FileStager

Requirements for using the File Stager

• A valid grid certificate

• Grid environment setup correctly:

     source /global/ices/lcg/glite3.2.4/external/etc/profile.d/grid-env.sh

Troubleshooting

    Error with lcg_cp utility!Error message: Some error message from the Lcg_util middleware
    Checking file size:File does not exist, or problems with gfal library.

This is usually indication that no valid certificate exists, or that the grid environment is not setup correctly. Try:

    echo $LCG_LOCATION

to see if this environment variable is set correctly. It should point to some directory like

   /global/ices/lcg/glite3.2.4/lcg

Also try:

  lcg-cp -v --vo lhcb srm://aFiletoStage file:/tmp/localFileCopy

If this isn't working correctly, ask a grid expert to solve the problem.
