[Condor-users] submit to a remote pool, from a linux machine, to an osx manager

[Peter Doherty <doherty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Okay, so I've got an all mac (intel xeons, running OS X 10.5)  
cluster.  I set up the headnode as a central manager running the  
schedd/collector, etc.
It works pretty good.  But I've got a linux box that I want to use to  
submit jobs from.  So I installed condor on the linux box and set the  
condor_config variables to point to the remote pool.
No daemons run on the linux box, I just changed CONDOR_HOST to  
reference the mac central manager.

I can use condor_submit and run jobs, and everything works great.
But when I want to submit a DAG, I run into problems.
1.) the dagman scheduler universe job has requirements (OpSys, Arch)  
that are looking for a LINUX X86_64 machine, but the CM is INTEL, OSX.
2.) the CMD it wants to run is the linux binary of condor_dagman  
(because it pulled the config from the linux box i presume)
So the job just gets stuck eternally in the queue.

I was originally going to go hack up condor_config and I was looking  
for something like DAGMAN_EXE= so I could set it to the osx binary,  
but I don't see that option listed.
that would address #2.
The first one, well, I think I can fix that with something in  
SUBMIT_EXPR, right?  Will that work with condor_submit_dag?

Am I just barking up the wrong tree here?  Should I provision a linux  
CM for the pool?  (I'd rather not, I've got limited resources to work  
with)

One more question, for anyone still reading.
One my linux clusters, if I do something like reboot the CM, the nodes  
all reconnect once the CM is running again.
When I reboot the Mac CM, the nodes get into a funny state.  a  
'killall -HUP condor_master' fixes it right up, but short of that,  
they don't reconnect to the CM.


Thanks.
Peter
