perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi,

MySQL is no longer required so that is entirely expected. We don't officially 
support installation of the Toolkit package by RPM, so docs are sparse on 
that front. Looks like you may also need to install "yum install 
perl-perfSONAR_PS-Toolkit-SystemEnvironment" so your old perfSONARBUOY tests 
get migrated to the new regular testing environment. 

Thanks,
Andy
