I was basically trying to follow the old "Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.1 Installation Guide" instructions to install an Exection Host from the following URL: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19957-01/820-0697/i999062/index.html > > - Prepare a proper /etc/hosts or NIS or alike on the new machine, so that > all machines in the cluster are known for it (and also the old machines > should be able to reference the new one) > - Mount /opt/sge or /usr/sge on the new exechost > [Mun] When SGE was initially installed, a common mount was not used. SGE_ROOT is local to each host. It doesn't "feel" right to copy $SGE_ROOT/default from a working host to the new host; but I don't know how to get that directory on the new host otherwise. > - Copy $SGE_ROOT/default/common/sgeexecd to /etc/init.d > > Depending on the startup of services you need either: > > # /etc/init.d/sgeexecd start > # chkconfig --add sgeexecd > > or > > # systemctl daemon-reload > # systemctl start sgeexecd.service > # systemctl enable sgeexecd.service > > BTW: Is tmpdir in the queue definition just /tmp or do you need an > additional /scratch or alike on the new machine too? > [Mun] I don't understand this question, sorry. Are you referring to the SGE queues? Regards, -- Mun > -- Reuti
