Re: [Condor-users] Access to network shares using dirve letters?

["Michael O'Donnell" <odonnellm@xxxxxxxx>]

The manual provides several solutions for
using file shares and you might want to read up on this. When you use RunAsOwner,
the user's profile is not imported and therefore mapped drives will not
show up (mapped drives are specific to a user, which is stored in the registry
for that user). We use UNC paths and this works for us. Google UNC if you
do not know what this is. As long as the user has permissions to the path
and a UNC path is specified this should work for you. You can test this
via windows explorer or you can use pushd/popd via DOS.

Hi,

I have a small windows XP test pool (1 central manager/submit/execute & 2 execute nodes) and I’ve run through the process outlined in 6.2.5 of the manual to set up condor_credd. The pool password was successfully set up on all machines as was my user password. The output of the final step of this section indicates that all is well:

condor_status -f "%s\t" Name -f "%s\n" ifThenElse(isUndefined(LocalCredd),\"UNDEF\",LocalCredd)

BIONUM3.HPA.org.uk      COLHPADESCEL.HPA.org.uk

CDSC0750.HPA.org.uk     COLHPADESCEL.HPA.org.uk

slot1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   COLHPADESCEL.HPA.org.uk

slot2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   COLHPADESCEL.HPA.org.uk

When specifying transfer_input_files in the submit file, jobs run smoothly if the full path of the network location of the file is specified (\\xxx\yyy\zzz\application.exe) but when I try to use drive letters (T:\zzz\application.exe) the following error pops up:

ERROR: Unable to get name of user associated with the following network path (err=2250): T:\tst\clustalw.exe

The drive mapping exists under my login and is accessible by this letter from the command line. Trying to transfer files from shares I don’t have permission on fails with expected errors, regardless of how I specify the location, so I know that my login is being used somehow.

This is true both with and without run_as_owner=True specified in the submit file, which makes me think that I’ve missed a step.

Can anyone tell me what I’ve missed or which bit of the manual I need to go back to?

Thanks
