Troubleshooting and FAQ's for BDII

What is the differnce between mds-vo-name=BEgrid-MYSITE,o=grid and mds-vo-name=resource,o=grid ?

• mds-vo-name=BEgrid-MYSITE,o=grid
  • This is for the siteBDII IF the siteBDII is at the CE (default in quattor).
• mds-vo-name=resource,o=grid
  • This is for the service BDII of the CE (so only collecting CE info)
  • What needs to be working for the toplevel BDII is the siteBDII.

ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

• Ensure that the service is running: /etc/init.d/bdii status
• Try contact the bdii server using localhost instead of the IP or dns name.
• Check your firewall settings.
• Run netstat -l to verify BDDI is running (you are looking for BDII_read and BDII_write).
• Try from another computer.

What is my mds-vo-name ?

(Uncomfirmed) The same as the one listed in your site/config_grid.tpl:SITE_NAME.

ldapsearch -x -H ldap://myce:2170 -b mds-vo-name=BEgrid-mysite,o=grid returns nothing usefull

(Yet ldapsearch -x -H ldap://myce:2170 -b mds-vo-name=resource,o=grid OR ldapsearch -x -H ldap://ce1.grid.ing.ha.be:2170 -b mds-vo-name=local,o=grid works just fine.)

In Quattor: Add variable BDII_TYPE = 'site'; to your ce profile: ./cfg/cluster/<cluster>_glite3<0/1>/profile_ce*.<site>.tpl.
