This page explains how to setup a minimal ARC CE and HTCondor pool.  In order to be as simple as possible the CE, HTCondor central manager and worker node are setup on a single machine. This is of course not suitable for a production system, but allows people new to ARC and/or HTCondor to quickly have a fully functioning system for testing.

 +
The ARC CE and HTCondor pool is now ready.
 +
 +
== Testing ==
 +
 +
Firstly, check the HTCondor is working correctly:
 +
[root@lcgvm21 ~]# condor_status -any
 +
MyType            TargetType        Name                                   
 +
Collector          None              Personal Condor at lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.u
 +
Scheduler          None              lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk                 
 +
DaemonMaster      None              lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk                 
 +
Negotiator        None              lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk                 
 +
Machine            Job                slot1@lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk
 +
 +
Usually the 'Collector' and 'Negotiator' would be running on a machine designated as the central manager and the 'Scheduler' would be running on the CE. Here 'Machine' corresponds to a resource able to run jobs, i.e. a worker node. Every machine running HTCondor in addition has a 'Master' daemon running which takes care of all other HTCondor daemons running on it.
 +
 +
From a standard UI (NorduGrid client rpms are part of the standard EMI UI), check the status of the newly-installed ARC CE:
 +
-bash-4.1$ arcinfo -c lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk
 +
Computing service: MINIMAL Computing Element (production)
 +
  Information endpoint: ldap://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2135/Mds-Vo-Name=local,o=grid
 +
  Information endpoint: ldap://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2135/o=glue
 +
  Submission endpoint: gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs (status: ok, interface: org.nordugrid.gridftpjob)
 +
Note that it may take a few minutes for the information system to be available after services are started.
 +
 +
Try submitting a test job using ''arctest'', which creates and submits predefined test jobs:
 +
-bash-4.1$ arctest -c lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk -J 1
 +
Test submitted with jobid: gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/Um0NDmEkj2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmOpOKDmABFKDmTCef4m
 +
 +
Check the status of the job. If you do this before the information system has been updated, you will see a response like this
 +
-bash-4.1$ arcstat gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/Um0NDmEkj2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmOpOKDmABFKDmTCef4m
 +
WARNING: Job information not found in the information system: gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/Um0NDmEkj2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmOpOKDmABFKDmTCef4m
 +
WARNING: This job was very recently submitted and might not yet have reached the information system
 +
No jobs
 +
 +
When the job has finished running you should see this:
 +
-bash-4.1$ arcstat gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/Um0NDmEkj2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmOpOKDmABFKDmTCef4m

 +
  Name: arctest1
 +
  State: Finished (FINISHED)
 +
  Exit Code: 0
 +
 +
The job's output can also be obtained easily:
 +
-bash-4.1$ arcget gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/Um0NDmEkj2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmOpOKDmABFKDmTCef4m

 +
You can of course also create your own jobs. Create a file, e.g. ''test.xrsl'', containing:
 +
&(executable="test.sh")
 +
(stdout="test.out")
 +
(stderr="test.err")
 +
(jobname="ARC-HTCondor test")
 +
and create an executable ''test.sh'', for example:
 +
#!/bin/sh
 +
printenv
 +
 +
Submit the job:

 +
You can check the status of jobs by running ''condor_q'' on the CE. For example, after submitting a number of sleep jobs, you might see something like this:

5 jobs; 0 completed, 0 removed, 4 idle, 1 running, 0 held, 0 suspended
 +
 +
You can see the status of worker nodes by running ''condor_status'' on the CE. For example:
 +
[root@lcgvm21 ~]# condor_status
 +
Name              OpSys      Arch  State    Activity LoadAv Mem  ActvtyTime <br>
 +
slot1@lcgvm21.grid LINUX      X86_64 Unclaimed Idle      0.110  845  0+00:00:04
 +
slot1_1@lcgvm21.gr LINUX      X86_64 Claimed  Busy      0.000 1024  0+00:00:03

        X86_64/LINUX    2    0      1        1      0          0        0 <br>
 +
                Total    2    0      1        1      0          0        0
 +
In this case the worker node is of course the same machine as the CE. Note that here "slot1" is a partitionable slot, which contains all the resources (CPU, memory, etc) of the worker node. This slot will always be idle. "slot1_1" is an example of a dynamic slot, which are created automatically and actually run jobs. When there are no running jobs on the worker node you will see just the single partitionable slot:
 +
[root@lcgvm21 ~]# condor_status
 +
Name              OpSys      Arch  State    Activity LoadAv Mem  ActvtyTime <br>

NOTE: This is kept for historical reasons. There is a more complete example here Example_Build_of_an_ARC/Condor_Cluster

This page explains how to setup a minimal ARC CE and HTCondor pool. In order to be as simple as possible the CE, HTCondor central manager and worker node are setup on a single machine. This is of course not suitable for a production system, but allows people new to ARC and/or HTCondor to quickly have a fully functioning system for testing.

Prerequisites

Prepare an SL6 VM with a valid host certificate. EMI and UMD repositories should not be configured.

ARC CE installation

YUM repository configuration for EPEL and NorduGrid:

rpm -Uvh https://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
rpm -Uvh http://download.nordugrid.org/packages/nordugrid-release/releases/13.11/centos/el6/x86_64/nordugrid-release-13.11-1.el6.noarch.rpm

Install the ARC CE meta-package:

yum install nordugrid-arc-compute-element

This will install the NorduGrid 4.1.0 RPMs as well as any dependencies. For HTCondor it is important to use 4.1.0 (or above).

HTCondor installation

Setup the YUM repository:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/yum/repo.d/htcondor-stable-rhel6.repo

Install the most recent stable version of HTCondor, currently 8.0.6:

yum install condor

HTCondor configuration

Configure HTCondor to use partitionable slots (by default static slots would be used). Create a file /etc/condor/config.d/00-slots containing the following:

NUM_SLOTS = 1
SLOT_TYPE_1               = cpus=100%,mem=100%,auto
NUM_SLOTS_TYPE_1          = 1
SLOT_TYPE_1_PARTITIONABLE = TRUE

Start HTCondor by running:

service condor start

ARC CE configuration

Create the required control and session directories:

mkdir -p /var/spool/arc/jobstatus
mkdir -p /var/spool/arc/grid

Create a simple grid-mapfile for testing, for example /etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile containing, for example:

"/C=UK/O=eScience/OU=CLRC/L=RAL/CN=andrew lahiff" pcms001

Replace the DN and user id here as necessary, and create the user account.

Create a minimal configuration file /etc/arc.conf:

[common]
x509_user_key="/etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem"
x509_user_cert="/etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem"
x509_cert_dir="/etc/grid-security/certificates"
gridmap="/etc/grid-security/grid-mapfile"
lrms="condor" 
[grid-manager] user="root" controldir="/var/spool/arc/jobstatus" sessiondir="/var/spool/arc/grid" runtimedir="/etc/arc/runtime" logfile="/var/log/arc/grid-manager.log" pidfile="/var/run/grid-manager.pid" joblog="/var/log/arc/gm-jobs.log" shared_filesystem="no"
[gridftpd] user="root" logfile="/var/log/arc/gridftpd.log" pidfile="/var/run/gridftpd.pid" port="2811" allowunknown="no"
[gridftpd/jobs] path="/jobs" plugin="jobplugin.so" allownew="yes"
[infosys] user="root" overwrite_config="yes" port="2135" registrationlog="/var/log/arc/inforegistration.log" providerlog="/var/log/arc/infoprovider.log"
[cluster] cluster_alias="MINIMAL Computing Element" comment="This is a minimal out-of-box CE setup" homogeneity="True" architecture="adotf" nodeaccess="outbound" authorizedvo="cms"
[queue/grid] name="grid" homogeneity="True" comment="Default queue" nodecpu="adotf" architecture="adotf" defaultmemory="1000"

Start the GridFTP server, A-REX service and LDAP information system:

service gridftpd start
service a-rex start
service nordugrid-arc-ldap-infosys start

The ARC CE and HTCondor pool is now ready.

Testing

Firstly, check the HTCondor is working correctly:

[root@lcgvm21 ~]# condor_status -any
MyType             TargetType         Name                                     
Collector          None               Personal Condor at lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.u
Scheduler          None               lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk                  
DaemonMaster       None               lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk                  
Negotiator         None               lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk                  
Machine            Job                slot1@lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk

Usually the 'Collector' and 'Negotiator' would be running on a machine designated as the central manager and the 'Scheduler' would be running on the CE. Here 'Machine' corresponds to a resource able to run jobs, i.e. a worker node. Every machine running HTCondor in addition has a 'Master' daemon running which takes care of all other HTCondor daemons running on it.

From a standard UI (NorduGrid client rpms are part of the standard EMI UI), check the status of the newly-installed ARC CE:

-bash-4.1$ arcinfo -c lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk
Computing service: MINIMAL Computing Element (production)
  Information endpoint: ldap://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2135/Mds-Vo-Name=local,o=grid
  Information endpoint: ldap://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2135/o=glue
  Submission endpoint: gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs (status: ok, interface: org.nordugrid.gridftpjob)

Note that it may take a few minutes for the information system to be available after services are started.

Try submitting a test job using arctest, which creates and submits predefined test jobs:

-bash-4.1$ arctest -c lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk -J 1
Test submitted with jobid: gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/Um0NDmEkj2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmOpOKDmABFKDmTCef4m

Check the status of the job. If you do this before the information system has been updated, you will see a response like this

-bash-4.1$ arcstat gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/Um0NDmEkj2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmOpOKDmABFKDmTCef4m
WARNING: Job information not found in the information system: gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/Um0NDmEkj2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmOpOKDmABFKDmTCef4m
WARNING: This job was very recently submitted and might not yet have reached the information system
No jobs

When the job has finished running you should see this:

-bash-4.1$ arcstat gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/Um0NDmEkj2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmOpOKDmABFKDmTCef4m

 Name: arctest1
 State: Finished (FINISHED)
 Exit Code: 0

The job's output can also be obtained easily:

-bash-4.1$ arcget gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/Um0NDmEkj2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmOpOKDmABFKDmTCef4m
Results stored at: Um0NDmEkj2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmOpOKDmABFKDmTCef4m
Jobs processed: 1, successfully retrieved: 1, successfully cleaned: 1

You can of course also create your own jobs. Create a file, e.g. test.xrsl, containing:

&(executable="test.sh")
(stdout="test.out")
(stderr="test.err")
(jobname="ARC-HTCondor test")

and create an executable test.sh, for example:

#!/bin/sh
printenv

Submit the job:

-bash-4.1$ arcsub -c lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk test.xrsl 
Job submitted with jobid: gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/D7rNDmOKk2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmoqQKDmABFKDmvdxuEn

The job should soon finish:

-bash-4.1$ arcstat gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/D7rNDmOKk2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmoqQKDmABFKDmvdxuEn

 State: Finished (FINISHED)
 Exit Code: 0

and the output can then be retrieved:

-bash-4.1$ arcget gsiftp://lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk:2811/jobs/D7rNDmOKk2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmoqQKDmABFKDmvdxuEn

-bash-4.1$ ls D7rNDmOKk2jnvMODjqAWcw5nABFKDmABFKDmoqQKDmABFKDmvdxuEn test.err test.out

You can check the status of jobs by running condor_q on the CE. For example, after submitting a number of sleep jobs, you might see something like this:

[root@lcgvm21 ~]# condor_q 

-- Submitter: lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk : <130.246.181.102:52146> : lcgvm21.gridpp.rl.ac.uk ID OWNER SUBMITTED RUN_TIME ST PRI SIZE CMD 3.0 pcms001 5/8 16:50 0+00:00:59 R 0 0.0 (ARC_HTCondor_te ) 4.0 pcms001 5/8 16:51 0+00:00:00 I 0 0.0 (ARC_HTCondor_te ) 5.0 pcms001 5/8 16:51 0+00:00:00 I 0 0.0 (ARC_HTCondor_te ) 6.0 pcms001 5/8 16:51 0+00:00:00 I 0 0.0 (ARC_HTCondor_te ) 7.0 pcms001 5/8 16:51 0+00:00:00 I 0 0.0 (ARC_HTCondor_te )
5 jobs; 0 completed, 0 removed, 4 idle, 1 running, 0 held, 0 suspended

You can see the status of worker nodes by running condor_status on the CE. For example:

[root@lcgvm21 ~]# condor_status
Name               OpSys      Arch   State     Activity LoadAv Mem   ActvtyTime 
slot1@lcgvm21.grid LINUX X86_64 Unclaimed Idle 0.110 845 0+00:00:04 slot1_1@lcgvm21.gr LINUX X86_64 Claimed Busy 0.000 1024 0+00:00:03 Total Owner Claimed Unclaimed Matched Preempting Backfill
X86_64/LINUX 2 0 1 1 0 0 0
Total 2 0 1 1 0 0 0

In this case the worker node is of course the same machine as the CE. Note that here "slot1" is a partitionable slot, which contains all the resources (CPU, memory, etc) of the worker node. This slot will always be idle. "slot1_1" is an example of a dynamic slot, which are created automatically and actually run jobs. When there are no running jobs on the worker node you will see just the single partitionable slot:

[root@lcgvm21 ~]# condor_status
Name               OpSys      Arch   State     Activity LoadAv Mem   ActvtyTime 
slot1@lcgvm21.grid LINUX X86_64 Unclaimed Idle 0.100 845 0+00:19:30
Total Owner Claimed Unclaimed Matched Preempting Backfill
X86_64/LINUX 1 0 0 1 0 0 0
Total 1 0 0 1 0 0 0
