Re: [HTCondor-users] Condor_config_val stopped working after updating to 8.4.7

[John M Knoeller <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

So this is indeed a bug in 8.4.7, the bug does depend in part on other knobs in the config, but it is pretty likely that knobs that have a STARTD. prefix will not be looked up correctly.  The bug will be fixed in 8.4.9 and 8.5.7

That looks like a bug in 8.4.7.    When I run condor_config_val -startd -dump SETTABLE_ on 8.5.6 I see the same thing as you report for 8.4.4

SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR = StartJobs STARTD.SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR = StartJobs

For the STARTD, the effective value of the knob SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR is StartJobs, because it actually ends up reading the value of STARTD.SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR instead.  

I'm setting up an 8.4.7 build now to verify that it gives a different answer...

Hi,

I've noticed the exact same problem. By running "condor_config_val -startd -dump SETTABLE_" on 8.4.4 I see:

SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR = StartJobs STARTD.SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR = StartJobs

even though in the config I only have:

STARTD.SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR=StartJobs

In more recent versions of HTCondor, with the same config, by running "condor_config_val -startd -dump SETTABLE_" I see there's a difference:

SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR =
STARTD.SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR = StartJobs

A quick work-around seems to be to just add the following line:

SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR=StartJobs

to the config and do a condor_reconfig, then everything works as expected.

Regards,
Andrew.

Hi John

I have attached output of above command. The behavior changed somewhere between  version 8.4.4 and 8.4.7 .

Thanks

What does

    condor_config_val  -verbose -name <node-name> -startd -dump _CONFIG   SETTABLE_

return for that node?

>From looking at the log snipped, it appears that you are being authorized as ALLOW and not ADMINISTRATOR, So the content of SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR isn't relevant. It would need to just be SETTABLE_ATTRS.

I don't know a lot about how the security code to know what would have changed between 7.4.4 and 8.4 From my reading of the code this config should never have worked.

Hi
I use condor_config_val to manage compute nodes remotely. I upgraded some of compute nodes to 8.4.7 and 8.4.8 and condor_config_val -set stopped working

condor_config_val -name <node-name> -startd -set "StartJobs = True"  Attempt to set configuration "StartJobs = True" on startd slot1@<node_name><mailto:slot1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> A.B.C.D:62166?addrs=A.B.C.D-62166> failed.
I have following config settings which is working for 8.4.4 ENABLE_RUNTIME_CONFIG = TRUE STARTD.SETTABLE_ATTRS_ADMINISTRATOR = StartJobs ENABLE_PERSISTENT_CONFIG = TRUE PERSISTENT_CONFIG_DIR = /etc/condor/persistent Has any one else seen this issue?
Thanks
Kashif
