Python API: samAdmin v8_1_5 samAdmin.autodestSynchMapfile()
|  |
This is the python interface to the command 'samadmin autodest synch mapfile'.
This command is deprecated (no longer actively maintained).
Use at your own risk.
Command Description:
Synchronize reality with your new mapfile.
You have made changes to the mapfile. You have verified the new mapfile, and
are satisfied that any differences between the mapfile and "reality" should
be corrected, using the mapfile as the "master" information source. You are
now ready to alter pnfs space (and, if necessary, the sam
data_storage_locations) to match the new mapfile.
The synch mapfile command will
a. read through the mapfile and
b. create any new pnfs directories that are listed but do not yet exist;
c. modify pnfs directory tags and permissions so that they match what is in
the map file;
d. ensure that all destinationPath entries are valid locations in the SAM
database.
By default, only new entries to the autodest map will be
synchronized; entries which already exist in the master map will not be
re-synched. Use the "--synch=all" option to override this.
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

KEYWORD DATA TYPE DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
c SamBoolean automatically close all servants after each method call
connect string oracle username/password for connecting to this database
corbaCallTimeout int time in seconds for CORBA method calls to return before timing out (default: 0; zero implies no timeout)
d SamBoolean debug mode
(*) mapfile string file containing the new autodest map to be synched
retryInterval int retry interval base in seconds; will multiply this base times retryCount (default: 5)
retryJitter int retry jitter, random jitter added to base retry interval times retryCount (default: 5)
retryMaxCount int number of times to retry CORBA calls for retriable exceptions (default: 25; zero implies no retries)
s SamBoolean retrySilently mode (do not issue messages to stderr on proxy retries)
t SamBoolean time-it mode (print additional info on timings)
v SamBoolean verbose mode
