Just copy the complete $SGE_ROOT then to the same location as on the other exyechosts to the new node. Especially the $SGE_ROOT/default/common contains the settings how to address the qmaster, i.e. its name. This is the idea to share at least this directory branch from the complete installation. The spool directory inside $SGE_ROOT/default can be skipped, as it will be recreated during startup of the exechost (i.e. one for this particular node). If this is a new installation of Linux, it might be necessary to adjust $SGE_ROOT/util/arch, so that also newer Linux kernels are covered. -- Reuti > - 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.
