[Condor-users] Central Manager Specifications

[<Greg.Hitchen@xxxxxxxx>]

Title: Central Manager Specifications

Just a general question as regards the computing requirements of a Central Manager for Condor.

Are there any special requirements, hardware-wise, for the central manager of a condor pool.
i.e. speed, ram, hard disk, etc. My understanding is that nothing "special" is required, so long
as it is a decent machine capable of running it's chosen OS with no problems.

Are there any scalability issues, for example, if the pool was increased from 100 to say an
unlikely size of 10,000?

Thanks for any info/thoughts.

Cheers

Greg
