Re: [HTCondor-users] Can I install Condor Central Manager on a virtual windows computer?

Andrew,

Condor does not need to know about it
is running on a VM on any machine.
VM section on the config file is only
needed if you want to run Condor VM Universe jobs. Take a look into the
documentation.

cheers,

Klaus

Great.
Thank you. Does Condor need to know that it is running on a Virtual Machine,
or is that only necessary for compute nodes? In other words, do I need
to set some of those variables in the VM section of the config file?

Hi Andrew,

Yes you could install Condor on a Virtual Machine running Windows. We do
so in our corporate pool. CM is a VM running Linux, CREDD is also a VM
with Windows. And we have some Executers also as VM and running Windows.
All other desktops are Windows machines (XP or Win7).
For scheduling purpose on Windows Machines you need to play with the MAX_JOBS_RUNNING
(default is 200) to increase the number of condor_shadow.exe processes
Condor is allowed to start on the scheduler machine. As you have a good
amount of memory available, you need to reserve some memory for the condor_collector.exe
and condor_negotiator.exe and remainder memory to use for condor_shadow.exe
processes (about 5Mb per process in newer versions of Condor, let say 8.0.x).
About performance, you need to monitor your VM server to see its limits.

Hope this helps. 

Klaus

I have a trial pool for Win7 x64 computers, and my IT has given me a virtual
Win7 x64 computer to play with. Is there any reason why I cannot install
HTCondor and run it as the Central Manager for negotiations and scheduling?
It reports that it is a 2.53GHz dual core Xeon with 128GB RAM (!?). It
has an IP address and everything else that I would expect. I have been
told that it may not be fast, but then my pool is quite small at present.

Any thoughts? Any special settings?

Andrew
