[Swift-user] using swift on a cluster

[Michael Wilde]

Hi Erin,

I'm assuming you meant "use Swift to run jobs on the compute nodes of 
the cluster"?

If so, you first need to find out what scheduler (also called "batch 
system" or "local resource manager") the cluster is running.

Thats typical one of these: PBS, Condor, or SGE.

Either ask your system administrator, or see if the "man" command or 
similar probes give you a clue:

Condor: condor_q -version

condor_q -version
$CondorVersion: 7.2.4 Jun 16 2009 BuildID: 159529 $
$CondorPlatform: I386-LINUX_RHEL5 $

PBS: man qstat:

   qstat(1B)  PBS

SGE: man qstat:

   QSTAT(1)   Sun Grid Engine User Commands


If its PBS or Condor, then the Swift user guide gives the sites.xml 
entries to use.

Tell us what you find, then try following the instructions in the user 
guide, and follow up with questions as needed.
