Re: [Condor-users] Modifying Condor's MSI distribution

[Kevin.Buckley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

On the 7.6.3 interactive install dialog:

New or Existing Condor Pool

if joining an existing pool, you are only asked for the:

Hostname of Central Manager

and the automated install script notes in Section 3.2.5.4
of the 7.6.3 manual suggest that you can supply:

POOLHOSTNAME
    defines the host name of the pool's central manager.

and:

POOLNAME
    sets the name of the pool, if a new pool is to be created.
     Possible values are either the name or the empty string "".


Setting both for an existing pool would seem to be more complete,
as an existing pool is likely to have a "poolname", no ?

Furthermore is the "POOLNAME" value, supplied to the config file
attribute

COLLECTOR_NAME


Obviously, armed with Ziliang Guo's excellent insight, I am now
aware that things can be set ahead of an install by modifying
the .generic file but, as noted above, I feel the interactive
installtion could/should allow for setting the POOLNAME/COLLECTOR_NAME
for an existing pool.
