Re: [HTCondor-users] how to do a stripped down Schedd as CondorCE submit node?

[Brian Lin <blin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Hi Thomas,
    
    This is another place where the new CE submission document would
    help out; I'm hoping to complete this by HTCondor week in September.
    `condor_ce_submit` is really the most useful when submitting jobs
    directly from the CE host since it uses the default CE configuration
    and so it communicates directly with the CE schedd.
    
    If you have a regular submit host, you'll want to use
    `condor_submit` to submit the grid universe job into your local
    schedd, which will then turn around and submit that job to the
    remote CE schedd.

Hi all,

I am trying to setup a simple submit node, that should just be able to
submit jobs to a CondorCE (probably later on contaienrized rather than a
dedicated node).

Thing is, that my condor_ce_trace are successfully towards the CE (as
well as condor_ping on 9619) - however, I have not managed so far to
setup the local condor in a way, that I can submit a 'proper' job [2].

I have tried to setup a minimal local daemon setup with
  DAEMON_LIST = MASTER, COLLECTOR, NEGOTIATOR, SCHEDD
on the intended submitter. The local collector is listening on 9618 as
well as the shared port on 9620. The SchedLog does not looks suspicious
and a condor_q against the local schedd returns no error.

However, when I try to submit [2] with my CE's address as target pool,
condor_ce_submit raises [3] where the IP address is the submitter's own,
i.e., it is trying to connect to 9619 locally.
I would have expected, that the Schedd would submit the grid universe
job to CondorCE:9619 - I would have assuemd, that a simple submitter
should be fine with just the htcondor-ce-client [1], or?

Cheers,
  Thomas
