[HTCondor-users] Trying to set up High-Availability Cluster - Issues with IDTOKENS

[Daniel BrÃckner <daniel.brueckner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Hello,

I'm trying to set up a high availability central manager pool following this steps described here:

https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/lts/admin-manual/high-availability.html

I installed two identical nodes, but they are not able to communicate.

Even my computing nodes are not able to connect to any of the CMs using this configuration:

I'm using this configuration macro:

CENTRAL_MANAGER1 = cm1.domain.name
CENTRAL_MANAGER2 = cm2.domain.name
CONDOR_HOST = $(CENTRAL_MANAGER1),$(CENTRAL_MANAGER2)


When I changed CONDOR_HOST to a single host entry, everything works fine:

"CONDOR_HOST = $(CENTRAL_MANAGER1)" or "CONDOR_HOST = $(CENTRAL_MANAGER2)"

While setting up a token for my 2nd CM, I got this error:

#####
condor_token_create -identity condor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Failed to generate a token.
PASSWD:1:Issuer namespace may not contain spaces or commas
#####

After changing to "CONDOR_HOST = $(CENTRAL_MANAGER2)" I was able to create this token.

I guess there's an issue using the macro "CONDOR_HOST" with two or more hosts when using Tokens. Can anybody confirm this? How can I change my configuration to get things working?

Thanks for your help,

Daniel
