Description

StoRM Puppet module allows administrators to easily configure StoRM services. Currently, the supported services are:

  • StoRM Backend
  • StoRM Frontend
  • StoRM WebDAV
  • StoRM Globus GridFTP server

Setup

StoRM Puppet module is available on puppet forge:

puppet module install cnafsd-storm

You can also build and install module from source code as follow:

git clone https://github.com/italiangrid/storm-puppet-module.git
cd storm-puppet-module
puppet module build
puppet module install ./pkg/cnafsd-storm-*.tar.gz

Usage

With this Puppet module, administrators can configure StoRM services. Some utility classes are also provided to configure users, storage directories and pool accounts, if needed.

StoRM users utility class

To create the default StoRM users and groups you can use the storm::users utility class.

Use:

include storm::users

to create default scenario:

  • storm group with id 1100
  • edguser group with id 1101
  • storm user with id 1100, member of storm and edguser groups
  • edguser user with id 1101, member of edguser and storm groups

You can also customize and create your own users and groups as follow:

class { 'storm::users':
  groups => {
    infosys => {
      gid => '996',
    },
  },
  users  => {
    edguser => {
      comment => 'Edguser user',
      groups  => [ edguser, infosys, storm, ],
      uid     => '995',
      gid     => '995',
      home    => '/home/edguser',
    },
    storm   => {
      comment => 'StoRM user',
      groups  => [ storm, edguser, ],
      uid     => '991',
      gid     => '991',
      home    => '/home/storm',
    },
  },
}

Check here for all the class options.

StoRM storage utility class

To create the root directories of your storage areas, you can use the storm::storage utility class. It's mainly used for test purposes. We expected not to use this class on production.

Use:

include storm::storage

to create /storage directory owned by 'storm' user and '755' as permissions. You can specify a different list of directories as follow:

class { 'storm::storage':
  root_directories => [
    '/storage',
    '/storage/test.vo',
    '/storage/dteam',
  ],
}

Check here for all the class options.
