[Swift-user] using swift on a cluster

[Hodgess, Erin]

Hello!

We are indeed using condor.

I wanted to try a small test run, but am running into trouble:

[hodgess at grid bin]$ cat myjob.submit
executable=/usr/bin/id
output=results.output
error=results.error
log=results.log
queue
[hodgess at grid bin]$ condor_submit myjob.submit
Submitting job(s).
Logging submit event(s).
1 job(s) submitted to cluster 15.
[hodgess at grid bin]$ ls results*
results.error  results.log  results.output
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/hodgess
[hodgess at grid bin]$ cat results.log
000 (015.000.000) 10/21 03:06:03 Job submitted from host: <192.168.1.11:46274>
...
001 (015.000.000) 10/21 03:06:05 Job executing on host: <10.1.255.244:44508>
...
002 (015.000.000) 10/21 03:06:05 (1) Job not properly linked for Condor.
...
009 (015.000.000) 10/21 03:06:05 Job was aborted by the user.
...
[hodgess at grid bin]$

I'm not sure why the job is not linked.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Erin

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.
