Note: This version of the VDT (1.8.0) is no longer supported. Feel free to look through the documentation and install it, but we cannot guarantee support for it. The current stable release is 2.0.0.

VDT 1.8.0e Update

On 2007-08-20, the VDT team announced the release of VDT 1.8.0e.

Changes to VDT 1.8.0e

• This update contains a number of changes for the OSG Resource and Service Validation scripts.
  • The OSG-Site-Validate package has been renamed to OSG-RSV. The OSG-Site-Validate package still exists, but will have no further development. In future releases - 1.8.1 and later - only the OSG-RSV package will exist.
  • There have been a large number of updates and bug fixes to this package. See (VDT Ticket 2873) for details.
  • More information about this package can be found at http://peart.ucs.indiana.edu/docs/osg.
  • Documentation for the configure_osg_rsv script is at http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/releases/1.8.0/config/configure_osg_rsv.html.

Updating to VDT 1.8.0e

If you installed VDT 1.8.0 after VDT 1.8.0e was released on 2007-08-20, you do not need to do any of these update operations because you will have 1.8.0e.

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 -l -d 1

Common update directions

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

cp -pr $VDT_LOCATION BACKUP-LOCATION
cd $VDT_LOCATION
. setup.sh

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

Updating OSG-Site-Validate

Since OSG-Site-Validate has been renamed, you need to install a new package rather than updating it. It is necessary to have performed the update steps from VDT 1.8.0d. OSG-RSV requires the changes to Condor-Devel from that release to work properly.

pacman -get http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/vdt_180_cache:OSG-RSV

# You only need to do these two steps if you are using Gratia
pacman -update http://vdt.cs.wisc.edu/vdt_180_cache:Configure-Gratia
chmod 777 $VDT_LOCATION/gratia/var/logs $VDT_LOCATION/gratia/var/tmp

# If you have installed and enabled OSG-Site-Validate, run the following command
# If you are unsure if you have enabled OSG-Site-Validate, this command is safe to run
$VDT_LOCATION/vdt/sbin/vdt-register-service --disable --name osg-site-validate
