LHC Computing Grid i LCG File Catalog

  • In order to work with LFC user need to set environmental variables
    • $LFC_HOST (address of LFC server)
    • $LCG_CATALOG_TYPE (catalog type)
  • You can check whether variables are set with :
    • echo $LFC_HOST
    • echo $LCG_CATALOG_TYPE
  • If variables are not set, user can define them with:
    • export LFC_HOST=grid02.rcub.bg.ac.rs
    • export LCG_CATALOG_TYPE=lfc
  • User can get list of available LFC server with command:
    • lcg-infosites --vo sgdemo lfc
  • You can also list available SE,CE ...
  • User must make proxy for appropriate organization



Useful commands :

  • lcg-cr – copies file to SE and register in catalog
  • lcg-cp – copies file from grid to local destination
  • lcg-del – delete one file from grid
  • lcg-rep – makes file replica on other SE
  • lcg-aa – makes new alias (new LFN) in catalog for given GUID or existing LFN
  • lcg-ra – delete existing alias for given GUID
  • lcg-rf – register existing file on SE into catalog
  • lcg-uf – delete register info of file on SE from catalog
  • lcg-la – LFN prints out all aliases for given SURL, GUID or LFN
  • lcg-lg – prints out GUID for given LFN or SURL
  • lcg-lr – prints out all replicas for given GUID, SURL or LFN
  • lfc-mkdir – create new directory in catalog
  • lfc-chmod – changes permissions for using a file or directory
  • lfc-chown – changes owner of file or directory
  • lfc-setcomment – adds comment on file
