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?
I would assume that most likely the `arch` script inside SGE isn't prepared for
your actual kernel, i.e. a case for 4.* kernels is missing. What does:
$ $SGE_ROOT/util/arch
return?
If I install the packages available through apt-get,
/usr/share/gridengine/util/arch returns: lx-amd64.
This is fine.
If the startup fails, there are usually some message in file in /tmp called
qmasterd.$PID or beginning with execd.$PID alike. Can you spot anything there?
There are no such files in /tmp, indeed, no files called qmasterd*
anywhere in the filesystem.
The grid engine logging seems to happen in /var/spool/gridengine. In
qmaster/messages, I have:

There is a execd directory, but there are no files in it.
