Hi, I am having some issues installing and running SGE on Centos 7. I appreciate that that is not officially supported, but it is what I have to work with.
I can build SGE from source just fine, either by rebuilding the source rpm or the distribution tarball. Installing these to /opt/sge also works without issue. However running one of the install scripts (inst_sge, start_gui_installer) invariable fails when it attempts to launch qmaster:
Starting Grid Engine qmaster sge_qmaster start problem sge_qmaster didn't start! sge_qmaster start problem
On further investigation it seems that the qmaster process is indeed running, but communication with it is not possible. Indeed, running qstat yields:
error: commlib error: got select error (Broken pipe) error: unable to contact qmaster using port 6444 on host "radium"
According to `ps aux | grep qmaster`, the process /opt/sge/bin/lx-amd64/sge_qmaster is running however. This issue occurs on 8.1.9 as well as on 8.1.8. I tried installing 8.1.9 on centos 6 and it works as expected there. I should mention that all of this is happening inside a qemu VM on a Slackware host. For completeness it is launched as follows: qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=sda_sge.cow,format=qcow2 -m 1G -enable-kvm -smp 2 Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
