[AG-TECH] Upgrading from Access Grid Toolkit 1.0 to 2.1

[Ivan R. Judson]

Good point.
 
 
Wait until 2.1.1 which is happening very soon.  We're testing and fixing
bugs. We've entered the home stretch :-)

My personal opinion is that you hold off installing AG2.1 for the moment.
Currently, you won't be able to do a successful install in any case. ANL are
promising a fixed release real soon (this week...?). Watch AG-TECH for signs
that this imminent release is more stable and robust. Then install it!
 
We're intending to use AG2.1 for SC Global in November (you'll need to
register to take a full, interactive part - see
http://www.sc-conference.org/sc2003/global.html for more details). So you'll
need it for that. I believe that ANL intend to switch off the AG1 venue
server early next year. So you'll need AG2 then. But I'm sure they won't
switch it off until AG2 is working at least as well as AG1.
 
The last point is that I'm sure ANL would appreciate people trying out AG2.1
as soon as it's out. That way, they'll know about problems. You can install
AG2.1 without uninstalling AG1 (a point that's proved absolutely vital so
far...).
 
I hope this is helpful.

PS I hope someone will respond with their opinion about using RedHat 9.0. At
the moment, ANL are advising RH7.3 as the only supported Linux release.

Hi, 

 

            I was considering upgrading our access grid node here at USM
from the old version 1.0 that we're using to 2.1.  My question is, is there
any reason to do this?  Is it needed, or will it be needed.  Can I expect
any problems?  I hoped to start with fresh installs of Windows XP on the
Control and Display machines, and RedHat 9.0 on the audio and video
machines.  What are you're suggestions?  How much time can expect to get it
up and running (by this I mean, won't I require a certificate to be returned
to me by Leggett at mcs.anl.gov?).

 

Thanks in advance.
