Re: [HTCondor-users] condor_config location for windows

Hi Pascal,

 

Iâve been using this approach for years â the trick here is to leave the condor_config file exactly as is, and then in the condor_config.local you set the LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR & LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE parameters to point to the shared config directory, something along these lines:

 

SHARED_CONFIG_DIR = /user/condor

LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE = $(SHARED_CONFIG_DIR)/config/host.d/$(HOSTNAME)

LOCAL_CONFIG_DIR = $(SHARED_CONFIG_DIR)/config/config.d

Subject: [External] [HTCondor-users] condor_config location for windows

 

I am reading the doc to set up an installation mixing Windows and Linux nodes. Section 3.14.3 presents a nice way of minimizing duplication of the configuration by hosting it on a shared folder and using $(OPSYS) value in filenames.

 

However in 3.2.3.5, it says:

 

CONDOR_CONFIG should point to the condor_config file. In this version of HTCondor, it must reside on the local disk.

 

This piece of information seems contradictory with the setup above.

 

So, should condor_config be shared in a network drive for Windows node after all?

 

Thanks
