perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi,

Hmmm so you are correct there is a newer one, but it shouldn’t actually matter since they both point at the same place. I just tried installing the 0.8 version of perfSONAR-repo and got the 4.1.6 packages. I also went through the mirrors and didn’t see any that appeared out of date. My initial instinct was that maybe you were somehow pointing at the EL6 repo since that doesn’t have 4.1.X packages, but your packages have .el7 in the names, so I doubt that is it. This one has me scratching my head. Any chance you are running yum priorities and/or pointing at another repo somewhere that has a copy of the old packages? 

Thanks,

Andy

Howdy all - For our upcoming workshop this weekend before the CENIC meeting:

http://ucsd-prp.gitlab.io/lajolla2019/

We are using CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 and installing the
perfsonar-testpoint bundle. Following the published instructions for
this bundle install here:

http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_centos.html

We end up installing:

http://software.internet2.edu/rpms/el7/x86_64/main/RPMS/perfSONAR-repo-0.8-1.noarch.rpm

And, this results in the following package versions being installed:

''Installed Packages
perfsonar-common.noarch 4.0.2.3-1.el7.centos @perfsonar
perfsonar-lsregistrationdaemon.noarch 4.0.2.2-1.el7 @perfsonar
perfsonar-meshconfig-agent.noarch 4.0.2.1-1.el7.centos @perfsonar
perfsonar-meshconfig-shared.noarch 4.0.2.1-1.el7.centos @perfsonar
perfsonar-oppd-bwctl.noarch 4.0-1.el7.centos @perfsonar
perfsonar-oppd-owamp.noarch 4.0-1.el7.centos @perfsonar
perfsonar-oppd-server.noarch 4.0-1.el7.centos @perfsonar
perfsonar-oppd-shared.noarch 4.0-1.el7.centos @perfsonar
perfsonar-testpoint.noarch 4.0.2.3-1.el7.centos @perfsonar
perfsonar-toolkit-install.noarch 4.0.2.5-1.el7 @perfsonar
perfsonar-toolkit-library.noarch 4.0.2.5-1.el7 @perfsonar
perfsonar-toolkit-ntp.noarch 4.0.2.5-1.el7 @perfsonar
perfsonar-toolkit-security.noarch 4.0.2.5-1.el7 @perfsonar
perfsonar-toolkit-servicewatcher.noarch 4.0.2.5-1.el7 @perfsonar
perfsonar-toolkit-sysctl.noarch 4.0.2.5-1.el7 @perfsonar
perfsonar-toolkit-systemenv-testpoint.noarch 4.0.2.5-1.el7 @perfsonar
perfsonar-tools.noarch 4.0.2.3-1.el7.centos @perfsonar

However, going to:

http://software.internet2.edu/rpms/el7/x86_64/main/RPMS/

we can see that there is a perfSONAR-repo-0.9-1.noarch.rpm RPM. If we
choose to install this, then our installed package versions are:

'''Installed Packages
perfSONAR-repo.noarch 0.9-1 installed
perfsonar-common.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-lsregistrationdaemon.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-psconfig-pscheduler.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-psconfig-pscheduler-devel.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-psconfig-utils.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-testpoint.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-toolkit-install.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-toolkit-library.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-toolkit-ntp.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-toolkit-security.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-toolkit-servicewatcher.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-toolkit-sysctl.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-toolkit-systemenv-testpoint.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR
perfsonar-tools.noarch 4.1.6-1.el7 @perfSONAR

Unless there is some reason not to use the newer
perfSONAR-repo-0.9-1.noarch.rpm package, this is what we are planning on
using.

Does the page http://docs.perfsonar.net/install_centos.html need to be
updated, or should we be sticking with the:

perfSONAR-repo-0.8-1.noarch.rpm

for some reason?

Thanks for any feedback or tips anyone can offer.

Cheers,
