Hi all,

so the module should be able to configure a dpm with xrootd as head node or disk node, but _without_ federation.
It would be great, if you could test that.

The federation part is trickier and I am still working on it.
If you want to have a look at this, I believe it can follow the same schema as the other configs, look into "modules/dmlite/manifest/xrootd.pp".

Cheers
Martin

I am by no means an expert on puppet, but I do have some experience crafting puppet modules and templates for different services. I have some spare time right now, so if you'd like me to take a look at your specific setup let me know.
