Hi Matt,
Yes, things have all changed. Most things should be under /opt/glite now
and you should be using the BDII on port 2170 as your information
provider; globus-mds has now been retired. You should be using
mds-vo-name=resource (making sure that your site BDII now points to this
new endpoint).
To understand the new system, you just need to follow the configuration
files. Everything is controlled by
/opt/glite/libexec/glite-info-wrapper. This calls all of the information
providers and plugins. The configuration file that the info-wrapper uses
contains pointer to where all of the plugins and providers live.
Hope that all makes sense.
Cheers,
Greig
