After a pool is added to dCache it is convenient to test if your setup has succeeded. This can be done using the ssh admin interface. An example follows

[root@wn2 root]# ssh -l admin localhost -p 22223 -c blowfish
admin@localhost's password: 

    dCache Admin (VI) (user=admin)


(local) admin > cd PoolManager
(PoolManager) admin > psu ls pool -l
ce.epcc.ed.ac.uk_1  (enabled=true;active=5;links=0;pgroups=1)
 linkList   :
ce.epcc.ed.ac.uk_2  (enabled=true;active=5;links=0;pgroups=1)
 linkList   :
(PoolManager) admin > psu ls pool -a
ce.epcc.ed.ac.uk_1  (enabled=true;active=7;links=0;pgroups=1)
 linkList   :
 pGroupList : 
   default  (links=1;pools=2)
ce.epcc.ed.ac.uk_2  (enabled=true;active=7;links=0;pgroups=1)
 linkList   :
 pGroupList : 
   default  (links=1;pools=2)
(PoolManager) admin > 

This admin interface changes the content of

/opt/d-cache/config/PoolManager.conf
