3.3. Testing

  1. Login to the frontend as a non-root user and create a certificate for that user by executing:

    $ grid-cert-request
  2. Now you'll sign the certificate. Logout as the user and login back in as root and execute:

    # local-ca-sign
  3. Now you'll need to log back in as a non-root user in order to run the following test job:

    $ grid-proxy-init
    $ globus-job-run localhost /bin/hostname

    This should output the hostname for the frontend.

    If you installed the SGE roll, then you can test the SGE/Grid roll integration by using Globus to submit an interactive job to SGE:

    $ globus-job-run localhost/jobmanager-sge /bin/hostname

    This should return the name of one of the compute nodes.
