Notes about Installation and Configuration of a CREAM Computing Element using an external Torque server as batch system and ARGUS as authorization method

 
  • These notes are provided by site admins on a best effort base as a contribution to the IGI communities and MUST not be considered as a subsitute of the Official IGI documentation.
  • This document is addressed to site administrators responsible for middleware installation and configuration.
  • The goal of this page is to provide some hints and examples on how to install and configure an IGI CREAM CE service based on EMI middleware, in no cluster mode, with TORQUE as batch system on a different host and using an external ARGUS server for the users authorization

SUGGESTION: you can use the same site-info.def used for the main CREAM computing element and for WNs, with just a few changements.

On the main CE

First of all you have to export the proper directories from the main CE:

  • edit the file /etc/exports adding the following lines:
/opt/exp_soft/ *.cnaf.infn.it(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
/etc/grid-security/gridmapdir cremoso.cnaf.infn.it(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
/var/torque/ cremoso.cnaf.infn.it(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
/opt/edg/var/info/ cremoso.cnaf.infn.it(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
  • make active the modification by launching:
# exportfs -ra

On the second CE

  • Edit the file /etc/fstab by adding lines like the following:
 
cremino.cnaf.infn.it:/opt/exp_soft/ /opt/exp_soft/ nfs rw,defaults 0 0
cremino.cnaf.infn.it:/etc/grid-security/gridmapdir /etc/grid-security/gridmapdir nfs rw,defaults 0 0

Service Checks

<--/twistyPlugin twikiMakeVisibleInline-->

  • After service installation to check if all were installed in a proper way, you could have a look to Service CREAM Reference Card
  • You can also perform some checks after the installation and configuration of your CREAM

TORQUE checks:

  • check if the interaction with the batch server is properly working, launching some pbs commands, for example:
# qstat -q

# pbsnodes -a

ssh checks

  • ssh should work passwordless from WNs to CE when using a pool account
