Job Manager Configuration

The Job Manager is generally configured using the setup-globus-gram-job-manager setup script.

This section of the Job Manager manual describes all options which may be passed to the GRAM Job Manager in the configuration file $GLOBUS_LOCATION/etc/globus-job-manager.conf.

Configuration File Options

-k

Indicate that the job manager was built with the kerberos GSSAPI instead of GSI. This disables checks for a delegated GSI credential.

-home GLOBUS_LOCATION

Set the GLOBUS_LOCATION environment variable to the specified Globus-Location.

-target-globus-location GLOBUS_LOCATION

Set the GLOBUS_LOCATION environment variable to the execution node's GLOBUS_LOCATION, if different than the GRAM node's GLOBUS_LOCATION

-type JOB_MANAGER_TYPE

Set the type of scheduler interface to use for this job manager. A similarly named Perl module in the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib/perl/Globus/GRAM/JobManager/ directory is needed.

-history PATH

Set the path to the directory to store job history files.

-cache-location PATH

Set the path for the GASS cache. This path must be unique for each user. RSL substitutions (such as /home/buildd and buildd) may be used in this path. See RSL Substitions for a list of available RSL substitutions.

-extra-envvars VAR1[=VAL],VAR2,...

The Job manager will attempt to get the listed VARs from its environment and set them the same for the job's environment. For example, -extra-envvars LD_LIBRARY_PATH,GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE

-scratch-dir-base PATH

Set the default scratch directory root for the job manager. Job-specific scratch directories will be created as a subdirectory of this directory. RSL substitutions (such as /home/buildd and buildd) may be used in this path. See RSL Substitions for a list of available RSL substitutions. If this option is not present in the configuration file, then the job manager will create scratch directories as subdirectories of the user's home directory.

-condor-arch ARCH

Set the condor architecture for this job manager to be the specified ARCH. This is optional when the job manager type is condor.

-condor-os OSNAME

Set the condor operating system name for this job manager to be the specified OSNAME. This is optional when the job manager type is condor.

-globus-gatekeeper-host HOST

Set the name of the gatekeeper host. This will be made available in the GLOBUS_GATEKEEPER_HOST RSL substitution.

-globus-gatekeeper-port PORT

Set the TCP port of the gatekeeper. This will be made available in the GLOBUS_GATEKEEPER_PORT RSL substitution.

-globus-gatekeeper-subject SUBJECT

Set the GSI subject name of the gatekeeper. This will be made available in the GLOBUS_GATEKEEPER_SUBJECT RSL substitution.

-globus-host-manufacturer MANUFACTURER

Set the manufacturer name of the host machine. This will be made available in the GLOBUS_HOST_MANUFACTURER RSL substitution.

-globus-host-cputype CPUTYPE

Set the cpu type of the host machine. This will be made available in the GLOBUS_HOST_CPUTYPE RSL substitution.

-globus-host-osname OSNAME

Set the operating system name of the host machine. This will be made available in the GLOBUS_HOST_OSNAME RSL substitution.

-globus-host-osversion OSVERSION

Set the operating system version of the host machine. This will be made available in the GLOBUS_HOST_OSVERSION RSL substitution.

-globus-tcp-port-range RANGE

Set the range of TCP port numbers which the job manager will use. This will also be made available in the GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE environment variable and RSL substitution.

-globus-tcp-source-range RANGE

Set the range of TCP source port numbers which the job manager will use. This will also be made available in the GLOBUS_TCP_SOURCE_RANGE environment variable and RSL substitution.

-state-file-dir PATH

Set the path to store job manager state files (used for restarting a job manager which fails). If this is not set, then job state files will be stored in the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/tmp/gram_job_state directory.

-x509-cert-dir PATH

Set the path to the X.509 trusted certificate directory on the job execution hosts. If not present, then the trusted certificate directory used by the job manager (usually set by the Gatekeeper) will be used

-seg-module MODULE

Use the named module as a way to interact with the scheduler instead of polling for job status.

-audit-directory DIRECTORY

Store job auditing records in DIRECTORY. This directory should be sticky and group writable but not group readable. Audit records can be uploaded to a database by using the globus-gram-audit command.

-globus-toolkit-version VERSION-STRING

Use the string VERSION-STRING as the toolkit version in audit records.

-enable-syslog

Send log messages to the system log.

-stdio-log LOG_DIRECTORY

Obsolete way to set the directory for writing log messages. Messages will be written to LOG_DIRECTORY/gram_DATE.log. Use -log-pattern instead

-log-pattern PATTERN

RSL-substituted pattern for naming log files. Possible variables are HOME, LOGNAME, DATE. The -stdio-log is equivalent to -log-pattern /home/buildd/gram_.log

-log-levels [FATAL|ERROR|WARN|DEBUG|INFO|TRACE]

List of log levels to enable site-wide. These may be joined by the '|' character.
