Testing the site BDII

Jump to navigationJump to search
The site BDII should deliver information on all site resources that have been configured (by yaim) in the file /opt/glite/etc/gip/site-urls.conf. Display the contents of this file on the command line by
cat /opt/glite/etc/gip/site-urls.conf CE ldap://gks-1-124.fzk.de:2170/mds-vo-name=resource,o=grid SITE_BDII ldap://gks-1-121.fzk.de:2170/mds-vo-name=resource,o=grid
To check if the site BDII can be queried for information you can try:
source /root/yaim/site-info.def ldapsearch -xLLL -b mds-vo-name=$SITE_NAME,o=grid -p 2170 -h $SITE_BDII_HOST
You can also test if ldap is listening on port 2170 with
lsof -i :2170
If this is not the case, the BDII service has to be started
# sh /etc/init.d/bdii status BDII Stopped [ OK ] # sh /etc/init.d/bdii start Starting SLAPD: [ OK ] Starting update process: [ OK ] # sh /etc/init.d/bdii status BDII Runnning
From a remote location, e. g. from a User Interface (or from anywhere ldap available) execute
ldapsearch -xLLL -b mds-vo-name=<site name>,o=grid -p 2170 -h <site BDII hostname>
If this does not work check if the port 2170 is open in the firewall:
telnet <site bdii hostname> 2170
