Re: [HTCondor-users] Preparations to move master machine?

["Bockelman, Brian" <BBockelman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steffen,

As an alternate approach -

You could add both host names to COLLECTOR_HOST and reconfig hosts to ensure that they start reporting to both hosts.

Once both are fully populated, then stop the negotiator on the old one and start it on the new one.

Finally, remove the old collector from the configuration and do condor_reconfig.

Note you would want to do this on worker nodes first, then on the schedd daemons, and only do the user environment after the cutover (as user tools will randomly query one collector from the list).

If you need to do this regularly, you can use the condor_had to automatically cutover between central managers.

HTH,

Brian
