StorageFactory

Storage Factory Class - creates instances of various Storage plugins from the Core DIRAC or extensions

This Class has three public methods:

getStorageName(): Resolves links in the CS to the target SE name.

getStorage(): This creates a single storage stub based on the parameters passed in a dictionary.

This dictionary must have the following keys: ‘StorageName’,’PluginName’,’Protocol’ Other optional keys are ‘Port’,’Host’,’Path’,’SpaceToken’

getStorages() This takes a DIRAC SE definition and creates storage stubs for the protocols found in the CS.

By providing an optional list of protocols it is possible to limit the created stubs.
