[Swift-devel] Fwd: [gateways] Fwd: GRAM V5 Alpha 3 now available

[Stuart Martin]

Mike, Tibi,

Do you have more job runs that you can send to this gram5 alpha3  
deployment on queen bee?

http://dev.globus.org/wiki/GRAM/GRAM5#Deployments_2

	• LSU Queen Bee cluster
		• https://queenbee.loni-lsu.teragrid.org:2120/jobmanager-fork
		• https://queenbee.loni-lsu.teragrid.org:2120/jobmanager-pbs

Tibi, I think the problem in the past was that the head node was  
rebooted and for a while the SEG was not running there.  That causes  
job state changes to not get propagated, so job hang in the pending  
state.
