Does anyone have experience using LoadLeveler in an AFS environment?
If so, have you found a secure way to refresh tickets for jobs that
have been in the job queue for an unknown amount of time?
We run jobs that may sit in the LoadLeveler queue for (much) longer
than the life time of a ticket while waiting for resources, and some
jobs that may need to run for longer than the life time of a ticket.
LoadLeveler seems to provide support for ticket renewal -- according
to the manual -- but we have been unable to figure out how it is
supposed to work. We have also been unable to find anyone at IBM who
knows how it is supposed to work.
(Although Transarc is an IBM company, IBM seems to care very little
about AFS....)
If any of you have any experience with LL and AFS, I'd love to hear
from you.
Thanks,
