[HTCondor-users] load-balanced central manager?

[Pek Daniel <pekdaniel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Is it possible to use Condor in a way like there's multiple running
instances of every component (including negotiator) in a pool, and in
this way to provide a load-balanced fail-tolerant environment? Or is
it possible to use only one single negotiator in a pool at once (I
know it's possible to do fail-over with had)?

I've read about flocking also. So in that way there'd be a number of
pools available with their own central managers. What happens before a
job get flocked? Does flocking help to provide some kind of load
balancing between several central managers? Or it makes the situation
even worse because it requires extra work from central managers?

Thanks,
Daniel
