>From: Unidata Support <address@hidden> >Organization: UCAR/Unidata >Keywords: 200305121843.h4CIhU7U016942 LDM-6 availability IDD rtstats Hi Raj, I am trying to find out who at WCUPA is responsible for maintaining the LDM now that you are at UCAR. Log files show that the LDM machine at WCUPA, rossby.wcupa.edu, is still running. If WCUPA is still using the LDM (we hope so given the Unidata equipment grant it received), we would like to see it get upgraded to our current release, 6.0.11, and start reporting real time ingest statistics. The availability of real time stats allows us to monitor the IDD and make adjustments if/when/where needed. Given the necessary logins ('ldm' and either sudo or 'root'), we are willing to do the upgrade ourselves. Please let us know who we should be contacting. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I am writing since log files show that your site is currently or has relatively recently been using the LDM to receive real time data from the Unidata Internet Data Distribution (IDD) system. Those logs further show that the LDM version you are using is old (LDM-5). Development over the past several months as resulted in a more robust and reliable implementation of the LDM that is much more efficient in moving large volumes of data. The new LDM, LDM-6, is also equipped with a facility (rtstats) that can report real time statisitics back to the UPC so that we may better monitor the performance of the IDD and make adjustments when and where necessary. We would greatly appreciate you upgrading the current version of the LDM you are using to our latest release, LDM-6.0.11. Here is some relevant information for LDM-6.0.11 installation: Building LDM-6.0.11 Information on obtaining, building, installing, and configuring LDM-6.0.11 can be found online at: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/ldm/ldm-6.0.11/index.html LDM-6 is only available in source form at this time, so executable code must be built at your site. Reporting real time statistics The ldmd.conf entry that needs to be added to report real time statistics back to Unidata is: exec "rtstats -h rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu" This 'exec' line should be the last 'exec' line in ldmd.conf. Please remember that after making this modification, you will need to stop and restart your LDM: <login as 'ldm'> <modify ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf> ldmadmin stop <wait for all LDM processes to exit> ldmadmin start Upgrading a machine from an LDM previous to 5.1.3 to LDM-6 If you are upgrading a machine that is running an LDM version that is older than 5.1.3, you will need to delete and remake your LDM queue. This will need to be done _after_ you have built the LDM-6 from source; run 'make install' as the user 'ldm'; run 'make install_setuids' as 'root'; adjusted values in the new LDM's startup script, ldmadmin (the most commonly adjusted parameters are: $hostname, $udunits, $pq_size, $surf_size, and/or $numlogs); and changed your runtime link to point at ldm-6.0.11. Deleting and remaking the queue is as simple as: ldmadmin delqueue ldmadmin mkqueue <- this make take some time We are available to assist you in the upgrade of your LDM and to tune your IDD data requests (request entries in the ~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf). Please let us know how we can help you! Thanks in advance... Tom Yoksas ------_=_NextPart_000_01C31B0C.2D99C7D0-- ------- End of Forwarded Message
