StoRM Frontend v.1.8.12

Released on 28.02.2019 with StoRM v. 1.11.15.

Description

This release:

• avoids an indefinitely growth of the threads queue size due to the the incoming requests to Frontend and the consequent block of the acceptor thread;
• print queue length information into monitoring.log;
• clears old code and stuff related to deprecated variables.

Bug fixes

• [STOR-1021] - Request queue length monitoring in the FE
• [STOR-1025] - Configurable size limit for the request queue

Enhancements

• [STOR-1020] - Remove functions and code related to old and deprecated variables
• [STOR-1029] - Address frontend compilation warnings

Installation and configuration

Update package:

yum update storm-frontend-server

and run YAIM (mandatory).

Important: StoRM Frontend 1.8.12 introduces changes in the main configuration file:

/etc/storm/frontend-server/storm-frontend-server.conf

The useless parameters:

# Proxy information
proxy.dir = ...
proxy.user = ...

have been deprecated and no more supported. Frontend won’t start if these variables are not deleted. Latest YAIM version automatically fix it.

If your configuration file is for some reason managed by puppet or other tools, update your server configuration.

You can find information about upgrade, clean installation and configuration of StoRM services in the System Administration Guide.
