Re: [HTCondor-users] Adding Windows (7) machine to pool

["Dunn, George Jr" <dunng@xxxxxxxx>]

Maybe the windows machines are not supposed to show up in condor_status?

any any event  I have a follow-up that might be a better option. I came across the coLinux stuff and am intrigued. My only reservation is that it seems this project is kindof inactive. Is there something that is more recently updated for running linux inside of windows that I am missing?

I guess I could use cygwin or mingw along the same lines but I like the idea of having a "real" linux OS to work with.

Can anyone please shed some light on my ignorance?

Thanks!
Eddie

Subject: [HTCondor-users] Adding Windows (7) machine to pool

Hi I have a basic one node linux condor pool. I want to add a single windows machine. I installed the msi (same version as master  7.8.8) with the following: (from here http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/manual/v7.8/3_2Installation.html#SECTION00425200000000000000)



…

STEP 2:

Set existing pool with FQDN of master.



STEP 3:

Always Run Jobs and never suspend



STEP 7:

Host permissions * on all for troubleshooting





I also set



   TRUST_UID_DOMAIN = True

   SOFT_UID_DOMAIN = True

On the windows machine to match my master node.

When I run a condor_status on either the new node or the master I just get the slots listed for the master.

Should windows machines show up in condor_status listing?

Right now I want to use this just to run matlab and R jobs on windows. Seems like a fairly simple undertaking but appareantly not for me!! ☺


I would love to find a more in depth step by step with more gotchas and examples for different types of environments. Does one exists perhaps a book that I might be able to purchase?

Thanks!
Eddie
