walltime workaround

If on the queues there is published:
GlueCEStateWaitingJobs: 444444
and in the log /var/log/bdii/bdii-update.log you notice errors like the folllowing:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/libexec/lcg-info-dynamic-scheduler", line 435, in ?
    wrt = qwt * nwait
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'NoneType' and 'int'
probably the queues have no "resources_default.walltime" parameter configured.

So define it for each queue by launching, for example:

# qmgr -c "set queue prod resources_default.walltime = 01:00:00"
# qmgr -c "set queue cert resources_default.walltime = 01:00:00"
# qmgr -c "set queue cloudtf resources_default.walltime = 01:00:00"

Software Area settings

If the Software Area is hosted on your CE, you have to create it and export to the WNs in the site.def we set:

VO_SW_DIR=/opt/exp_soft
  • directory creation
mkdir /opt/exp_soft/
  • edit /etc/exports creating a line like the following:
/opt/exp_soft/ *.cnaf.infn.it(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
  • check nfs and portmap status
# service nfs status
rpc.mountd is stopped
nfsd is stopped

# service portmap status
portmap is stopped

# service portmap start
Starting portmap:                                          [  OK  ]

# service nfs start
Starting NFS services:                                     [  OK  ]

SUGGESTION: use the same site-info.def for CREAM and WNs: for this reason in this example file there are yaim variable used by CREAM, TORQUE or emi-WN.

It is also included the settings of some VOs

For your convenience there is an explanation of each yaim variable. For more details look at [8, 9, 10] </>

IMPORTANT: The updated EPEL5 build of torque-2.5.7-1 as compared to previous versions enables munge as an inter node authentication method.

  • verify that munge is correctly installed:
# rpm -qa | grep munge
munge-libs-0.5.8-8.el5
munge-0.5.8-8.el5
  • On one host (for example the batch server) generate a key by launching:
# /usr/sbin/create-munge-key

# ls -ltr /etc/munge/
total 4
-r-------- 1 munge munge 1024 Jan 13 14:32 munge.key
  • Copy the key, /etc/munge/munge.key to every host of your cluster, adjusting the permissions:
# chown munge:munge /etc/munge/munge.key
  • Start the munge daemon on each node:
# service munge start
Starting MUNGE:                                            [  OK  ]

# chkconfig munge on

Service configuration

You have to copy the configuration files in another path, for example root, and set them properly (see later):
# cp -r /opt/glite/yaim/examples/siteinfo/* .

Create the vo.d directory for the VO configuration file (you can decide if keep the VO information in the site.def or putting them in the vo.d directory)

# mkdir vo.d

O.S. and Repos

  • Starts from a fresh installation of Scientific Linux 5.x (x86_64).
# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Scientific Linux SL release 5.7 (Boron) 

* Install the additional repositories: EPEL, Certification Authority, UMD

# yum install yum-priorities yum-protectbase
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
# rpm -ivh http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/epel//5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
# wget http://repo-pd.italiangrid.it/mrepo/repos/egi-trustanchors.repo
# rpm -ivh http://repo-pd.italiangrid.it/mrepo/EMI/1/sl5/x86_64/updates/emi-release-1.0.1-1.sl5.noarch.rpm
# wget http://repo-pd.italiangrid.it/mrepo/repos/igi/sl5/x86_64/igi-emi.repo

  • Be sure that SELINUX is disabled (or permissive). Details on how to disable SELINUX are here:

# getenforce 
Disabled

  • Check the repos list (sl-*.repo are the repos of the O.S. and they should be present by default).

# ls /etc/yum.repos.d/
egi-trustanchors.repo  
emi1-third-party.repo emi1-base.repo emi1-updates.repo
igi-emi.repo
epel.repo epel-testing.repo
