##Discussed##
- setup the gateway using openvpn
- will get the block of IP to be used as the subnet on virtual cluster
- share the subnet on main cluster to be used as probable route
- setup the gateway on main cluster using openvpn and public ip from kaizen
- services like nfs on a node apart from controller on main cluster
- check the reachibility
- shouldn’t stop polling on main cluster
- other nodes on the cluster might get affected
- figure out an alternative using slurm reservation
- reservation to mark the node status as maint
- will not allocate the job when node is in maint status
- node may not be marked as down when the VM is suspended
- check the behaviour
- can update the reservation duration as required to maintain the status
- cvmfs file system for osg jobs
- uses autofs
- loads files on request
- requires to register the site and setup a proxy
- try exposing it as sshfs/nfs
- try sshfs on autofs and expose the sshfs mount point as nfs
- check will work or not
- slurm nodes should know about other nodes across networks
- tries to know the status of other nodes in the cluster
- if not found then marks the node as down
- will have to configure route for the node from main cluster to virtual cluster so as all the nodes to each other are visible
##To-Do##
- check the slurm behaviour anf job retention when a node is in maint state
- try exposing the cvmfs using sshfs/nfs and check the behaviour
