Hi Steve-
I have been unable to find external or internal documentation about glibc
compatibility for lx24.
I have since upgraded to SGE 6.2u7 and the glibc installed (SL 6.1) is as
follows
Name: glibc
Arch: x86_64
Version : 2.12
Release : 1.47.el6
Size: 12 M
Repo: installed
From repo : sl-securit
Name: glib
Arch: x86_64
Epoch : 1
Version : 1.2.10
Release : 33.el6
Size: 354 k
Repo: installed
From repo : base
Would you happen to have any suggestions on where I can look to rule out
glibc-based problems?
Thanks much,
Wil

This smells like there could be problems with glibc version.. the
lx24 is presuming either a kernel version or a glibc version or both.
Do you have the appropriate compatibility glibc libraries installed?

Hi-
It is 64-bit on 64-bit. The exact version is from
'ge-6.2-bin-lx24-amd64.tar.gz' and 'ge-6.2-common.tar.gz'. So I can rule
out that issue.
As for the problems, I can provide more detail, but in brief (sort of):
1. The installation is w/o incident and I have used all the suggested
defaults. Out of frustration, I've also installed in a couple of dozen
time
changing some of the more flexible defaults one at a time.
2. The simple job runs as it should.
3. There are 3 nodes (with the master also serving as an executor). All
are
talking to each other in term of the SGE ports and NFS.
4. My inquire was intended to be general in terms of some possible
incompatibility between SGE and SL 6.1, the comment which follow have,
unfortunately, the factor of submitting jobs using an analysis
application.
The script which this application uses is a bit convoluted, but I studied
pretty well and, if there is some problem, I don't see it. I have not
received any negative feedback from other users of this application.
Unfortunately, it really isn't possible to submit the job from this
application w/o using the accompanying script. So, of course, there is a
bit of black-box factor.
5. One particular job is very large (~20K commands). After the commands
are
generated and submitted, SGE returns the rather confusing error message of
Unable to run job: job rejected: You try to submit a job with more than
75000 tasks. Exiting. 75000 is the configured limit, but I can readily
see
the command lines being generated and it is exactly 16900. I would say in
general, this is the most perplexing problem.
6. #5 is accompanied by failure email messages, but no 16900 messages (I
would say many hundred). I can't explain this behavior either. It could
actually be an email server issue and not related to SGE, per se.
7. Another example is or will appear to be very specific to the analysis
application I am using as opposed to a general SGE issue. For this
application, there is an explicit user variable to set the queue, and I
have set it to 'verylong.q'. When I submit a much smaller job (~200
commands) to try to figure out what is going wrong, the 'verylong.q' is
ignored and 'short.q' is selected. But more curious and more SGE-related
is
the job will run, but it runs the commands in series and only uses 1
processor on the master node (each node has 6 x 2 cores).
That's a flavor of what is causing my sanity to slowly drift away.
Regards,
Wil

Are you trying to run either:
1. A 32 bit version of SGE 6.2 on a 64 bit SL 6.1 system?
or
2. A 64 bit version of SGE 6.2 on a 32 bit SL 6.1 system?
In the case #1, you should be able to get SGE to run once you install
the necessary 32 bit compatibility libraries, or (recommended) switch
to a 64 bit version of SGE 6.2.
In the case #2, you are going to be out of luck...

Hello-
I am having unparalleled (no pun intended) problems getting SGE 6.2 to
run under SL 6.1. I have consulted with others who have quite a bit of
experience using SGE on an earlier version of SL, and we cannot
determine
why it won't run.
Before I list the nature of the problems, I though I would start by
asking if anyone has had a successful experience with SGE 6.2 on SL 6.1.
I'm running kernel: 2.6.32-220.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 22
11:15:52
CST 2011 x86_64
Thanks for any help.
