Based on the experience gained during a couple of Dcache installations an RPM (d-cache-ral) containing several scripts to help administrators during Dcache installation and configuration was provided.

In order to yum install the RPM, add the following to your /etc/yum.conf file

[sl-storage]
name=SL  Storage group packages
baseurl=http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/yum/datastore/sl3.0.3/
     

and issue

yum install d-cache-ral

or to apt-get install the RPM, add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gpp_storage.list file

rpm http://storage.esc.rl.ac.uk/ apt/datastore/sl3.0.3 testing
stable obsolete
rpm http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/gis
apt/LCG_CA/en/i386 lcg
rpm http://grid-deployment.web.cern.ch/grid-deployment/gis
apt/LCG-2_4_0/sl3/en/i386 lcg_sl3 lcg_sl3.updates
     

and issue

apt-get update
apt-get install d-cache-ral
