<p><b>New page</b></p><div>== LFC Connectivity Requirements ==<br />
<br />
If you are planning to co-deploy the LFC with another middleware service it's important to know which ports it requires (which is the only source of conflict with another service):<br />
<br />

<br />
The LFC-DLI is now required, even for [[LFC Local | local catalog]]s.<br />
<br />
Not that if you are intending to run a central catalog, even for local VOs, it would ''not'' be advisable to share this service because central catalogs are a critical service.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Sharing Recommendation ==<br />
<br />
If you are a small site, and unable to dedicate a node to the catalog, the recommendation would be to install the [[LCG File Catalog|LFC]] on your MON box. This has been successfully tried in GridPP and tested for the LCG 2.7.0 release.<br />
<br />
In this case, review the standard [[LFC YAIM Install]], then install in the usual YAIM multi-node way:<br />
<br />
# /opt/lcg/yaim/scripts/install_node /etc/lcg/site-info.def lcg-LFC_mysql lcg-MON<br />
# /opt/lcg/yaim/scripts/configure_node /etc/lcg/site-info.def LFC_mysql MON<br />
<br />
* Do bear in mind [[LFC_YAIM_Install#Hardware_Requirements | hardware reliability]].<br />
