Hi Condor users, One of the core tasks of my new job at Garrad Hassan
is managing the Condor pool. It was set up recently by my predecessor and
handed down to me in a fully functioning manner. My role involves maintaining
it only. Since the guy I have replaced has now left the company, I am the only
one with any real knowledge of how it works. I am happy with the basics of
managing the flock, but I have hit a problem I have never seen before and don’t
know how to deal it. I imagine it is a very simple issue but since I don’t
know the “under the bonnet” workings of condor, I am unsure of what
to do. The network server that the master computer is
installed on was recently upgraded and all data has been migrated onto a new
server with a different DFS address. This change initially had no impact on the
Condor pool but it came to my attention that once a computer that was part of
the pool was rebooted, it left the flock and did not join again. It is still
running the main daemons and the daemons still have firewall access. I imagine
it cannot join the flock because it is perhaps looking for a config file in the
wrong location. So my question is, at what stage in the condor
installation is the server address dictated and how would I go about changing
it? As you have probably gathered by now, I have very
limited knowledge of Condor and computing in general! I apologize in advance if
anything I have said is confusing to the experienced user and if I have missed
out any vital information you may require for diagnosing the issue. Getting the
computers back in the pool is a major priority for my company because a lot of
the work within my department relies on the outputs of the Condor machines. As
such, I would be hugely grateful for any helps or hints you may be able to
provide me with. Many thanks,
