How to set up a gatekeeper with a GRAM job manager ================================================== The following commands should be executed as root unless otherwise specified. Enabling a service configuration -------------------------------- The gatekeeper service needs to have a GRAM job manager configured that runs the tasks that the gatekeeper accepts. In order to configure a job manager first install configuration package corresponding to your local resource management system (LRMS). For a small test setup without an LRMS use a "fork" service. The following configuration packages exists to choose from: - globus-gram-job-manager-condor - globus-gram-job-manager-fork-setup-poll - globus-gram-job-manager-fork-setup-seg - globus-gram-job-manager-pbs-setup-poll - globus-gram-job-manager-pbs-setup-seg - globus-gram-job-manager-sge-setup-poll - globus-gram-job-manager-sge-setup-seg For many LRMSs you have a choice between a setup the keeps track of the state of the submitted jobs by polling the LRMS's queuing system, or a setup that uses the Globus Scheduler Event Generator service. After installing one of the packages above, enable the service you want to use by running globus-gatekeeper-admin -e <type> [-n <name>] where <type> is the type of service you want to run, and the optional <name> is an name under which the service will be available. The list of available service types depends on what configuration packages you have installed and can be found by listing the /etc/grid-services/available directory. If the name option is omitted the name will be the same as the type. You can run more than one service in the same gatekeeper as long they have different names. If you want to have a defult service configured this service should have the name "jobmanager". If you use one of the setups that uses the Globus Scheduler Event Generator services you must also activate this service. globus-scheduler-event-generator-admin -e <type> Where <type> is the LRMS type for which events should be tracked. The list of available LRMS types depends on what configuration packages you have installed and can be found by listing the /etc/globus/scheduler-event-generator/available/ directory. Starting the service -------------------- Before starting the service make sure you have a host certificate and key installed in the right locations and with the right permissions. - /etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem - /etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem To start the gatekeeper service, run service globus-gatekeeper start To start the scheduler event generator service (if needed), run service globus-scheduler-event-generator start To make the services start automatically at boot, run chkconfig globus-gatekeeper on chkconfig globus-scheduler-event-generator on Testing the service ------------------- Athentication test against the new gatekeeper - as a non-root user with a valid user proxy, run globusrun -a -r <resource-contact> where <resource-contact> is the service's contact string. See "man globusrun" for details.
