ctaopsadmin]# cta-ops-admin drive ls
Could not find config for tool cta-ops-admin in /etc/cta-ops/cta-ops-config.yaml
What goes into the cta ops admin config file? Do you have some examples?
Hi Jeff,
there is an full example config file at the root of that repo: cta-ops-config.yaml · master · cta / CTA Operations utilities · GitLab
You should need only the global and the cta-ops-admin sections to get going with this tool.
Note that one should adapt it to the local environment. Change paths to binaries, configure tape drive to library mappings, etc.
If you’re on AlmaLinux9 already you may also want to have a look at the alma9 branch. It isn’t merged into master yet, but you can build the pip packages yourself in the mean time.
Does this run on a tape drive server or the cta frontend? It looks like it needs both access to the cta-admin and tape server commands cta-smc, etc.
Hi Jeff,
the cta-ops-admin tool is intended to be used on both tape servers and cta-frontends. In both cases one will need to install the dependencies.
Certain features are only available based on where the tool is run. For instance, cta-ops-admin drive ls --local will only work on a tape server.
