Re: [Condor-users] Stoping a VM & to start from Snaphshot

["Jaeyoung Yoon" <jaeyoungyoon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Johnson,

Let me clarify your question..

By submitting another vanilla job, you want to cancel the running VM
job or stop(complete) the running VM.  As you know, Condor thinks that
a VM job is normally completed when the VM is shut downed. I guess you
want to have the VM job completed. Is it right?

I think if an execute machine can run a Condor job at a time, you
can't complete the Running VM job by submitting another vanilla job.
For example, even if the vanilla job could preempt the Running VM, the
Running VM will be vacated because the execute machine can run only
one job at a time.

Regards,
-jaeyoung
