What is dmlite-dpm-dsi
The dpm-dsi package provides a Disk Pool Manager (DPM) plugin for the Globus GridFTP server, following the Globus Data Storage Interface (DSI). The Disk Pool Manager (DPM) is a lightweight storage solution for grid sites. It offers a simple way to create a disk-based grid storage element and supports relevant protocols (SRM, gridFTP, RFIO) for file management and access. Globus provides open source grid software, including a server implementation of the GridFTP protocol. This plugin implements the DPM backend specifics required to expose the data using this protocol.
