[Condor-users] VMWare server 2.0 supported?

["Schairer, Wolfgang (NSN - DE/Munich)" <wolfgang.schairer@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

I want to use the vm universe of condor on a cluster of windows machines (XP32, XP 64 and Vista64). To do a first test, I installed condor 7.2.0 with vm universe enabled on one machine (the others are running 7.0). This machine should be the submit and execute machine for this test. I also installed ActivePerl and VMWare server 2.0 (the current release). When I now submit a vm ware job, it will not run. When I run condor_q xxx -analyze, it says

 

WARNING:  Be advised:
   No resources matched request's constraints
   Check the Requirements _expression_ below:

 

Requirements = ((Arch == "INTEL") && (HasVM) && (VM_Type == "vmware") && (VM_AvailNum > 0) && (TotalDisk >= DiskUsage) &
& (HasFileTransfer)) && (TotalMemory >= 256) && (VM_Memory >= 256)

 

the job description file for this job is:

universe=vm
executable=test
prio=15

log=log.txt

vm_type = vmware
vm_memory=256
vm_networking = false

vmware_dir=D:\Virtual Machines\WinXP
vmware_should_transfer_files=true

queue

 

The memory limits configured in condor_config is

VM_MEMORY = 1024

 

in condor_vmgahp_config.vmware

VM_MAX_MEMORY = 1024

 

So I do not see a reason why the submit machine does not fulfill the requirements to run the vm_universe job. Therefor my assumtion was that VMWare server 2.0 is not supported. Is this correct?

btw: condor_status -vm does not show any machine, althoug I enabled vm universe during the installation of condor.

 

Many thanks in advance!
