Did you also configure MYTHINGY as a startd attr?

 

STARTD_ATTRS = $(STARTD_ATTRS) MYTHINGY

 

That is needed if you want MYTHINGY to show up in condor_status.  The configuration that you show below is what is needed to allow MYTHINGY to be changed by condor_config_val -set.

 

-tj

Subject: [HTCondor-users] Custom Machine ClassAd

 

Hi,

 

I would like to assign a custom ClassAd to a group of machines and request certain jobs to prefer using that group of machines. A quick Google turns up this web page:

 

https://www-auth.cs.wisc.edu/lists/htcondor-users/2011-July/msg00227.shtml

 

Following the suggestions on that page, I have tried (note the quote in the custom ClassAd)

ALLOW_CONFIG = *

SETTABLE_ATTRS_CONFIG = *

SETTABLE_ATTRS_OWNER = MYTHINGY

MYTHINGY = "blah"

However

> condor_reconfig

> condor_status -long | grep MYTHINGY

turns up nothing.

My HTCondor version:

> condor_version

$CondorVersion: 8.4.7 Aug 04 2016

$CondorPlatform: X86_64-Ubuntu_14.04 $

Is using custom machine ClassAd a good way of achieving my goals? If so, how do I set custom machine ClassAds?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Jason
