Dear Experts,

Could someone recommend some "quick and dirty" HOWTO on condor based cluster?

A did a bunch of cluster setups, I always used PBS (or torque lately). But my professor wants his to be Condor. I started reading Condor documentation, and it is vast. And quick route, like: architecture chart, and parameters I need to configure on master/submit, and compute nodes - somehow manages to escape me. I'm at a real loss now. All works well on a single machine (for quite some time already), but I am clueless about how to add compute nodes. And my web search abilities seem to have left me just on this one: all I'm able to find (together with a heap of how to submit jobs to existing thing) are a couple of "./install" based setups - whereas mine is rpm based - from their yum repository (for which they say: DO NOT USE condor_configure script, but go ahead and edit config files ... - as opposed to "./install")

Any pointers anybody?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Valeri
