Globus Online testing

Clearly at the moment we see that some issues are because of configurations:

  • restrictive permissions on local storage elements for the main SRM directory.
  • VOInfoPath in BDII may be the path only for SRM interface, but accessing via GridFTP it is different.
  • the SRM hostname advertised in BDII may not be the real one used to store files. (GO endpoint is the one which provides GirdFTP)
-bash-3.2$ lcg-info --list-se --bdii ldap://bdii.grid.sara.nl:2170 --vo dteam --query 'SE=bostorm.bo.infn.it' --attrs 'VOInfoPath'
- SE: bostorm.bo.infn.it
  - VOInfoPath          /dteam

VOInfoPath is /dteam for SRM interface:

-bash-3.2$ srmls -2 srm://bostorm.bo.infn.it:8444/dteam
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M
  0 /dteam/

      0 /dteam/generated
      0 /dteam/dbauer

but if we connnect using GridFTP, /dteam directory even does not exist:

-bash-3.2$ uberftp bostorm.bo.infn.it "ls /dteam"
220 bostorm.bo.infn.it GridFTP Server 6.10 (gcc64, 1334324800-83) [Globus Toolkit 5.2.0] ready.

Could not list /dteam: 500-Command failed. : System error in stat: No such file or directory
500-A system call failed: No such file or directory
500 End.

because , it is a "symlink" in SRM WS to real directory which is /storage/dteam, but only SRM interface may access it:

-bash-3.2$ uberftp bostorm.bo.infn.it "ls /storage"
220 bostorm.bo.infn.it GridFTP Server 6.10 (gcc64, 1334324800-83) [Globus Toolkit 5.2.0] ready.

Directory listing on GlobusOnline

On GO Web, if directory is empty, GO Web fails with error listing that directory, if at least on file exists it works fine.

e.g. if i try to enter the directory which is empty i get:

"Could not access /dpm/nikhef.nl/home/dteam/karolis.
Please check the path and try again.
Error listing directory '/dpm/nikhef.nl/home/dteam/karolis/' on endpoint 'ekarolis#nikhef_DPM':
Error: Embedded '/' in '/dpm/nikhef.nl/home/dteam/karolis' dirlist: dirlist/recurse.cpp:206: 
void _process_direntry(MLSDEntry*, OpDirlist*): Assertion `0' failed. hide details"

It fails on Nikhef DPM node, but works fine on SARA dCache node.

SRM -> GO endpoint

Go endpoint can be created from all three types (DPM, dCache, STORM) of storage elements within EGI, but SEs have to meet some requirements:


Software versions:

  • GridFTP compatible versions with GlobusOnline access methods within EGI


Gathering info within EGI:

Retrieve all SEs from BDII

-bash-3.2$ ldapsearch -LLL -h bdii.grid.sara.nl -p 2170 -x -b mds-vo-name=local,o=grid '(objectClass=GlueSE)' GlueSEUniqueID|grep GlueSEUniqueID:|awk '{print $2}' > EGI_ALL_SE_HOSTS

Count how much hosts we have

bash-3.2$ wc -l EGI_ALL_SE_HOSTS
489 EGI_ALL_SE_HOSTS

Probe for GridFTP 2811 port EGI_ALL_SE_HOSTS

-bash-3.2$ for i in `cat EGI_ALL_SE_HOSTS`;do echo ¨Connecting to $i `nc -w 2 $i 2811`¨;done|tee EGI_ALL_SE_GRIDFTP_VERSIONS

Count how many of them responded with GridFTP open

-bash-3.2$ grep FTP EGI_ALL_SE_GRIDFTP_VERSIONS|wc -l
299

What are the GridFTP Server versions

-bash-3.2$ awk '{print $8}' EGI_ALL_SE_GRIDFTP_VERSIONS|sort|uniq
2.3
2.7
2.8
3.23
3.28
3.33
6.10
6.14
6.5


Configuration issues:

  • GridFTP must accept VOMS proxy e.g. user is mapped to /home/dteam009 at storage element
  • Main storage directory used by SRM must allow VO member using his VOMS proxy to access it e.g. /storage/dteam, and not only his home directory which is e.g. /home/dteam009
  • BDII or SRM WS should provide the real path to the main storage directory used on storage element e.g. VOInfoPath from BDII MAY contain the path for SRM ONLY and SRM does the mapping to the real path, but GridFTP does not know how to do that mapping.

Note: Configuration issues may be different, depending on how EGI decides to configure SRM/GridFTP/SEs in general and how GlobusOnline finds important information within EGI):

File operations

All operations below were performed succesufully:

a) copy file using SRM and listing file using GO Web
b) copy file using GO Web and listing file using SRM
c) checking if correct Disk Used Sizes are reported by BDII (transfering at least 1GB)
d) deleting file using SRM (file was put by using GO Web)
e) deleting file using GO Web (file was put by using SRM)
f) Transfer file from NIKHEF DPM to SARA dCache.


1) Picked up few SEs:

DPM 1.8.2 - tbn18.nikhef.nl
dCache 2.2.4 - srm.grid.sara.nl
STORM 1.8.2 - bostorm.bo.infn.it

2) Finding SRM endpoints for these SEs:

-bash-3.2$ lcg-info --list-service --bdii ldap://bdii.grid.sara.nl:2170 --vo dteam --query 'ServiceType=SRM' --attrs 'ServiceEndpoint'| grep tbn18.nikhef.nl
- Service: httpg://tbn18.nikhef.nl:8446/srm/managerv2
  - ServiceEndpoint     httpg://tbn18.nikhef.nl:8446/srm/managerv2

-bash-3.2$ lcg-info --list-service --bdii ldap://bdii.grid.sara.nl:2170 --vo dteam --query 'ServiceType=SRM' --attrs 'ServiceEndpoint'| grep srm.grid.sara.nl
- Service: httpg://srm.grid.sara.nl:8443/srm/managerv2
  - ServiceEndpoint     httpg://srm.grid.sara.nl:8443/srm/managerv2

-bash-3.2$ lcg-info --list-service --bdii ldap://bdii.grid.sara.nl:2170 --vo dteam --query 'ServiceType=SRM' --attrs 'ServiceEndpoint'| grep bostorm.bo.infn.it
- Service: httpg://bostorm.bo.infn.it:8444/srm/managerv2
  - ServiceEndpoint     httpg://bostorm.bo.infn.it:8444/srm/managerv2

3) Finding SRM VO home path for these SRM endpoints:

-bash-3.2$ lcg-info --list-se --bdii ldap://bdii.grid.sara.nl:2170 --vo dteam --query 'SE=tbn18.nikhef.nl' --attrs 'VOInfoPath'
- SE: tbn18.nikhef.nl
  - VOInfoPath          /dpm/nikhef.nl/home/dteam

-bash-3.2$ lcg-info --list-se --bdii ldap://bdii.grid.sara.nl:2170 --vo dteam --query 'SE=srm.grid.sara.nl' --attrs 'VOInfoPath'
- SE: srm.grid.sara.nl
  - VOInfoPath          /pnfs/grid.sara.nl/data/dteam

-bash-3.2$ lcg-info --list-se --bdii ldap://bdii.grid.sara.nl:2170 --vo dteam --query 'SE=bostorm.bo.infn.it' --attrs 'VOInfoPath'
- SE: bostorm.bo.infn.it
  - VOInfoPath          /dteam

4) Listing files in SRM endpoints:

-bash-3.2$ srmls -2 srm://tbn18.nikhef.nl:8446/dpm/nikhef.nl/home/dteam
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M
  0 /dpm/nikhef.nl/home/dteam/
< output truncated >

-bash-3.2$ srmls -2 srm://srm.grid.sara.nl:8443/pnfs/grid.sara.nl/data/dteam
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M
  512 /pnfs/grid.sara.nl/data/dteam/
< output truncated >

-bash-3.2$ srmls -2 srm://bostorm.bo.infn.it:8444/dteam
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx512M
  0 /dteam/
< output truncated >

5) Listing used and total space on SEs (in GB units):

-bash-3.2$ ldapsearch -LLL -h tbn18.nikhef.nl -p 2170 -x -b mds-vo-name=resource,o=grid '(&(objectClass=GlueSA)(GlueSAAccessControlBaseRule=VO:dteam))' GlueSATotalOnlineSize GlueSAUsedOnlineSize
dn: GlueSALocalID=test:replica:online,GlueSEUniqueID=tbn18.nikhef.nl,Mds-Vo-na
 me=resource,o=grid
GlueSATotalOnlineSize: 32
GlueSAUsedOnlineSize: 4

-bash-3.2$ lcg-info --list-se --bdii ldap://bdii.grid.sara.nl:2170 --vo dteam --query 'SAVOs=VO:dteam' --attrs 'UsedOnline,TotalOnline'|grep srm.grid.sara.nl -A 7 
- SE: srm.grid.sara.nl
  - UsedOnline          0
                        0                             
                        0                             
  - TotalOnline         0
                        15000                         
                        58681

Note: three values because it is dCache.

-bash-3.2$ lcg-info --list-se --bdii ldap://bdii.grid.sara.nl:2170 --vo dteam --query 'SAVOs=VO:dteam' --attrs 'UsedOnline,TotalOnline'|grep bostorm.bo.infn.it -A 3 
- SE: bostorm.bo.infn.it
  - UsedOnline          0
  - TotalOnline         100

6) Uploading file from UI via SRM client to SE endpoint:

-bash-3.2$ srmcp -2 file:///100M.rand  srm://tbn18.nikhef.nl:8446/dpm/nikhef.nl/home/dteam/100M.rand -debug

Note: In the log above we see that in fact the real SE endpoint is "hooiwagen.nikhef.nl", which is not advertized in BDII, but pre-configured inside SRM WS.

7) Listing file via GO Web and deleting the file via GO Web.

-bash-3.2$ srmls -2 srm://tbn18.nikhef.nl:8446/dpm/nikhef.nl/home/dteam/100M.rand
