Testing VDT 1.8.1

Thanks for agreeing to test VDT 1.8.1! Your efforts are most appreciated.

Step 1: Ease in with a non-root installation

The first test you should do is the most basic: install the VDT according to the directions as non-root. Ask yourself these questions:

• Watch the installation: do you see anything odd happen, or any errors?
• Do you see any problems with the installation directions?
• Look through vdt-install.log after the installation. Do you see any errors?
• Source the setup file. Did it work?
• Run condor_master then condor_q: do you see an empty queue? Go ahead and kill Condor.
• Can you do a grid-proxy-init? A globusrun?

Step 2: Do a root installation

Now do a root installation. Setup the servers during installation. Ask all of the questions from the above list.

Step 3: Certification Testing

Run the certification tests. What worked? What failed?

Step 4: Extra things

For extra credit, consider any of the following tasks:

• Install on another supported platform. Do all of the above.
• Develop new tests for the certification testing.
• Run a heavy load of jobs with this VDT.

Step 5: Tell us

Tell the VDT team what you found
