Python API: samAdmin v8_1_5
samAdmin.autodestVerifyLocation()

Just having some fun...
This is the python interface to the command 'samadmin autodest verify location'.
This command is deprecated (no longer actively maintained).
Use at your own risk.

Command Description:

This command will verify that the specified location is a valid SAM location, 
and that the directory exists. It will print out the current attributes. 

A typical report would look like:
   $ samadmin autodest verify --path=/pnfs/sam/NULL
   /pnfs/sam/NULL is a valid SAM location.
   Location /pnfs/sam/NULL exists with properties:
     file_family = jon
     file_family_width = 1
     file_family_wrapper = cpio_odc
     library = samnull
     permissions = rwxrwxr-x
     storage_group = D0

Items to Note:
1. You should run this command from the sam account.
2. You must run this command from a node which has mounted /pnfs space.


Python Usage:
	from SamAdmin import samAdmin
	result = samAdmin.autodestVerifyLocation(...)

Return value: 

Arguments are passed as keyword-value pairs, as in:
	 myfunc(arg1='myarg', arg2='anotherarg', d=1)

Argument Keyword Description:
	(*) indicates that this keyword is required
	>>> indicates that either the API object or the CLI equivalent (<<<) is required

    corbaCallTimeout           int                  time in seconds for CORBA method calls to return before timing out (default: 0; zero implies no timeout)
