Python API: samAdmin v8_1_5
samAdmin.uncacheStationDisk()

Just having some fun...
This is the python interface to the command 'samadmin uncache station disk'.
Command Description:

This command is used by a sam shifter to mark all files in a particular
station cache as being 'uncached' in the SAM db.  It does not remove the
files from disk, nor even check that they actually exist.

The station must NOT be running when this command is
invoked.  The station will notice the change in status
at its next restart.

The path is first tried as a station mount point. If that doesn't exist
it is then tried as the full path of a data storage location.

Example:
  samadmin uncache station disk --station=my-station-name \
           --path=my.node.domain:/sam/cache
           --connect=myOracleUser/myOraclePassword
           
Related commands:
  samadmin uncache station file
  samadmin uncache entire station
  

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

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
