Firewall Configuration

Our condor setup requires port 9600:9700 to be open for condor communication

For example:

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT&nbsp; -p tcp -m state --state NEW --destination-port 9600:9700 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT&nbsp; -p udp -m state --state NEW --destination-port 9600:9700 -j ACCEPT

Start up Files

Edit /etc/init.d/condor
change /usr/local/condor to /opt/condor

Have condor start on any reboots

/sbin/chkconfig condor on

Edit /etc/profile.d/condor.sh and add:

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/condor/bin/
export CONDOR_CONFIG=/opt/condor/etc/condor_config

Edit /etc/profile.d/condor.csh and add:

($path /opt/condor/bin)
setenv CONDOR_CONFIG /opt/condor/etc/condor_config

Start Condor

sudo /etc/init.d/condor start

Check if things are working:

condor_status - command will give you a list of all the machines currently in the condor pool. Your machine will be added after about 20 minutes of starting condor.
