Re. the 2.7.0 release.
DPM
---
There is a change to the database schema and the domain name structure in the
new release of DPM. This change is automated by the config_DPM_upgrade
function in YAIM. However, this will only work for the 1.3.8 release of DPM,
which was the official LCG 2.6.0 release.
For any sites who upgraded to the intermediate DPM 1.4.1, and upgraded their
database scheme, the FQDN change still has to happen. You will have to use a
substitute YAIM function. For details, see
http://wiki.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/DPM_Upgrades
N.B. All the DPM documentation in the wiki has been updated for the 2.7.0
release.
LFC
---
As of this release we are asking any T2 sites who do not yet have a _local_
install of the LCG File Catalog (aka LFC) to install one as part of the
upgrade process.
This is documented here,
http://wiki.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/LCG_File_Catalog
again these instructions are current to the 2.7.0 release.
For sites for whom it is not possible to dedicate a machine to the LFC
install, our recommendation is to coinstall with the MON box. Details here:
http://wiki.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/LFC_Shared_Install
This co-location of services has been tested by us as part of the 2.7.0
pre-release testing.
Any problems we these components and we're here to help!
Cheers
Graeme
