In this section we will have a look at the configuration and log files of dCache.
The dCache software is installed in various directories
according to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. All
configuration files can be found in /etc/dcache
.
Log files of domains are by default stored in
/var/log/dcache/<domainName>.log
.
More details about domains and cells can be found in Chapter 5, The Cell Package.
The most central component of a dCache instance is the
PoolManager
cell. It reads additional configuration
information from the file
/var/lib/dcache/config/poolmanager.conf
at
start-up. However, it is not necessary to restart the domain
when changing the file. We will see an example of this below.
