Testing Your Installation

Starting the container
After following instructions for installing and configuring the Globus Toolkit 3.2, you should be able to start the standalone container that is automatically installed.
1

If you installed GT3.x core only, run

globus$ grid-proxy-init

to create a proxy certificate for use by the container. If you have a full install with a host certificate and have run setperms.sh, a proxy of the host certificate will automatically be created.

2

To start the container, run:

globus$ bin/globus-start-container
  

Note: The container will log to the terminal, and will not return control to the prompt.

Testing the OGSA ServiceData Browser GUI

With the container running, a client can access servicedata through a graphic user interface, the ServiceData Browser.

4

To test the OGSA ServiceData Browser GUI, run:

user$ bin/globus-sdb
    

In the frame that opens up, you can select a service from the list of services. It will let you inspect the servicedata elements of each service in either raw or tree mode. From a testing perspective, this mainly lets you examine the list of running services.
