[Swift-devel] Cant get auto-coasters to run from midway to beagle

[Michael Wilde]

Mihael, can you advise on this problem?

David and I are trying to run automatic coaster jobs from midway login hosts and swift.rcc to beagle using ssh-cl:pbs.

My failed attempts are on midway under /home/wilde/osgdemo/modis/svn, see eg run020 (which has complete logs).

Quick question about the proxy files that get copied. Does this look OK? :

  2013-03-09 21:24:46,895+0000 INFO  AutoCA Checking certificate /home/wilde/.globus/coasters/proxy.0.pem
2013-03-09 21:24:46,967+0000 INFO  AutoCA Using certificate /home/wilde/.globus/coasters/proxy.0.pem with expiration date Sat Mar 23\
 19:25:53 GMT 2013

The proxy expiration time listed above is two hours *earlier* than the current time (as seen in the message's UTC timestamp).  Is that correct, or a possible cause of this problem?

The main symptom seems to be this:

Execution failed:
	Exception in getlanduse:
    Arguments: [../data/modis/2002/h00v09.rgb]
    Host: beagle
    Directory: modis01-20130309-2124-7ua3bde3/jobs/d/getlanduse-d24rhd6l

Caused by:
	Could not submit job
Caused by:
	Could not start coaster service
Caused by:
	Task ended before registration was received. 
Failed to download bootstrap jar from http://midway001.rcc.uchicago.edu:50001

Yet Ive verified that midway login4 (which is the target system) can connect to this hostname and port (with nc -l and telnet)
