[Condor-users] failing remote condor_q

[Steven Timm <timm@xxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to do a remote query on a condor pool which is not
listed in my condor_config file at all. Its schedd is running
on machine A and the collector is running on machine B

I try to do

condor_q -name A -pool B

and get the following error:

Error: Couldn't contact the condor_collector on .

Extra Info: the condor_collector is a process that runs on the central
manager of your Condor pool and collects the status of all the machines 
and
jobs in the Condor pool. The condor_collector might not be running, it 
might
be refusing to communicate with you, there might be a network problem, or
there may be some other problem. Check with your system administrator to 
fix
this problem.

If you are the system administrator, check that the condor_collector is
running on , check the HOSTALLOW configuration in your condor_config, and
check the MasterLog and CollectorLog files in your log directory for 
possible
clues as to why the condor_collector is not responding. Also see the
Troubleshooting section of the manual.

---------------------------

It's like the condor_q command is looking
for the condor_collector in the wrong place somehow.
> From inside that same cluster, the command works fine.
As far as I can tell, all the hostallow settings of the config
are correct, and the same as other pools where the same command
works fine.
