[Condor-users] Condor-G for multiple Grid Types

[Gabriel Mateescu <gabriel.mateescu@xxxxxx>]

Hi, 

I am using Condor-G as a metascheduler.
I would like to allow my Grid jobs to be 
matched against Grid resources of multiple 
types, for example, I would like to allow a 
job to be dispatched either to a GT2 or a 
GT4 resource. 

But if I set in the job classAd:

   universe = grid
   grid_type = $$(grid_type)


then condor_submit rejects the job with

  ERROR: Invalid value '$$(grid_type)' for grid_type
  Must be one of: globus, gt2, gt3, gt4, condor, nordugrid, 
  unicore, or oracle

Is this a limitation of the current version of Condor 
(I am running Condor 6.7.17) ? Or is there a reason 
for not allowing grid_type to be part of matchmaking?


Thank you.
Gabriel
