UID&FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN mis-configuration causing unintended side-effects
Last modified: 2010-10-14 12:10:13 EDT
Description of problem: remote-configuration sets the UID & FILESYSTEM DOMAINs to $(FULL_HOSTNAME), but this causes several unintended consequences: 1) file transfer will be used when it is not needed because testmonkey's home directly is NFS mounted on all nodes 2) a submitter is created by concatenating a job Owner and the schedd's UID_DOMAIN, so when the schedd fails over the submitter appears to change, when in reality it hasn't 3) jobs are being run as the nobody user, and we need to be able to run jobs as the actual owner, especially for accessing NFS resources 4) Possibly others Need to find configuration settings that will resolve these issues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
The base DB now includes SharedFilesystem and CommonUIDDomain features, which include FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN and UID_DOMAIN respectively. If these features are added to a group/node, the tools will prompt for a value. Fixed in: condor-wallaby-base-db-1.0-0.3
Checked with condor-wallaby-base-db-1.4-3 on RHEL 5.5 x i386/x86_64 and there are variables with values as is described above. -->VERIFIED
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Previously, remote-configuration set the UID & FILESYSTEM DOMAINs to $(FULL_HOSTNAME). This resulted in unintended behavior such as an unnecessary use of file transfers, jobs being run as the nobody user, etc. With this update, the base DB now includes SharedFilesystem and CommonUIDDomain features, which include FILESYSTEM_DOMAIN and UID_DOMAIN respectively, thus, the unintended side effects no longer occur.
