[Condor-users] Condor-G fun

["Kewley, J \(John\)" <j.kewley@xxxxxxxx>]

I have run a few jobs using condor-g now, but even though the jobs
sometimes
run OK, I frequently get the following error. When the error occurs, the
jobs never
seem to recover (although I give up after about 40 mins):

---------------
020 (023.000.000) 11/09 11:08:03 Detected Down Globus Resource
    RM-Contact: <grid-resource>/jobmanager-fork
...
026 (023.000.000) 11/09 11:08:03 Detected Down Grid Resource
    GridResource: gt2 <grid-resource>/jobmanager-fork
---------------

The 2 most obvious reasons for this are:
a) Machine is down
b) Machine never existed (i.e. name spelled wrong)

Since I can cut and paste the machine name and successfully run Grid
jobs
to that machine, any ideas what else it can be?

I have ruled out the following (or believe I have):
1. Firewall issue (this has now been opened) since this would prevent
the
   globus-job-runs running, and in any case, I'd get an error about
inability to
   transfer files.
2. Don't have valid proxy - since globus commands work
3. condor daemons can't see firewall settings - since re-run with them
in the
   environment, and some jobs do run.

Are there any DEBUG settings I can do to get further info?

condor-q -anal 
doesn't help for non-matchmaking condor-g

Below is the submit file (hopefully there is a bug in there somewhere)

Cheers
