This dCache plugin interfaces with the Endit TSM integration system.
To compile the plugin, run:
mvn package
To install the plugin, unpack the resulting tarball in the dCache
plugin directory (usually /usr/local/share/dcache/plugins).
To use, define a nearline storage in the dCache admin interface:
hsm create osm the-hsm-name endit -directory=/path/to/endit/directory
The endit directory must be on the same file system as the pool's data directory.
The above will create a provider that uses the JVMs file event notification feature which in most cases maps directly to a native file event notification facility of the operating system.
To use a provider that polls for changes, use:
hsm create osm osm the-hsm-name -directory=/path/to/endit/directory
This provider accepts two additional options with the following default values:
-threads=1
-period=5000
The first is the number of threads used for polling for file changes and the second is the poll period in milliseconds.
