Hi,
The following is a low priority given that UH is running LDM-6.0.13.
I am sending it anyway since UH is not running the latest LDM
release from the UPC, LDM-6.0.14.
As part of the assessment of the Unidata Internet Data Distribution
(IDD) system in preparation for reorganization, I have compiled a list
of sites who are not currently running the latest LDM available from
the UPC. Our records indicate that you are the contact person for one
of these sites, so I am writing to strongly encourage you upgrade your
LDM installation. If you are not the appropriate LDM contact person at
your institution, please relay this email to the appropriate person and
let us know who s/he is. Thanks!
The older the versions of the LDM that you are running, the more you
need to upgrade.
- Sites running LDM versions prior to LDM-6.x should upgrade immediately.
- Sites running LDM releases prior to LDM-6.0.13 stand to benefit greatly
from an upgrade. There was a significant change in the connection
strategy between LDM-6.0.10/11/12 and LDM-6.0.14: LDM-6.0.10 would
first try to connect to an upstream site using LDM-6 protocols, and,
if the connection attempt failed for any reason, drop back to using
LDM-5 protocols. When an upstream LDM-6 is stopped and restarted
while a downstream is connected, the connection can switch from use
of LDM-6 protocols to LDM-5 protocols, and the feed will become less
efficient for both the upstream server and downstream client.
- 6.0.13 users will still benefit from an upgrade to 6.0.14, but the
benefits are not nearly as great as from previous versions.
this situation, we are asking you to upgrade the LDM installation on
our machine(s) to 6.0.14 as soon as possible.
NOTE:
We are willing to do the LDM upgrade for you if we are given
appropriate logins to your machine(s) (we need the login as the user
'ldm', and could use a login as 'root' if you would like us to complete
the installation step that requires 'root' access). An upgrade of
your LDM would also include a review of the 'request' lines in your
~ldm/etc/ldmd.conf file, and a reorganization of those that would
benefit from modification.
The following lists show which sites are running old LDM versions.
Some sites are included in more than one grouping.
