Hi Louis and all

by now I am used to that this issue comes in waves to the lcg rollout from time to time.

at LIP-Lisbon we have

PPS-LIP fully slc4 for a long time, meaning

lcg-CE (containing the site bdii)

DPM

dCache

LFC

all WN's

UI

MON

the UI was one of the most problematic simply because of the

glite-ui-config, which had to be python 2.2 (were 2.3 is on the distro of slc4)

this was solved in the meantime, don't remember which patch

DPM dCache and LFC and MON were rather straight forward after you add some packages from the slc3 (don't need to downgrade anything as far as I remember)

the WN's you already have now

for the lcg-CE (don't have experience with glite-CE) there was a problem with the torque wanting to have tcl/tk 8.3 , we forced it

I never knew  why torque depends = tcl/tk 8.3 and not a depends on >= 8.3

so we have 8.4, and --forced the install of the torque

we never experience any problems because of this

finally the BDII (either site or top)

it installs with no problem, the problem arises after you query the ldap and see wrong or missing information

so, in slc3 you have openldap 2.0, while slc4 you have openldap 2.2

a matter of downgrading from 2.2 to 2.0 is far from being feasible because a lot of rpm in slc4 depends on that guy

so we recompiled ldap 2.0 in slc4, and included thing like the ldap lib of 2.2 on that rpm

down to it, 2.2 is backward incompatible with 2.0, the ldapadd of 2.2 is more strict than 2.0, and the way the info plugins are done, you see errors of ldapadd on the ldap logs because of it.

and that about a little of that story

cheers

Quoting Louis Poncet <[log in to unmask]>:

We are nto certifying yet the SL4 othere services.

We didn't want to play the magician managing package create on SL3  and

mixing them with what we have that already compile on SL4.

So we are waiting for the properly compile package for SL4.

(The BDII should work without any problem)

But i am sorry to ask you to wait a bit more time to get the other

services on the SL4 Os.

I am sorry if I miswrote what I wanted to ask. I only wanted to   know if someone has installed other roles like glite_CE or glite_SE   on SL44. Is it diffucult to be setup'd like this? I assume that an   installation approach similar to the one followed for the WN's has   to be followed (meaning installing packages from 30X repositories).

Good morning.

I am sorry but i don't understand what you mean by out of the box.

Good morning to all,

Just curious, all other roles like glite_CE or glite_SE or even   BDII can be installed "out of the box" on SL44? As a procedure, is   it similar to the one used for the WN's? Does anyone have such a   configuration?
