Hi everyone,

Below is some output that I got from upgrading one of my pool/door nodes 
using YAIM. There are a couple of things to note:

* There are a lot of references to tomcat in the output. Is tomcat 
required for the pool/door node? If so, what for?

* The configure script added a line to my /etc/fstab, such that I had:

srm.epcc.ed.ac.uk:/fs /pnfs/fs                  nfs 
hard,intr,ro,bg,noac,auto 0 0

srm.epcc.ed.ac.uk:/pnfsdoors /pnfs/epcc.ed.ac.uk nfs 
hard,intr,ro,bg,noac,auto 0 0

and also removed the link from /pnfs/epcc.ed.ac.uk -> fs/usr meaning that 
the pnfs filesytem was no longer available under /pnfs/epcc.ed.ac.uk . I 
decided to keep with the second line in /etc/fstab above (since it has 
just been added) but this required that I make modifications to the 
corresponding /pnfs/fs/admin/exports/<IP-address> file.

* Since I have only upgraded the pool/door software and not the head node,
the gridftp door will not work as it tries to use gPlazma (basically VOMs)
for authorisation. Since dCache 1.7.0 has not yet been installed on the
head node then the relevant gPlazma domain cannot be found.

Here's the error from trying an srmcp:

error: the server sent an error response: 530 530 Authorization Service 
failed: 
diskCacheV111.services.authorization.AuthorizationServiceException: 
authRequestID 497826706No Route to cell for packet 
{uoid=<1161075609201:201>;path=[>gPlazma@local];msg=Tunnel cell 
>gPlazma@local< not found at >dCacheDomain<}

Matt: this means that if you want to upgrade your door nodes to help with
the CLOSE_WAIT problem then you will also have to upgrade the head node.

I'll let you know if I find anything else.

Cheers,
Greig
