Hi everyone,
I am tyring to setup several hundred machines to run boinc and contribute to WCG. It seems that I need to register each machine one by one so that they register properly under my wcg user account. Obviously this is not practical. Is there a way to automate the registration or to only use the boinc account key ? Has anyone setup boinc and WCG projects on a large cluster ? if yes how did you do it. -sebastien |

Have you looked this over?

Thanks, I will check it out.
I currently have a large Condor (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor) installation and want to backfill condor with boinc as described in: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v6.7/3_1...TION004139300000000000000 The images of the windows machines are pushed centrally and it seems we did not prepare the image properly since we don't get boinc results sent back to WCG. |

I am in a similar situation where I want to use the administrative image functionality of the 5.10.30 boinc client along with an .mst.
I've already taken advantage of the lazy slug resource; the mst creator is great since it creates *account.xml files and incorporates them into the .msi installation. ...but there have been problems. The goal has been to use the "service" install so that the client could run in the background at anytime the bank of computers is on. But it appears there is something wrong with the installation logic of the .mst file that the lazy slug creates. Using ORCA i've compared the properties set by the .mst versus what you could manually specify on a command line (msiexec-type install). When I removed some of the added "keys" from the mst, then the install using the mst would work. Here are some problems: -client is installed (according to installation log), but it does not appear in the "add\remove programs" control panel. -client once installed cannot connect to any of the project servers. (in fact I cannot add any new projects) |

The lazy slug's script allows you to suppress BOINC in ARP by marking it as a system component. It's in the property table, so it's simple enough to change manually if you need to.
You say the installed client can't connect. Can you be more precise? Please provide some log output if possible. Be aware that the >.30 clients include fixes for certain issues relating to proxies. |

I'm not real familar with the client; there are messages in the boincmgr application, but is there a log file in the c:\program files\boinc\... that I could paste to this forum?

The messages shown in BOINC Manager are logged in stdoutdae.txt
----------------------------------------Alternatively, copy them straight from BOINC Manager. edit: I need more sleep. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 27, 2008 4:55:09 PM] |

hmmm, the messages in my stdoutgui.txt have never appeared in my BOINCmgr message window. Opposed stdoutdae.txt do. Have I been looking in the wrong place all the time?

the problem is inconsistent. after pushing the install, it appears the clients (2 in test case) couldn't connect to any project server.
the project status set a 24hour countdown timer til the next attempted connect. if I initiated a "update" from boincmgr, the client eventually was able to contact the project server and appears to be working. Here is the summary of stougui.txt from one of the 2 pc's: 2/26/08 11:13:55] TRACE [244]: RPC_CLIENT::init connect 2: Winsock error '10061' [02/26/08 11:13:55] TRACE [244]: RPC_CLIENT::init connect on 296 returned -1 [02/26/08 11:13:56] TRACE [244]: RPC_CLIENT::init boinc_socket returned 392 [02/26/08 11:13:56] TRACE [244]: RPC_CLIENT::init connect returned -1 [02/26/08 11:13:56] TRACE [244]: RPC_CLIENT::init attempting connect [02/26/08 11:13:56] TRACE [244]: RPC_CLIENT::init_poll sock = 392 [02/26/08 11:13:56] TRACE [244]: RPC_CLIENT::init_poll sock = 392 [02/26/08 11:13:57] TRACE [244]: RPC_CLIENT::init_poll sock = 392 [02/26/08 11:13:57] TRACE [244]: RPC_CLIENT::init_poll connected to port 31416 [02/26/08 11:13:57] TRACE [244]: CAN'T FIND PROJECT http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ [02/27/08 09:52:14] TRACE [3036]: RPC_CLIENT::init boinc_socket returned 496 [02/27/08 09:52:14] TRACE [3036]: RPC_CLIENT::init connect returned -1 [02/27/08 09:52:14] TRACE [3036]: RPC_CLIENT::init attempting connect [02/27/08 09:52:14] TRACE [3036]: RPC_CLIENT::init_poll sock = 496 [02/27/08 09:52:14] TRACE [3036]: RPC_CLIENT::init_poll connected to port 31416 [02/27/08 09:52:14] TRACE [3036]: CAN'T FIND PROJECT http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ |
