Problems re-enabling CEMon

When configuring a EMI-2 CREAM-CE, by default CEMon is not deployed, unless the relevant yaim variable USE_CEMON is set to true.

There are problems if CEMon is disabled (i.e. with USE_CEMON not set or set to false) and then a reconfiguration is done re-enabling it (i.e setting USE_CEMON to true). The workaround is to reinstalling the glite-ce-monitor* rpms before reconfiguring.

In EMI-2 yaim requires CREAM_PEPC_RESOURCEID for CEMon even if ARGUS is not used

The workaround is setting that variable to an arbitrary value (it won't be used)

Problem with ARGUS configuration in EMI-2

In the EMI-2 release there is an issue in yaim if CEMon should be configured to use ARGUS as authorization system. The workaround is to modify the file /opt/glite/yaim/functions/config_cream_cemon replacing the line:

      -e "s|ARGUS_PEPD_ENDPOINTS=|${ARGUS_PEPD_ENDPOINTS=}|" \

with:

      -e "s|ARGUS_PEPD_ENDPOINTS|${ARGUS_PEPD_ENDPOINTS}|" \
