Hello,
Thanks for all the pointers, it really clarified things. I'm almost
there now. Running /opt/glite/libexec/glite-info-wrapper gives me all
a lot of text that looks right, plus all the bdii gubbins seem to be
running. We just don't seem to be pushing info to the site bdii. I
poked relevant holes in both firewalls, and editied the
bdii-update.conf on the site bdii to have the line:
SRM ldap://fal-pygrid-20.lancs.ac.uk:2170/mds-vo-name=resource,o=grid
One clue from the logs on our site bdii:
SRM: ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server
Is there something else I should be running on the SRM node? Have I
missed something obvious?
cheers,
Matt
