[HTCondor-users] Define requirement to run in a group of machines

[Fernando Nellmeldin <f.nellmeldin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, we have a linux cluster with names node01.domain.com, node02.domain.com, etc. HTCondor is correctly configured and I can successfully run jobs in them.

But, as we also have other computers which can run jobs, I would like to write in the submit file a requirement that says: "only run in computers of the cluster".Â

How can we do this? Something like: requirements = (Machine == "node*.domain.com").

I found a very old topic (link at the end) which suggests doing the following in the condor_config of the manager:

clusternodes = Machine == "node01.domain.com" || Machine == "node02.domain.com" || ....

submit_exprs = clusternodes

And then, in the submit file:

requirements = clusternodesÂ

(this would transform into the machine=nodeXX)

However, this doesn't work (I get no match for running the job).Â

Thank you!
