Condor NFSLite Jobmanager

What is the Condor NFSLite Jobmanager?

This job manager is Condor using file transfer instead of using NFS. It is named NFSLite because there may be other reasons to be using NFS, but the job will be transferring necessary files rather than using the shared filesystem.

Installing

Use Pacman to install the Unsup-Globus-CondorNFSLite-Setup package. This will install Condor, unless you have set some environment variables to specify a pre-existing Condor installation. More information

Using jobmanager-condornfslite

To use this job manager, supply the jobmanager as jobmanager-condornfslite. All jobs should be run through the supplied job wrapper, which will set the working directory as appropriate. This job wrapper is copied to the $VDT_LOCATION/post-install directory after installing the job manager. If you would like to change this to appear as jobmanager-condor, the following steps are necessary:

• Rename $VDT_LOCATION/globus/lib/perl/Globus/GRAM/JobManager/condornfslite.pm to condor.pm
• Change the package name to reflect that it is named condor (change `Globus::GRAM::JobManager::condornfslite' to `Globus::GRAM::JobManager::condor')
• Rename and edit $VDT_LOCATION/globus/etc/grid-services/jobmanager-condornfslite correspondingly (change condornfslite to condor).
• Rename share/globus_gram_job_manager/condornfslite.rvf if necessary (you may already have a condor.rvf)
