Re: [HTCondor-users] condor_userprio: Can't locate negotiator in local pool

[Todd Tannenbaum <tannenba@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Lee,

Re the below, are both the central manager (condor_negotiator, 
condor_collector) and condor_userprio at version 8.6.x, or is one still 
much older than the other?  What does "condor_status -negotiator" show?

The reason I ask is things have changed over the years with regards to 
condor_userprio: Long ago, condor_userprio found the negotiator via 
NEGOTIATOR_HOST in the config, but IIRC for several years the 
condor_negotiator now advertises itself to the condor_collector and 
condor_userprio does a query to the collector to find it.  Also, in 
current versions of HTCondor the user priorities are advertised to the 
collector, meaning condor_userprio only needs to contact the negotiator 
in order to make a change - just displaying the current priorities only 
requires communication with the collector.  Perhaps your 
condor_negotiator is still running an old version?

regards,
Todd
