Note: This version of the VDT (1.10.1) is supported, but is not our latest stable release. The current stable release is 2.0.0.

VDT 1.10.1d Update

On 2008-06-11, the VDT team announced the release of VDT 1.10.1d.

Changes to VDT 1.10.1d

1. Condor and Condor-Cron have been updated to 7.0.2 (VDT ticket 3595) Upgrading to this version of Condor addresses the security issue we recently announced.
2. OSG-RSV has been updated to fix a bug that could cause some probes to not be correctly submitted to Condor-Cron. (VDT ticket 3597)

Updating to VDT 1.10.1d

If you installed VDT 1.10.1 after VDT 1.10.1d was released on 2008-06-11, you do not need to do any of these update operations because you will have 1.10.1d.

If you haven't updated to VDT 1.10.1c yet, we recommend that you review the 1.10.1c update instructions, and perform the update for the security fix first.

The best way to do the update is to update the individual packages that have changed. To be clear, we do not recommend using pacman -update without specifying specific package names. Also note that you only need to update packages if you installed them. You can see what packages have been installed with:

pacman -lc

Common update directions

Before you do the update directions that follow, please run the following commands. They apply for all of the updates.

cd $VDT_LOCATION
. setup.sh
vdt-control --off
cp -pr $VDT_LOCATION BACKUP-LOCATION

The copy command makes a complete backup of your VDT installation, in case something goes wrong. Do not skip this step!

Updating Condor

Note: You do not need to update Condor-Cron, it will be updated when OSG-RSV is updated.

pacman -update Condor

Updating OSG-RSV

After updating, you will need to reconfigure OSG-RSV. For configuration, see the instructions here

pacman -update OSG-RSV
