Description
Storage Resource Managers (SRM) are middleware components whose function is
to provide dynamic space allocation and file management on shared storage
components on the data grid, as well as interfaces to the underlying storage
resources. SRM is based on a common specification that emerged over years
through an international collaboration. As this specification is being
adapted to different storage systems, a consistent interface behavior to the
Grid becomes a challenge, since sites have their own diverse storage
infrastructures. Compatibility and interoperability testing for multiple
SRM implementations will be discussed.
