[Condor-users] New Cluster - match but reject the job for unknown reasons

[Dirk Colbry <colbrydi@xxxxxxx>]

Hey Everyone,

I am setting up a new condor cluster. The CONDOR_HOST is running in
RHEL6.0 with condor 7.4.4 using a basic yum install.  All of my worker
nodes are in WindowsXP also with condor 7.4.4.  When I submit a job to
the windows machines the are always stuck in Idle and I seem to be
reproducing the problem described at the following link:

https://condor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=1645

I have seen similar problems posted to this email list in the past but
I was unable to determine the proper direction for a solution. My
output of condor_q with the -better-analyze flag is as follows:

==================================
> condor_q -better-analyze 36.0

The Requirements expression for your job is:

( ( target.OpSys == "WINNT51" ) && ( target.Arch == "INTEL" ) ) &&
( target.Disk >= DiskUsage ) && ( ( target.Memory * 1024 ) >= ImageSize ) &&
( ( RequestMemory * 1024 ) >= ImageSize ) && ( target.HasFileTransfer )

    Condition                         Machines Matched    Suggestion
    ---------                         ----------------    ----------

undefined,JobVMMemory,0.0)) ) >= 0 )
                                      0                   REMOVE

4   ( target.Disk >= 75 )             6
5   ( ( 1024 * target.Memory ) >= 0 ) 6
6   ( target.HasFileTransfer )        6
==================================

According to the above link the REMOVE suggestion from the
better-analyze flag is a red herring and the problem is more likely in
the firewalls. I put my CONDOR_HOST and one of my windowsXP boxes on a
private network, turned off all of the firewalls and still get the
same error so it looks like I am not dealing with a firewall problem.

Has anyone else seen this problem?  Do you have any suggestions for
things I could try?  Is there any more information I could be looking
for to make this problem easier to diagnose?

Thanks,

- Dirk
