SRM has been retired #61

Closed adamboutcher closed 4 years ago

adamboutcher commented 4 years ago

As part of an upgrade to grid storage, SRM is no long supported and has been retired please ensure that you don't use SRM at sites that no longer support it. gsiftp, xrootd and davs are prefered methods.

FYI Durham no longer supports it ;-)

Just as a side node: running with srm wouldn't result in an error, but it is internally forwarded to gsiftp.

SRM currently internally makes gsiftp calls but this may not be true once SRM and "dpm-legacy" is retired fully as I'm sure the SRM endpoint wouldn't be listening at all. We haven't yet turned it off but plan to very soon.

We will test and give feedback but I'd suggest to bin off any SRM calls in favour for xroot or gsiftp which would give cleaner code and be more portable. outside of Durham.

Hi @adamboutcher - could you advise on whether dav and davs are aliases of one another, or are distinct protocols?

adamboutcher commented 4 years ago

They are alias of the same thing.

SRM now removed. Thanks for the heads-up!
