Re: [Condor-users] Using condor with sub-domains

[Andrew Cunningham <condor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm, I am not sure what the problem is. As long as you can nslookup and get valid names you can PING then I can't see what the problem would be.  I only ever had problems when nslookup failed due to a badly configured reverse DNS. 

When I do condor_status -master I actually get a mixture of FQDN (from the linux machines) and just machine names missing the domain ( windows machines). But everything works just fine.

PS did you say what Condor version you were using?

Our DNS works; I can (for example) ping maws414-01.ma.ic.ac.uk and it will ping; if I do an nslookup on the IP then I get back that name.

 

We’ve only got one Windows domain (.ic.ac.uk) so that machine’s full Windows name is maws414-01.ic.ac.uk; that name does not resolve in DNS.

 

Does Condor query Windows to find out the FQDN rather than query DNS? Does that mean that our setup is not supported? I wouldn’t have thought it was that uncommon; lots of universities seem to have DNS sub-domains but single Windows domains but perhaps they don’t run Condor on Windows!
