Hi Norbert: As Reuti says here: http://gridengine.org/pipermail/users/2012-October/004927.html There are scripts to save and load the actual configuration to text files: $ ls /usr/sge/util/upgrade_modules inst_upgrade.sh load_sge_config.sh save_sge_config.sh We've used these a few times over

[gridengine users] Migrating from sge 6.2u5 to 8.1.7

2014-09-18 Thread Norbert Crettol
Hello, I've compiled and tested SGE 8.1.7. It looks like it works well in our environment (Linux Ubuntu workstations and virtual nodes). Now, I'd like to upgrade our current 6.2u5 cluster to this 8.1.7 version. I've seen that there's a "inst_sge -upd" that should do the job but I cannot find doc

Hi Jose: I look forward to hearing about any good opensource projects myself! I wrote some terrible PHP in the distant past, that was too scary to ever release publicly (even to our users), but it's defininitely doable. I don't believe Univa has a web interface/portal. The only commercial prod

Dear community members, As a prospective grid portal user I am comparing different alternatives. As far as I know Grid Engine since its early days in Sun, I would like to give it a try. Nevertheless, one of my main concerns is that my users are not linux-skilled and would need something graphical.

Hi, The hosts are free before running the jobs and are all identical in terms of available resources. Looking a bit deeper into the problem, it seems that sometimes jobs requesting only 8 slots are executed on the nodes, overriding the check in the prolog (which says the number of slots has to be

Thanks Ursula for your reply, but we need a parallel environment for more than one node (we are using it with MPI). Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. I give you an example. We have hosts with 16 slots. Now the user requests 32 slots for a job, but instead of allocating slots on two nodes, sometimes

Hi Rafa, for such purposes we have configured a separate Parallel Environment with "allocation_rule" "$pe_slots" (instead of "$fill_up"). Jobs scheduled with this rule can run ONLY on one host. Regards, Usula -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: users-boun...@gridengine.org [mailto:users-bou

Hello everyone, We are having an issue with the parallel environments and the allocation of slots with the fill up policy. Although we have configured the resource quotas of the queues not to use more than the number of slots the machine have and we control in the prolog that the jobs be submitte
