FCOnlyStorage

The FCOnly storage can only be used to register replicas in a FileCatalog.

It is used to preserve LFN metadata, no actual file content will be stored.

Example Configuration for Resources/StorageElement:

ARCHIVE-SE
{
  BackendType = None
  FCOnly
  {
    Access = remote
    Protocol = dfc
  }
}

The ‘dfc’ protocol also needs to be added to the RegistrationProtocols and WriteProtocols lists in the Operations/DataManagement section.

class DIRAC.Resources.Storage.FCOnlyStorage.FCOnlyStorage(storageName, parameters)

Bases: StorageBase

MetaData Storage, only for registering LFNs, nothing else.

DYNAMIC_OPTIONS = {}
PROTOCOL_PARAMETERS = ['Protocol', 'Host', 'Path', 'Port', 'SpaceToken', 'WSUrl']
__init__(storageName, parameters)

c’tor

Parameters
  • self – self reference

  • storageName (str) – SE name

changeDirectory(directory)

Change the directory to the supplied directory

constructURLFromLFN(lfn, withWSUrl=False)

Construct URL from the given LFN according to the VO convention for the primary protocol of the storage plagin

Parameters
  • lfn (str) – file LFN

  • withWSUrl (boolean) – flag to include the web service part into the resulting URL

Return result

result[‘Value’] - resulting URL

createDirectory(*parms, **kws)

Make a new directory on the physical storage

exists(*parms, **kws)

Check if the given path exists

getCurrentDirectory()

Get the current directory

getCurrentURL(fileName)

Obtain the current file URL from the current working directory and the filename

Parameters
  • self – self reference

  • fileName (str) – path on storage

getDirectory(*parms, **kws)

Get locally a directory from the physical storage together with all its files and subdirectories.

getDirectoryMetadata(*parms, **kws)

Get the metadata for the directory

getDirectorySize(*parms, **kws)

Get the size of the directory on the storage

getEndpoint()
This will get endpoint of the storage. It basically is the same as getURLBase()

but without the basePath

Returns

‘proto://hostname<:port>’

getFile(*parms, **kws)

Get a local copy of the file specified by its path

getFileMetadata(*parms, **kws)

Get metadata associated to the file

getFileSize(*parms, **kws)

Get the physical size of the given file

getName()

The name with which the storage was instantiated

getOccupancy(**kwargs)

Get the StorageElement occupancy info in MB.

This generic implementation download a json file supposed to contain the necessary info.

Parameters

occupancyLFN – (mandatory named argument) LFN of the json file.

Returns

S_OK/S_ERROR dictionary. The S_OK value should contain a dictionary with Total and Free space in MB

getParameters()

Get the parameters with which the storage was instantiated

getTransportURL(pathDict, protocols)

Get a transport URL for a given URL. For a simple storage plugin it is just returning input URL if the plugin protocol is one of the requested protocols

Parameters
  • pathDict (dict) – URL obtained from File Catalog or constructed according to convention

  • protocols (python:list) – a list of acceptable transport protocols in priority order

getURLBase(withWSUrl=False)

This will get the URL base. This is then appended with the LFN in DIRAC convention.

Parameters
  • self – self reference

  • withWSUrl (bool) – flag to include Web Service part of the url

Returns

URL

isDirectory(*parms, **kws)

Check if the given path exists and it is a directory

isFile(*parms, **kws)

Check if the given path exists and it is a file

isNativeURL(url)

Check if URL :url: is valid for :self.protocol:

Parameters
  • self – self reference

  • url (str) – URL

isOK()
isURL(path)

Guess if the path looks like a URL

Parameters
  • self – self reference

  • path (string) – input file LFN or URL

Returns boolean

True if URL, False otherwise

listDirectory(*parms, **kws)

List the supplied path

pinFile(*parms, **kws)

Pin the file on the destination storage element

prestageFile(*parms, **kws)

Issue prestage request for file

prestageFileStatus(*parms, **kws)

Obtain the status of the prestage request

putDirectory(*parms, **kws)

Put a local directory to the physical storage together with all its files and subdirectories.

putFile(*parms, **kws)

Put a copy of the local file to the current directory on the physical storage

releaseFile(*parms, **kws)

Release the file on the destination storage element

removeDirectory(*parms, **kws)

Remove a directory on the physical storage together with all its files and subdirectories.

removeFile(path)

Remove physically the file specified by its path

resetCurrentDirectory()

Reset the working directory to the base dir

setParameters(parameterDict)

Set standard parameters, method can be overriden in subclasses to process specific parameters

setStorageElement(se)
updateURL(url, withWSUrl=False)

Update the URL according to the current SE parameters
