Find
here the full list of EMI 2 products, with detailed
release notes and instructions for their
installation/configuration.
Installation:
All EMI products are distributed from a
single repository having the following structure:
- EMI production (stable): dist/EMI/2/{sl5,sl6,debian}
- stable and signed, well tested software components, recommended to be installed on production-sites
- EMI testing: dist/EMI/testing/2//
- packages that will become part of the next stable distribution; in the certification and validation phase and available for beta-testing & technical-previews
- Third-party: dist/EMI/2///third-party
- packages that are not part of EMI, but are currently not part of the base OS or EPEL
can be currently i386, x86_64, SRPMS, tgz
All EMI packages are signed with the EMI gpg key. The public key can be downloaded from http://emisoft.web.cern.ch/emisoft/dist/EMI/2/RPM-GPG-KEY-emi, and the fingerprint from http://emisoft.web.cern.ch/emisoft/dist/EMI/2/EMI_key_fingerprint.asc.
It is strongly recommended the use of the lastest version of the emi-release package containing the public key and the yum .repo files, that ensures the precedence of EMI repositories over EPEL & Debian:
To understand how to install and configure EMI products either refer to the EMI 2 Generic Installation & Configuration Guide or to each individual product documentation.
Software
EMI 2 software can be downloaded from EMI 2 repository.

What's new
- Backward compatibility:
- Compatibility of ARC WS endpoints with older ARC 11.05 clients that relied on incomplete GLUE2 to communicate to pre-production WS endpoints are broken due to the more compliant GLUE2 LDAP and XML rendering introduced in this release. Upgrade to new ARC 12.05 Clients is highly recommended.
- No backward incompatibility is introduced w.r.t. the production gridftp interface.
- High priority bugs fixed:
- Medium priority bugs fixed:
Installation and configuration
- This release does not introduce any changes in the deployment procedures described in ARC CE documentation. No backwards incompatible changes w.r.t. EMI1 are introduced. Upgrade path from EMI1 to EMI2 is straightforward via binary updates.

Release Notes
What's new
- Backward compatibility:
- Compute client library is completely rewritten, making client API backward incompatible. This requires re-writing all 3rd party tools based on the library. See Extended Release Notes for details.
- Note that older ARC clients from ARC 11.05 are not forward compatible with newer ARC 12.05 WS endpoints that use more complete GLUE2 information schema, thus an upgrade to new clients is highly recommended.
- Immediate priority bugs fixed:
- High priority bugs fixed:
- Medium priority bugs fixed:
Installation and configuration
- Upgrade path from EMI1 to EMI2 is straightforward via binary updates. Client library, however, is completely re-written. 3rd party tools developed using the library will have to be re-written using the new API.

What's new
- The EMI 2 release of the top-level BDII by default operates in a caching mode (caching BDII). This functionality is enabled by the delayed delete option. During the refresh process, if an entry is no-longer available, rather than being deleted immediately, the DN of the entry is stored in a queue along with the timestamp. The delete operation is then delayed for a configurable length of time (by default 12 hours). If the entry reappears, the DN is removed from the queue. This functionality was requested to avoid the appearance of information volatility due to temporary infrastructure instabilities.
- The configuration parameter for the delay (in seconds) is the BDII_DELETE_DELAY variable in the bdii.conf configuration file. This can be also set using the Yaim variable of the same name. Setting this variable to 0 will disable this functionality.

Release Notes
What's New:
- Major additions were done to gplazma. There are two new plugins that adds support for NIS and Kerberos-based password authentication. For nfs3 and nfs41 support for RPCSEC_GSS security was added. The creation of users in the kpwd file was fixed, which was broken before. Chimera ACLs can now be queried and updated through a mounted NFS 4.1 file system. SRM supports the file:// protocol. This allows SRM to produce TURLs for this protocol.
- The webadmin service should now support (almost) all features of the older httpd service. We invite people to test the webadmin and report any problems. If no problems appear then we consider to remove the httpd service in a future dCache release.The WebAdmin interface has a SVG in the background. Note that Internet Explorer before version 9 does not support SVG and will thus not render the background image.
- dCache now publishes the EMI version for the doors in addition to publishing the EMI version of the PoolManager node. If the dCache software doesn't come from EMI then no such number is published.
- dCache 2.0 introduced configurable pool selection algorithms. dCache 2.1 adds a small pool selection algorithm for weighted random selection. The partition type of the new selection algorithm is wrandom. The weight for the write pool selection is free space / total free space. Read pool selection is random with a uniform distribution. Starting with dCache 2.1, pool manager will only generate a stage request for files with a known tape location. Sites that rely on the previous behaviour to import data stored to tape without dCache should contact support@dcacheNOSPAMPLEASE.org.
- During startup pools detect and recover lost meta data. They use various sources to reconstruct the state of the replica, such as the access latency and retention policy of the file. Until this release pools did however ignore information about whether files are already stored on tape. Thus a custodial nearline file would be marked precious even though it was flushed to tape. With this release such files will be marked as cached.
- Previous releases only supported the SSH 1 protocol. This protocol is known to be insecure. With this release we add support for the SSH 2 protocol. The two implementations are unfortunately not integrated and thus version 2 of the protocol is only supported on a separate port. The default port is 22224. Which version is supported is controlled by the sshVersion property. Rudimentary tab completion was added. The output of the help command is parsed to complete dCache shell commands. The current implementation suffers from a number of problems caused by inability to parse all help strings. This will be improved in future releases. Support for version 1 is temporarily kept in dCache. This is because the dCache GUI only supports version 1. It should however be expected that version 1 will be removed from dCache in the near future. At this point configuration properties specific to SSH 2 will likely be renamed.
- When using the billing database, the httpd service is able to generate plots from the information in the database. Support is enabled by setting the billingToDb property to yes for the httpd service. The plots are available under http://admin.example.org:2288/billingHistory/.
- The core xrootd protocol implementation has been moved to an external project called xrootd4j. This allows the code to be reused in other projects, and it serves as a simple framework for testing plugins for xrootd4j and dCache. The xrootd door in dCache and the xrootd support in pools have been updated to use the xrootd4j library. The notable change is that the interfaces for authorization and authentication plugins have changed. Third party plugins have to be updated to support dCache 2.1. For details on xrootd4j and xrootd4j plugins visit the xrootd4j homepage.
- Some changes have been done to the configuration files. Please have a look in the release notes for details.
- Starting with this release, the migration script is no longer included. A direct upgrade from 1.9.5 is not supported. We recommend that sites first upgrade to 1.9.12 and then to subsequent versions.
- Several third party libraries have been upgraded. See the following table for details about the version in dCache 2.0 vs dCache 2.1.
- Library 2.0 2.1
- Grizzly 1.9.19 2.1.8
- JNA 3.3.0 3.4.0

gLExec
What's New:
Only the default directory for LCAS and LCMAPS plugins has changed.
- If you use YAIM, you can just update and reconfigure and everything should work.
- Otherwise you have to manually update the plugin locations in the lcmaps and lcas db files in
- /etc/lcmaps/lcmaps*.db
- /etc/lcas/lcas*.db
to match the new installation directories for the plugins:
-
- /usr/lib(64)/lcas and /usr/lib(64)/lcmaps
for LCAS and LCMAPS respectively (the old location was /usr/lib(64)/modules for both). This change was necessary to satisfy Fedora/EPEL requirements.
Note that there are no problems in mixing gLite and EMI-1 and EMI-2
services such as a CREAM CE or Argus server.

- MPICH2 with hydra tested with Torque/PBS and SGE (bug #51)
- General improvement of documentation.
Installation & Configuration:

- No other extra special installation requirements, no need for restarting services.
- Yaim plugin available for configuration in WN and CEs.
- Proper accounting of MPI jobs requires a MPI implementation that provides tight integration with the batch system: OpenMPI in SGE and Torque/PBS (may require recompilation of packages) or MPICH/MPICH2 with OSC mpiexec in Torque/PBS. Newer versions of MPICH2 with Hydra also provide integration with Torque and SGE.
