So the only place I need to change is still the $CONDOR_HOME/etc/condor_config file, right? Here I added the IP of the second collector in the COLLECTOR_HOST variable. Would it be enough to just restart condor on the second server after doing this? I get some errors of this kind when I do this...On Mon March 7 2005 4:18 pm, Prakash Velayutham wrote:Ian Chesal wrote:Hi, I understand that the failover is a feature added in condor-6.7.x versions.

I would like to be corrected in this regard.See: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.7.5/8_2Development_Release.html# SECTION00924000000000000000 The second bullet under "New Features" describes how to define multiple collectors for failover. - IanHi Ian, Thanks. What does the "High Availability" service under new features section in the same link mean (8.2.6 Version 6.7.0)? It says: Added a new ``High Availability'' service to the /condor_ master/. You can now specify a daemon which can have ``fail over'' capabilities (i.e. the master on another machine can start a matching daemon if the first one fails). Currently, this is only available over a shared file system (i.e. NFS), and has only been tested for the /condor_ schedd/. I was looking to implement that. Is that the same as multiple collectors?These are separate mechanisms, at least for now. :-( The feature that you describe above is currently just for schedd fail-over. Separately, in recent 6.7 Condor releases, your pool can now have redundant collectors. A feature that we very much hope will make the next 6.7 release of Condor will provide for a fail-over mechanism for negotiators. This is, again, a different mechanism. -Nick DC_AUTHENTICATE: attempt to open invalid session frontier:17998:1110236945:14, failing Any suggestions? Also is the NEGOTIATOR failover done the same way by adding the second server's IP to NEGOTIATOR_HOST variable? Is there a document that explains how these configs are done? I would be willing to experiment this and write a small doc if required. Thanks, Prakash |
