What's new:

Large performance increase, Databases holding pools, so pools can be run on file systems with slow lookup speed. At least 5X performance upgrade. Many bug fixes.

New information system provider.

Installation and configuration:

#first stop your dcache.

/opt/d-cache/bin/dcache stop
umount -f /pnfs/
/etc/init.d/dcacheChimeraNfs stop

#then check no java is running
ps aux | grep java

The files format of /opt/d-cache/etc/node_config has changed before upgrading please do the following command

mv /opt/d-cache/etc/node_config /opt/d-cache/etc/node_config.bak

if this is not done you will get multiple copys of dcache domains running

Back this up

mv /opt/d-cache/etc/glue-1.3.xml /opt/d-cache/etc/glue-1.3.xml.bak

A new one should be generated.

run this script to complete the process

/opt/d-cache/bin/dCacheConfigure.sh -s /root/site-info.def -c config_sedcache
