How do I install HTCondor on top of a Bright Cluster?
HTCondor can be installed on top of a Bright Cluster as follows:
On the head node
1. Install Condor RPM package and its dependencies:
# yum install setools-console-3.3.7-4.el6.x86_64 policycoreutils-python-2.0.83-19.39.el6.x86_64 perl-Date-Manip.noarch
# rpm -ivh condor-8.2.1-256063.rhel6.5.x86_64.rpm
2. configure the head node to be the manager and submit host:
# condor_configure --type=manager,submit --verbose
3. Copy Condor environment variables scripts
# cp /usr/condor.* /etc/profile.d/
4. Modify the configuration script to expand the Condor pool beyond a single host:
(set ALLOW_WRITE to match all of the hosts)
# cat /etc/condor/condor_config | grep ALLOW_WRITE
ALLOW_WRITE = *
5. Start the Condor service:
# service condor start
In the software image
This is assuming default-image is the image currently used by the compute nodes.
1. Install Condor RPM package and its dependencies:
# yum --installroot=/cm/images/default-image/ install setools-console-3.3.7-4.el6.x86_64 policycoreutils-python-2.0.83-19.39.el6.x86_64 perl-Date-Manip.noarch libvirt-client-0.10.2-29.el6_5.2.x86_64
# rpm --root=/cm/images/default-image/ -ivh condor-8.2.1-256063.rhel6.5.x86_64.rpm
2. configure the nodes to be execute hosts:
# cat /cm/images/default-image/etc/condor/condor_config.local[...]CONDOR_HOST = master.cm26.cluster[...]DAEMON_LIST = MASTER, STARTD
3. Modify the configuration script to expand the Condor pool beyond a single host:
# cat /cm/images/default-image/etc/condor/condor_config[...]ALLOW_WRITE = *
4. reboot the compute nodes to be provisioned using the modified software image
Check status from the head node after the nodes are up

Submitting a job
Like for most other workload managers, submitting jobs as root is not allowed by Condor. So switching to any other user allows jobs to be submitted.
