:2135/lcg00108.grid.sinica.edu.tw:2135
> lcgcs01.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2135
> wn-02-37-a.cr.cnaf.infn.it:2135/pic115.ifae.es:2135
> "
>
> Note: with this setting, the CNAF Regional MDS will be queried first,
> while the PIC server will only be used if the CNAF one is down. If you
> have a better connection to Spain than to Italy, then you may want to
> switch the order of the two servers and use the node in Barcelona as
> your first choice.
>
> After you save the file, the new settings will be used the
> next time the
> population program runs on your BDII. This happens every ten minutes.
>
> Please announce on the LCG-Rollout list when you have done this
> modification so that I can check if your BDII can correctly
> see the new
> Region.
>
> For Italian and Spanish sites only: later today or tomorrow
> (it depends
> on how fast the BDII update process goes) I will publish the
> instructions on how to move your Site GIIS from the old
> region, lcgeast,
> to the new one, lcgsouth.
>
> Cheers
