[mailto:glue-wg-bounces@ogf.org] On Behalf Of Maarten.Litmaath@cern.ch said: For example, a dCache instance might have a fixed gsidcap or gsiftp server for legacy clients that cannot deal with the SRM.
I suppose we discussed this before the public comment phase, but I do not recall the outcome, so I went with the content of the "pc_r2" draft currently published on the GLUE web site: the access protocol would have to be published as an Interface.
Yes, I think it's published as a StorageEndpoint with the protocol type as the InterfaceName, if that's what you mean. (Potentially you could have more than one, e.g. several gridftp servers.)
7.4 StorageEndpoint
A StorageEndpoint represents a service that can be contacted by clients to manage StorageShares and to store or retrieve data.
Hmm ... this reminds me of something I think I've asked before. Do you use StorageEndpoint to publish *any* endpoint for a storage service, or just the specifically storage-related things? For example, say you had a monitoring service running on an SE - Nagios for example - and you wanted to publish the endpoint for that. Would you publish it as a StorageEndpoint or an Endpoint?
