Error

You get this with srmcp:

$ srmcp -debug=true file://localhost//tmp/hello srm://dpm01.pic.es:8443/dpm/pic.es/home/dteam/testdir2/test-srmcp

Or a similar error with globus-url-copy, or another utility.

Solution

The problem is that some utilities use Permanent as their default and some others Volatile.

For instance :

• srmcp doesn't work if your pool is of volatile type.
• globus-url-copy doesn't work if your pool is of permanent type.

You have two possibilities :

• Modify the type of the pool to "-" (this type allows both Volatile and Permanent files):

dpm-modifypool --poolname <my_pool> --s_type "-"

• Create two pools, one Volatile and one Permanent

Help !

If it still doesn't help, send the relevant DPM log files to helpdesk@ggusNOSPAMPLEASE.org (remove the NONSPAM !).
