Hello,
Is there any reason not to have two (or more) machines running as CEs
without each having a separate SE? I guess not, but the LCFG config files
that come with the EDG release and from the GridPP web pages seem to
assume this. I would like to try following the instructions for "putting
an existing farm on the testbed" but I would rather not touch the existing
CE until I have got the procedure to work.
Can I just add the extra CE to SITE_CE_HOSTS or will this cause problems
due to sharing SITE_WN_HOSTS or anything like that? If I remember
correctly this is only used for NFS exports and the actual WNs used are
set in the post-LCFG PBS configuration.
Otherwise I suppose I could create a separate "site-cfg.h" file for the
extra CE, changing all the CE- and WN-related variables.
In either case, do I have to do anything to the SE configuration other
than adding the extra CE to the NFS export list? Or can I just do without
a SE altogether for the extra CE?
Any help or advice would be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Ben
