YAIM configuration tool  

StoRM for CentOS 6 is currently configured using the YAIM tool.

The aim of YAIM (Yet Another Installation Manager) is to implement a configuration method for the gLite software. YAIM is a set of bash scripts and functions. YAIM is distributed in rpm form and it usually resides in /opt/glite/yaim. In order to configure a site, one or more configuration files are edited and the YAIM script is then executed. Since YAIM is mainly bash, all the configuration files have to follow the bash syntax. For example, no space between the equal sign and the key-value variables are allowed.

WRONG :

SITE_NAME = NorthPole

CORRECT:

SITE_NAME=NorthPole

A good syntax test for the site-info.def is to source it:

source ./site-info.def

and look for errors. YAIM will check this for you anyway.

The most common way to configure a service with YAIM is to create a site-info.def file in your configuration directory. For example, create /etc/storm/site-info.def and add all the variables summarized in next sections as your needed.
