Hi, all. I've got a twenty-four-node cluster running versions of CentOS
5 and Sun Grid Engine. This cluster desperately needs its node OSes
upgraded to be able to install newer software packages, a job I've been
tasked with. The users want to put Ubuntu on the nodes.
I've been working in virtual machines, trying to get some form of grid
engine to work. My understanding is that the old Sun Grid Engine simply
won't work in any modern Linux kernel. Ubuntu 18.04 has a bunch of Son
of Grid Engine packages available through apt-get, but I haven't been
able to get these to work — the services won't run. All instructions I
have found on the web seem to be old and just don't work. I'm even
willing to consider Univa Grid Engine — but they never responded to my
request for trial software.
How should I proceed? What grid engine can I install that will work on a
modern Ubuntu distribution? What tricks do I need to know to get it to
work. Can someone point me to something to get me started?
