Python API: samAdmin v8_1_5
samAdmin.autodestSynchMasterMap()

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This command is deprecated (no longer actively maintained).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

Command Description:

Synchronize reality with the current master map.

The synch master map command will:
  a) read the master map,
  b) create any pnfs directories that do not exist,
  c) modify pnfs directory tags and permissions so that they
     match what is listed in the master map
  d) ensure that all destinationPath entries are valid locations
     in the SAM database

           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.
           3) This command will fail if it is not able to perform any of the required
  steps.
           

Python Usage:
	from SamAdmin import samAdmin
