YAIM configuration and the config file
Make sure that the YAIM configuration file
site-info.def contains all the correct BDII settings. We store the YAIM configuration files at
/root/YAIM-config/site-info.def.
Check YAIM config (Note that I had to generate a symbolic link
glite-BDII_site to glite-bdii_site, because the idiotic script needs the component string in capitals).
/opt/glite/yaim/bin/yaim -v -s site-info.def -n glite-BDII_site
...
INFO: Executing function: config_gip_site_check
ERROR: SITE_DESC is not set
ERROR: SITE_SECURITY_EMAIL is not set

I had to add these changes to the site-info.def since the schema had changed as described in the
GOC "How_to_publish_my_site_information"
# new site-wide settings that needed to be added (https://savannah.cern.ch/patch/index.php?1786)

Testing
To test the local BDII:
ldapsearch -x -h t3bdii.psi.ch -p 2170 -b "mds-vo-name=T3_CH_PSI,o=grid"
ldapsearch -x -h t3bdii.psi.ch -p 2170 -b "o=grid"
To test for our entries in the central BDII
ldapsearch -x -h lcg-bdii.cern.ch -p 2170 -b "mds-vo-name=T3_CH_PSI,mds-vo-name=local,o=grid"
Upgrade on 2009-01-13
- Stopped bdii and used yum to pull in updates for the BDII:
- Updated packages:
glite-yaim-bdii noarch 4.0.4-6
glite-BDII i386 3.1.12-0 glite-BDII 2.7 k
Updating for dependencies:
bdii noarch 4.0.1-0 glite-BDII 23 k
glite-info-provider-ldap noarch 1.2.2-2 glite-BDII 5.7 k
glite-info-provider-service noarch 1.0.1-3 glite-BDII 21 k
glite-yaim-core noarch 4.0.5-7 glite-BDII 108 k
glue-schema noarch 1.3.0-5 glite-BDII 30 k
- Ran YAIM again:
/opt/glite/yaim/bin/yaim -v -s site-info.def -n glite-BDII_site
- Restarted BDII.
Upgrade to GLITE 3.2 service

Dump of the complete

ldapsearch -x -h lcg-bdii.cern.ch -p 2170 -b "mds-vo-name=T3_CH_PSI,mds-vo-name=local,o=grid"
Troubleshooting
Installation of openldap2.4 as countermeasure to frequent bdii crashes
following description at
http://glite.cern.ch/glite-BDII_site/known_issues and using the RPMs from the links on this page:
lib64ldap2.4_2-2.4.22-1.el5.x86_64.rpm openldap2.4-extra-schemas-1.3-10.el5.noarch.rpm
openldap2.4-2.4.22-1.el5.x86_64.rpm openldap2.4-servers-2.4.22-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
Extra dependency to install: unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1.x86_64.rpm
Install the package, stop the BDII service, set
SLAPD=/usr/sbin/slapd2.4 in the
/etc/sysconfig/bdii file and start the BDII service again.
