Globus Connect Server Node

Overview

Services for Globus Connect Server endpoints may be deployed on multiple different physical resources, referred to as Data Transfer Nodes. Each node may have one or more IP addresses, TCP incoming and outgoing port ranges, and a status value indicating whether it is configured to actively respond to requests or is in maintenance mode.

Node Document

The Data Transfer Node document has the following properties:

Name	Type	Description
DATA_TYPE	string `node#1.0.0`	Type of this document
id	string uuid	Unique id string for this node. This is system generated and should not be included in create requests.
ip_addresses	array (string)	IP addresses of the node.
status	string `active`, `inactive`	Current status of the Node. If a Node is marked inactive, it is not included in the DNS entry for this endpoint, and any attempts to use the GCS Manager API or attempt a Transfer using this node will fail.
incoming_port_range	array[2] (integer)	Allowed port range for incoming TCP data connections.
outgoing_port_range	array[2] (integer)	Port range used as the source for outgoing TCP data connections.
