A service doesn't have to be physically located at that site, but there needs to be some kind of relationship - in particular the service will normally need to be configured in the site BDII for that site.
Maybe this arises from lack of detailed knowledge about the BDII on our side but we thought that "resource" do not have to know which "site" it 
belongs to, and the relationship is built on site side where the resource is registered in the site bdii.

We are just wondering if it is possible to avoid any action from the admin site during the installation of qcg-bdii rpms. So far the only needed 
action is necessity to provide the site name. it would be nice to eliminate it, but as i understood you it is not possible.

All the best,
Tomek
