  • New siteinfo variables:
    - UNPRIVILEGED_MKGRIDMAP:
    In case you want to create a grid-map file which only contains mappings to ordinary users. Values are 'yes' or 'no'. 'no' will create a grid-map file with special users as well, if defined in groups.conf. yes, will create a grid-mapfile containing only mappings to ordinary pool accounts. This variable is defined in site-info.pre. Default is 'no'. You can redefine it in your site-info.def.
    - GRIDFTP_CONNECTIONS_MAX:
    Maximum number of simultaneous connections to the gridftp server. This variable is defined in site-info.pre. Default is '50'. You can redefine it in your site-info.def.
    - BDII_LIST:
    This variable already appeared in the previous yaim core release 4.0.5-7. However, due to a bug it was recommened not to use it. It's an optional variable to define a list of top level BDIIs to support the automatic failover in the GFAL clients. The syntax is my-bdii1.$MY_DOMAIN:port1[,my-bdii22.$MY_DOMAIN:port2[…]]. Be aware that lcg-infosites doesn't work with multiple BDIIs. So it's better you don't define this variable if you need to use lcg-infosites. However gfal, lcg_utils, lcg-info and glite-sd-query work fine with multiple BDIIs.
    - SE_MOUNT_INFO_LIST:
    This YAIM variable is used to set the GlueCESEBindMountInfo attribute for each defined SE. The variable is a space separated list of SE hosts from SE_LIST with the export directory from the Storage Element and the mount directory common to worker nodes part of the Computing Element like SE1:export_dir1,mount_dir1. If any SE from SE_LIST doesn't support the mount concept, don't define anything for that SE in this variable. If this is the case for all the SEs in SE_LIST, put the value 'none'. The GlueCESEBindMountInfo will be in both cases 'n.a'.
    - CE_CAPABILITY and CE_OTHERDESCR:
    These variables affect cream_CE and lcg_CE and that is why they are included in the example site-info.def. However, they are currently not used until some modifications in the information system configuration are applyed in cream and lcg CE. They will be properly announced by then. You can ignore them for the time being
