Managing a CVMFS area at RAL

• Source a grid UI, usually off /cvmfs/grid.cern.ch/:
  For SL6:

   source /cvmfs/grid.cern.ch/umd-sl6ui-test/etc/profile.d/setup-ui-example.sh 

  
  For SL7:

   source /cvmfs/grid.cern.ch/umd-c7ui-test/etc/profile.d/setup-c7-ui-example.sh 

• Get a proxy for your VO with the lcgadmin role:
  

  voms-proxy-init --voms your_VO:/your_VO/Role=lcgadmin

• Use gsissh to access the upload node:
  

  gsissh -p 1975 cvmfs-upload01.gridpp.rl.ac.uk

  
  You will see a link called 'cvmfs_repo'. If you cd into it, you should see your VOs code.

• Use gsicp to copy files onto the node. (Note the upper case 'P'.)
  

   gsiscp -P 1975 myfile cvmfs-upload01.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:./cvmfs_repo/myfile
