Description (See the patch #4423)
L&B 2.1 is an evolution of L&B 2.0
What's new
- IPv6 compliance
- Adoption of the common logging format
- Collection aware purging
- WebService interface supporting basic AGU / Glue 2.0
- Advanced authorization with unified configuration
- Elementary native support for CREAM jobs
- Ability to log sandbox transfer progress as a specific job type
- Configuration tuned to allow collocation with WMS
- Job rate and state transition time statistics
Installation and Configuration
glite-LB metapackage is installed by yum. yaim configuration requires, at the very least, setting MYSQL_PASSWORD, SITE_NAME and SITE_EMAIL in the site-info.def file.
Dependencies
This release depends on internal releases of glite.jobid and glite.lbjp-common subsystems, which -- however -- are being released with the very same patch.
Known issues
Due to faulty DNS over IPv6 resolution in the c-ares library, L&B does not work in most scenarios involving IPv6-only machines. Upgrade c-ares to 1.7.3 and relaunch yaim to get full IPv6 functionality. - Statistics are not configurable by site admins and do not support weights.
