Hi,

I understand that the failover is a feature added in 
condor-6.7.x versions. But I don't understand how to enable 
this and configure the pool to work with this setup. Can 
anyone help? As far as I know, there is nothing in the 
documentation. I would like to be corrected in this regard.
    

See:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.7.5/8_2Development_Release.html#
SECTION00924000000000000000

The second bullet under "New Features" describes how to define multiple
collectors for failover.

Hi Ian,

Thanks. What does the "High Availability" service under new features section in the same link mean (8.2.6 Version 6.7.0)? It says:

Added a new ``High Availability'' service to the condor_ master. You can now specify a daemon which can have ``fail over'' capabilities (i.e. the master on another machine can start a matching daemon if the first one fails). Currently, this is only available over a shared file system (i.e. NFS), and has only been tested for the condor_ schedd.

I was looking to implement that. Is that the same as multiple collectors?

Thanks,
Prakash
