Sorry everyone, posted this to the wrong list. ...perhaps the announce list shouldn't be postable by anyone.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Aaron Hicks Sent: Tuesday, 2 February 2010 1:29 p.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [Globus] Breaking up the Globus modules Hi all, The Globus toolkit documentation states that Globus Toolkit 5.0.0 is modular, and it gives some explanation about each component (MyProxy, GridFTP, RLS, GRAM5, etc). What's not stated is which modules must be installed on First Node ('elephant' in the Quickstart guide), and which modules could be installed on other servers. It looks like MyProxy and GridFTP could be set up on separate machines, but I'm unsure about the other components. We'd like to _not_ have a single monolithic installation on the head node of our cluster, and instead distribute out various services (like MyProxy) to virtual machines, or GridFTP/RLS onto a server/VM backed by our SAN. This would allow us to tweak these components of Globus without interfering with the others. ...it's going to be complex enough setting up GRAM5 so that it pipes jobs into SGE. It looks like it should just work. Regards, Aaron Hicks Please consider the environment before printing this email Warning: This electronic message together with any attachments is confidential.
