Add IPv6 Support to Condor

Project Name

Add IPv6 Support to Condor

Project Description

Sooner or later we're going to have to live with IPv6. Many applications are very tied to IPv4 and that includes Condor. Understand what IP addresses really mean to Condor, like many existing systems, and what the implications of an IPv6 conversion means and how it can be done. There are many resources about IPv6 interfaces, but not many good transition guides, and fewer that address what the change can really mean to an application - Condor takes addresses and passes them as ascii text between components.

Oct 28, 2008:

• Downloaded condor 7.05 source tarball onto Ireland system (running rawhide)
• Unpacked tarball, changed to src directory and ran ./build_init (seemed to run ok)
• Tried to run configure but got error (something dealing with build_external)
  • to fix this I ran ./configure --disable-glibc-version-check but this produced another error - I needed to install csh
• later in the evening Chris installed Fedora 9 so I'll have to start over.

Oct 29, 2008:

• Now that Ireland is running Fedora 9, I did yum install condor - worked ok
  • ran condor_master
  • ran condor_status
  • ran condor_off
  • ran condor_off -master
• Also, on China (running Fedora 8) I downloaded condor 7.05 source tarball.
  • installed csh
  • ran ./build_init
  • ran ./configure --disable-glibc-version-check
  • ran make - got error "asm/page.h no such file

Oct 30, 2008:

• In the Ireland system, Edit and compile a simple "Hello World" c program
• Edit a submit file named hello.sub, submit the file to condor (condor_submit hello.sub)
• Run condor_q to check on the status of my job

• Check the submit job on Ireland machine, it hasn't worked.
• On Korea machine(Fedora 9), run yum install condor -- Can't install, remind me lack of gsoap

  • yum install condor -- OK
• On China machine(Fedora 8), reconfigure using the command "./configure --disable-glibc-version-check --disable-glibc-full-port", then run make it's ok.
• On China machine, create a condor1 virtual machine for Fedora 9, and install condor on virtual machine
  • Solve network problem:
    • 1.Stop firewall
    • 2.Enable ipforward: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
    • 3.run "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE"
