A - installation:
   works rather out of the box. NCM hangs the first time as it tries to create the base path while the DB is not yet there.
   To fix:
      - kill ncm
      - place the certificates and create the db shema
                 mysql -u root -pPASSWD < /usr/share/lcgdm/create_dpm_tables_mysql.sql
                 mysql -u root -pPASSWD < /usr/share/lcgdm/create_dpns_tables_mysql.sql
      - reboot or reconfigure

B - upgrade from DPM 1.8.9 (glite-3.2):
   again, works "rather" out of the box. A couple of issues
      - init.d scripts of srm,dpm,dpns,bdii are not re-created on the head node. To fix:
           -  rpm -e --nodeps dpm-server-mysql dpm-name-server-mysql dpm-srm-server-mysql bdii
           -  configure spma
           -  configure all

      - some bdii directories are not created. To fix:
           [root@llrtest07 ~]# mkdir -p /var/lib/bdii/db/grid /var/lib/bdii/db/glue /var/lib/bdii/db/stats
           [root@llrtest07 ~]# chown ldap:ldap /var/lib/bdii/db/grid /var/lib/bdii/db/glue /var/lib/bdii/db/stats
           restart bdii

      - minor change in the db schema which causes the dpm demon to crash. To fix:
                 mysql -u root -pPASSWD dpm_db
                 mysql> alter table dpm_fs add weight INTEGER;
                 mysql> update dpm_fs set weight=1;
                 mysql> UPDATE schema_version_dpm SET major = 3, minor = 3, patch = 0;
