Introduction

This document contains the interface specification of SRM 2.1.� It incorporates the functionality of SRM 2.0 (see http://sdm.lbl.gov/srm-wg/doc/srm.methods.v2.0.doc), but is much expanded to include additional functionality, especially in the area of dynamic storage space reservation and directory functionality in client-acquired storage spaces.

This document reflects the discussions and conclusions of a 2-day meeting in December 2002, as well as subsequent email correspondence and conference calls.� The purpose of this activity is to further define the functionality and standardize the interface of Storage Resource Managers (SRMs) � a Grid middleware component.� This document is a follow up to the basic SRM design consideration document that describes the basic functionality of SRM Version 2.0 �

(see http://sdm.lbl.gov/srm-wg/doc/SRM.v2.0.joint.func.design.doc).

The document is organized in four sections.� The first, called �Defined Structures� contain all the type definitions used to define the functions (or methods).� The next 3 sections contain the specification of �Space Management Functions�, �Directory Functions�, and �Data Transfer Functions�.� All the �Space Management Functions�, �Directory Functions� are newly added functions, and �Data Transfer Functions� are slightly modified versions of the SRM V2.0 specification.

It is advisable to read the document SRM.v2.1.joint.func.design.doc posted at http://sdm.lbl.gov/srm-wg before reading this specification, since the reasoning for the decisions reflected in this specification are described there in detail.

Meaning of terms

By �https� we mean http: protocol with GSI authentication. At this time, any implementation of http with GSI authentication could be used. It is advisable that the implementation is compatible with Globus Toolkit 3.0 or later versions.

� Primitive types used below are consistent with XML build-in schema types: i.e.

o long is 64bit: (+/-) 9223372036854775807

o int is 32 bit: (+/-) 2147483647

o short is 16 bit: (+/-) 32767

o unsignedLong ranges (inclusive): 0 to18446744073709551615

o unsignedInt ranges (inclusive): 0 to 4294967295

o unsignedShort ranges (inclusive): 0 to 65535

� The definition of the type �anyURI� used below is compliant with the XML standard. See http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#anyURI.�� It is defined as: "The lexical space of anyURI is finite-length character sequences which, when the algorithm defined in Section 5.4 of [XML Linking Language] is applied to them, result in strings which are legal URIs according to [RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732]".

� In �localSURLInfo�,� we mean local to the SRM that is processing the request.

� TStorageSystemInfo is added in the arguments of functions srmPrepareToGet() srmPrepareToPut() and srmCopy(). This is to simplify the case when all files sent to the request share the same storageSystemInfo. If storageSystemInfo is provided at the request level and the file level, SRM will use the one provided at the file level.

notes:

� StorageSystemInfo is a string that contains the login and password required by the storage system.� For example, it might have the form of login:passwd@hostname, where �:� is a reserved separator between login and passwd. If hostname is not provided, it is defaulted to what�s in the accompanying site URL or the host of SRM.

� TMetaDataSpace can refer to a single space of each type (i.e. volatile, durable, permanent).� It does not include the extra space needed to hold the directory structures.

� Regarding file sharing by the SRM, it is a local implementation decision.� An SRM can choose to share files by proving multiple users access to the same physical file, or by copying a file into another user�s space.� Either way, if an SRM chooses to share a file (that is, avoid reading a file over again from the source site) the SRM should check with the source site whether the user has a read/write permission. Only if permission is granted, the file can be shared.

� The type definition SURL above is used for both site URL and the �Storage File Name� (stFN). This was done in order to simplify the notation.� Recall that stFN is the file path/name of the intended storage location when a file is put (or copied) into an SRM controlled space. �Thus, a stFN can be thought of a special case of an SURL, where the protocol is assumed to be �srm� and the machine:port is assumed to be local to the SRM.� For example, when the request srmCopy� is made, the source file is specified by a site URL, and the target location can be optionally specified as a stFN.� By considering the stFN a special case of an SURL, an srmCopy takes SURLs as both the source and target parameters.

� The requestToken assigned by SRM is unique and immutable (non-reusable).� For example, if the date:time is part of the requestToken it will be immutable.

�� �notes:

� lifetimeOfSpaceToReserve is not needed if requesting permanent space.

� SRM can provide default size and lifetime if not supplied.

� storageSystemInfo is optional in case storage system requires additional security check.

� If sizeOfTotalSpaceDesired is not specified, the SRM will return its default quota.

srmReleaseSpace

�� In: �� TUserID�� userID,

TSpaceToken�� spaceToken,

TStorageSystemInfo�� storageSystemInfo,

�� Boolean�� forceFileRelease

Out:�� TReturnStatus�� returnStatus

notes:

� forceFileRelease=false is default.� This means that the space will not be released if it has files that are still pinned in the space.� To release the space regardless of the files it contains and their status forceFileRelease=true must be specified.

� To be safe, a request to release a reserved space that has an on-going file transfer will return false, even forceFileRelease= true.

� When space is releasable and forceFileRelease=true, all the files in the space are released, even in durable or permanent space.

� When space is released, the files in that space are treated according to their types: If permanent, keep it. If durable, perform action at the end of lifetime. If Volatile, release it at the end of lifetime.

srmUpdateSpace

�� In:�� TUserID�� userID,

TSpaceToken�� spaceToken,

TSizeInBytes�� newSizeOfTotalSpaceDesired,

TSizeInBytes�� newSizeOfGuaranteedSpaceDesired,

TStorageSystemInfo�� storageSystemInfo

�� Out:��

TSizeInBytes�� sizeOfTotalSpace, �� // best effort

TSizeInBytes�� sizeOfGuaranteedSpace,�� TLifeTimeInSeconds� �� lifetimeGranted,

TReturnStatus�� returnStatus

notes:

� Includes size and time

� If neither size nor lifetime are supplied in the input, then return will be null.

� newSize is the new actual size of the space, so has to be positive.

� newLifetimeFromCallingTime is the new lifetime requested regardless of the previous lifetime, and has to be positive.� It might even be shorter than the remaining lifetime at the time of the call.

srmCompactSpace

�� In:�� TUserID�� userID,

TSpaceToken�� spaceToken,

TStorageSystemInfo�� storageSystemInfo,

�� Boolean�� doDynamicCompactFromNowOn

Out:�� TSizeInBytes�� newSizeOfThisSpace,

TReturnStatus�� returnStatus

notes:

� This function is called to reclaim the space for all released files and update space size in Durable and Permanent spaces. Files not released are not going to be removed (even if lifetime expired.)�

� doDynamicCompactFromNowOn=false by default, which implies that only a one time compactSpace will take place.

� If doDynamicCompactFromNowOn=true, then the space of released files will be automatically compacted until the value of doDynamicCompactFromNowOn is set to false.

� When space is compacted, the files in that space do not have to be removed by the SRM.� For example, the SRM can choose to move them to volatile space.� The client will only perceive that the compacted space is now available to them.

� To physically force a removal of a file, the client should use srmRm.

notes:

� Applies to both dir andfile

� Either path must be supplied.

� If a path is pointing to a directory, then the effect is recursive for all the files in this directory.

� Space allocation and de-allocation maybe involved.

Permission Functions

summary:

srmSetPermission

�� In: �� TUserID�� userID,

TPermissionType�� permissionType,

TOwnerPermission�� ownerPermission,

TUserPermission[]�� userPermission,

TGroupPermission[]�� groupPermission,

TOtherPermission�� otherPermission

Out:�� TReturnStatus�� returnStatus

Notes:

� Applies to both dir and file

� Support for srmSetPermission is optional.

� In this version, TPermissionMode is identical to Unix permission modes.

� User permissions are provided in order to support dynamic user-level permission assignment similar to Access Control Lists (ACLs).

� Permissions can be assigned to set of users and sets of groups, but only a single owner.

� In this version, SRMs do not provide any group operations (setup, modify, remove, etc.)

� Groups are assumed to be setup before srmSetPermission is used.

� If TPermissionType is ADD or CHANGE, and TPermissionMode is null, then it is assumed that TPermissionMode is READ only.

� If TPermissionType is REMOVE, then the TPermissionMode is ignored.

srmReassignToUser

�� In:�� TUserID�� userID,

string�� assignedUser,

�� TLifeTimeInSeconds�� lifeTimeOfThisAssignment,��

�� TSURLInfo�� path �� // file or dir��

�� Out:�� TReturnStatus�� returnStatus��

notes:

� After lifeTimeOfThisAssignment time period, or when assignedUser obtained a copy of files through srmCopy(), the files involved are released and space is compacted automatically, which ever is first.

� This function implies actual lifetime of file/space involved is extended up to the lifeTimeOfThisAssignment.

� The caller must be the owner of the files to be reassigned.

� permission is omitted because it has to be READ permission.

� lifeTimeOfThisAssignment is relative to the calling time. So it must be positive.

� If the path here is a directory, then all the files under it are included recursively.

� If there are any files involved that are released before this function call, then these files will not be involved in reassignment, even if they are still in the space.

� If a compact() is called� before this function is complete, then this function has priority over compact().� Compact will be done automatically as soon as files are copies to the assignedUser. Whether to dynamically compact or not is an implementation choice.

��

srmCheckPermission

�� In:�� TSURLInfo[]� �� arrayOfSiteURL

�� TUserID�� userID,

�� Boolean�� checkInLocalCacheOnly // default: false

�� Out:�� TSURLPermissionReturn[] �� arrayOfPermissions

TReturnStatus�� returnStatus

notes:

� When checkInLocalCacheOnly=true, then SRM will only check files in its local cache. Otherwise, if a file is not in its local cache, then SRM will go to the siteURL to check the user permission.

� If checkInLocalCacheOnly = false, SRM can choose to always check the siteURL for user permission of each file. It is also ok if SRM choose to check its local cache first, if a file exists and the user has permission, return that permission. Otherwise, check the siteURL and return permission.

Directory Functions

�� Out: �� TMetaDataPathDetail[] details,

TReturnStatus�� returnStatus

notes:

� Applies to both dir and file

� fullDetailedList=false by default.

o For directories, only path is required to be returned.

o For files, path and size are required to be returned.

� If fullDetailedList=true, the full details are returned.

o For directories, path and userPermission are required to be returned.

o For files, path, size, userPermission, lastModificationTime, typeOfThisFile, and lifetimeLeft are required to be returned, similar to unix command ls �l.

� If allLevelRecursive=true then file lists of all level below current will be provided as well.

� If allLevelRecursive is "true" it dominates, i.e. ignore numOfLevels.� If allLevelRecursive is "false" or missing, then do numOfLevels.� If numOfLevels is "0" (zero) or missing, assume a single level.� If both allLevelRecursive and numOfLevels are missing, assume a single level.

� When listing for a particular type specified by �fileStorageType�, only the files with that type will be in the output.

� Empty directories will be returned.

� We recommend width first in the listing.

� We recommend that list of directories come before list of files in the return array (details).

notes:

� The userRequestDescription is a user designated name for the request.� It can be used in the getRequestID method to get back the system assigned request ID.�

� Only� pull mode is supported.

� SRM� assigns the requestToken at this time.

� Normally this call will be followed by srmRelease().

� �retryTime� means: if all the file transfer for this request are complete, then try previously failed transfers for a total time period of �retryTime�.

� In case that the retries fail, the return should include an explanation of why the retries failed.

� This call is an asynchronous (non-blocking) call. To get subsequent status and results, separate calls should be made.

� When the file is ready for the user, the file is implicitly pinned in the cache and lifetime will be enforced.

� The invocation of srmReleaseFile() is expected for finished files later on.

�� TReturnStatus�� returnStatus,

�� TPutRequestFileStatus[]�� arrayOfFileStatus

notes:

� Only push mode is supported for srmPrepareToPut.

� StFN (�toSURLInfo� in the TPutFileRequest) has to be local. If stFN is not specified, SRM will name it automatically and put it in the specified user space. This will be returned as part of the �transfer URL�.

� srmPutDone() is expected after each file is �put� into the allocated space.

� The lifetime of the file starts as soon as SRM get the srmPutDone().� If srmPutDone() is not provided then the files in that space are subject to removal when the space lifetime expires.

� �retryTime� is meaningful here only when the file destination is not a local disk, such as tape or MSS.

� In case that the retries fail, the return should include an explanation of why the retires failed.

�� TReturnStatus�� returnStatus,

�� TCopyRequestFileStatus[]� �� arrayOfFileStatus

notes:

� Pull mode: copy from remote location to SRM. (e.g. from remote to MSS.)

� Push mode: copy from SRM to remote location.

� Always release files from source after copy is done.

� When removeSourceFiles=true, then SRM will� remove the source files on behalf of the caller after copy is done.

� In pull mode, send srmRelease() to remote location when transfer is done.

� If in push mode, then after transfer is done, notify the caller. User can then release the file. If user releases a file being copied to another location before it is done, then refuse to release.

� Note there is no protocol negotiation with the client for this request.

� �retryTime� means: if all the file transfer for this request are complete, then try previously failed transfers for a total time period of �retryTime�.

� In case that the retries fail, the return should include an explanation of why the retires failed.

� When both fromSURL and toSURL are local, perform local copy

� Empty directories are copied as well.

� The number of lifetime extensions maybe limited by SRM according to its policies.

� IsExtended = false if SRM refuse to do it. (set newTimeExtended = 0 in this case.)

� If original lifetime is longer than the requested one, then the requested one will be assigned.

� If newLifeTime is not specified, the SRM can use its default to assign the newLifeTime.

SRM WSDL discovery method

May 1, 2003

�

A) SURL format:

srm://host[:port]/[soap_end_point_path?SFN=]site_file_name

where [�] means optional, and letters in bold are fixed.

We note if the SURL contains the soap_end_point_path, then� it is not possible to change the soap endpoint without changing all the previously published SURLs.

Example SURLs:

Without soap_end_point_path:

srm://dm.lbl.gov:4001/ABC/file_x

with soap_end_point_path:

srm://dm.lbl.gov:4001/srm_servlet?SFN=ABC/file_x

B) Given that soap-end-point-path clause is provided, then the soap endpoint is:

https://host[:port]/soap_end_point_path

C)� If port is missing, the default port assumed is 8443, which is the port for https with GSI.

The discussion below assumes no endpoint in the SURL, and shows how the soap endpoints and wsdl can be found given an SURL�

Issues:

1. We wish to have a way of finding the SRM WSDL for multiple versions from the SURL.

2. We wish to support clients that know what SRM version they want to use.� For example, a client that uses version 1.1, should be able to got the WSDL and/or the SOAP endpoint for it directly.

3. We wish to have a default where an SRM version number is not mentioned.� The version returned in this case is whatever the SRM currently supports, or if multiple versions are supported, the SRM chooses what to return.

4. We wish to allow a file accessed by a previous SRM version to be accessed by a future SRM version without having to change the SURL.� Furthermore, if the file can be accessed by either version simultaneously (that depend on the SRM implementation) that should be possible too.

5. We wish to have a way for a client to find out which version the SRM supports and the endpoint without having to read the WSDL.� This is necessary in a changing world, where new version can be introduced.�

6. We wish to have a client that can use multiple SRM versions to find out which SRM version is supported by the SRM.� This is probably the most realistic scenario, since we cannot expect all SRMs to support the same version at any one time.

7. We wish to have a client find out which SRM versions are supported for accessing a particular file, in case that files can be accessed by multiple SRM versions simultaneously.� This is related to point 3 above.

This is a long wish list, but the proposed solution is simple.� We assume that the WSDL will contain the version number.� First, we propose that every SRM WSDL starts with:

SRM version number--> (e.g. )

Now, the solution is as follows:

Give an SURL: srm://host[:port]/path/file (e.g. srm://dm.lbl.gov:4001/ABC/file_x)

The following can be derived:

Case 1)

For clients that know what SRM versions they want to use:

https://host:port/srm/srm.version.wsdl

https://host:port/srm/srm.version.endpoint

For example, given the SURL above, and the client uses version 1.1, you derive:

https://dm.lbl.gov:4001/srm/srm.1.1.wsdl

https://dm.lbl.gov:4001/srm/srm.1.1.endpoint

Note: the endpoint returned can be any URI, e.g.: https://gizmo.lbl.gov:10001/srm/v1.0

or:� https://dm.lbl.gov:12345/servlet/srm.1.1)

Case 2)

For clients that don�t know the version, and want to use the default:

https://host:port/srm/srm.wsdl

https://host:port/srm/srm.endpoint

For the example above:

https://dm.lbl.gov:4001/srm/srm.wsdl

https://dm.lbl.gov:4001/srm/srm.endpoint

Case 3)

For clients that want to find out the SRM version and endpoint without getting the entire WSDL:

https://host:port/srm/srm.info

The srm.info file will contain:

For example:

Case 4)

For servers that support multiple srm version accessing the SAME file:

The same format as above repeating for each srm version.

For example:

To summarize, the following is what should be supported for WSDL and endpoint discovery:

Given an SURL:

srm://host[:port]/site_file_name

The following can be derived:

a) https://host[:port]/srm/srm[.version].wsdl

b) https://host[:port]/srm/srm[.version].endpoint

c) https://host[:port]/srm/srm.info

Where the content have the format repeated as many time as there are supported versions:
