#XRootDRedirPlugin An XRootD server(cms) plug-in to "redirect" XRootD calls to a locally mounted file system. This only applies if both client and the normally used dataserver have private IP-Adresses/Hostnames

Warning

The source tree includes private header files of the XrdCms source tree(namely XrdCmsFinder.hh) and needs to be kept in sync with the XRootD version source used!

Plug-in configuration

Necessary configuration in XrootD Manager/Redirector Config: redirplugin.localroot /your/localroot/ Optional: redirplugin.readonlyredirect true/false/True/False redirplugin.debug true/false/True/False

Install and tests

To compile the plug-in, you need to set the XRD_PATH environmental variable to the toplevel of your XRootD installation.

You can compile the plug-in library with :

make

You can run one simple bash-tests using xrdcp with :

./tests/Redir_xrdcptest.sh debug

Usage

When using this plug-in, all high level XRootD calls (xrdcp, from TNetXNGFile in ROOT, etc.) should instead be "redirected" to a file available in the local file system.
