new to clustering. I've read through much of the condor users and admin
manuals, but there is a HUGE amount of information. I have managed to get
the basic condor install done on several machines, and it seems to work fine
with the examples.
My question is:
Now what? :) Is there some kind of reference/tutorial/book (Condor for
Dummies?) that can help me customize my install for my needs? Essentially, I
plan on having lots of computers in the pool with each possibly having 1 of
3 different programs on them. How do I identify the computers with a certain
program on it, so I can then write a script to submit a job on those
computers with the software?
For instance,
Fluent is one of the programs I would like to know is on a computer in the
pool. The program is usually located in the "c:\Fluent.Inc\ntbin\ntx86"
directory. How would I make a submit file that would identify those machines
with fluent on them?
The machines should advertise what programs they have in their machine
ads (the ads that condor_status normally displays. To see the full ads, use
-l). Then the jobs can require to be matched with a machine which has the
program it needs.
For example, put the following in the local config file of the
machine:
HasFluent = True
STARTD_EXPRS = HasFluent
Then, put the following in the job submit file:
requirements = HasFluent =?= True
