some experiments it is also possibile to use the https or davs protocol contacting directly the StoRM frontend in the same way, but some configuration changes of the gfal tool are needed on the client. In fact, the SRM plugin specifcs into the /etc/gfal2.d/srm_plugin.conf file can be ordered as in the following example:


Code Block
# ordered list of turls protocols for remote I/O
# the top priority protocol is the first one
TURL_PROTOCOLS=davs;gsiftp;rfio;gsidcap;dcap;kdcap

# ordered list of turls protocols for third party transfer
# only protocol supporting third party copy should be here
# the top priority protocol is the first one
TURL_3RD_PARTY_PROTOCOLS=https;gsiftp;root

For all the gfal commands see [16].

In case of local to remote transfer, you have to request the storage space in the destination filesystem and this is done with the command clientSRM PtP, where PtP stands for Prepare to Put. For example:

In case of local to remote transfer, you have to request the storage space in the destination filesystem and this is done with the command clientSRM PtP, where PtP stands for Prepare to Put. For example:

Code Block
$ clientSRM PtP -e httpg://storm-fe-archive.cr.cnaf.infn.it:8444 -s srm://storm-fe-archive.cr.cnaf.infn.it:8444/virgo4/prova_andrea

where:

  • -e is used to specify the endpoint.
  • -s is used to specify the destination surl, which is composed by a space token (virgo4 in the example) and the file path. The space token will be communicated by the Experiment Support group.
  • -v is the verbose level, further.

and the complete list of the options is listed by the command clientSRM PtP -help or in [17].
The output should be something like this:

Code Block
-bash-4.2$ clientSRM PtP -e httpg://storm-fe-archive.cr.cnaf.infn.it:8444 -s srm://storm-fe-archive.cr.cnaf.infn.it:8444/virgo4/prova_andrea

It is important to pay attention to the request token (in this case 51e58c63-afdd-4ccb-8a6d-8551b4261c33), which will be used later. Then it is necessary to check the status of the request with clientSRM SPtP (Status of Prepare to Put) :

Code Block
clientSRM SPTP -v -e StatusPtP request to: httpg://storm-fe-archive.cr.cnaf.infn.it:8444 -t 51e58c63-afdd-4ccb-8a6d-8551b4261c33

It is important to remember the TURL which It is important to remember the TURL which will be used in transfer command with the globus-url-copy command. After that, we can perform the file transfer:

A user is also able to delete a file using the SRM clients. An easy example follows below::

Code Block
[arendina@ui-tier1 ~]$ clientSRM Rm -e httpg://storm-fe-archive.cr.cnaf.infn.it:8444 -s srm://storm-fe-archive.cr.cnaf.infn.it:8444/virgo4/test2402

More information on using SRM clients can be found here [18].

NB: For some VOs there is also the possibility to retrieve an https TURL using the ClientSRM utils. Indeed, this could be done adding the -T -P https option, for instance:
