Now that the qmaster is set up and NFS is set up, I can finally set the machines up as execution hosts. I’m doing it in parallel on both machines. cd /usr/local/gridengine, sudo -s, and finally ./install_execd, and we’re on our way to another bulleted list describing lots of screens…
- Welcome Why, thank you!

Checking directory Looks good:
/usr/local/gridengine -
Cells Also good:
algore -
Checking hostname resolving This worked fine out of the box on the qmaster machine, but on the PowerBook the Bonjour name wasn’t getting resolved properly. So I added an entry to /etc/hosts on
astor.local:[local IP address] darwin.local. That fixed things. - Local spool directory configuration No local spools.
- Creating local configuration Done!
- execd startup script Yes! Done!
- execution daemon startup Started up!
- Adding a queue for this host Done on both. Looks like the 2-processor G5 detected two processors, and the 1-processor PowerBook detected 1. Smarty smarty. But a problem: “unable to resolve host [‘darwin’ | ‘astor’]”…I hope this doesn’t mean everything breaks.
- The rest… is just information already shown during the other installation. I hope that name-resolution problem doesn’t bite me in the ass.
Well, it looks like everything’s done. Testing…tomorrow. Time to sleep.
Replied to your sge-users mailing list post. Let me know if I can help with anything as much of my day to day SGE admin work is done on midsize to small Apple OS X clusters. If your systems are reachable via the internet and you’d trust me with an SSH login
I offer my debug/troubleshooting assistance as well.
