Hi folks, SGE is broken for me. IT went through and updated the domain name for our hosts; but now I can’t seem to get SGE to update anything. If I use “qconf -me <hostname>” and update the domain name, SGE puts it right back to the old domain name.
I was able to get the queues and Host Groups updated with the new domain name, but that’s it. If I try to delete a host, I get the following error: Host object "knsim8" is still referenced in cluster queue "long.q". However, like I said, I _was_ able to get the queues updated to the new domain name so I don’t know why I would be getting the aforementioned error; and I did stop/start the master daemon after doing updating the queues just in case it was necessary. I’m at a loss as to what to try next in order to salvage our SGE installation. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Hi Daniel, Thank you for your feedback. I am kind of thinking of staying with the FQDN at this point since that technique has been working well for us.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of Western Digital. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know that the content is safe. I always use the FQDN. I recall running into problems with SunRPC if not... there may be ways to get around that, e.g. have each host announce it's raw hostname as its FQDN, but it might not be compatible with the hosts having normal network access. I forget what specific mechanism SunRPC uses to find the hostname.

Or can I simply use the hostname in order for grid to operate correctly? That is, do I have to use hostname.domain.com<http://hostname.domain.com> (as I am currently doing). Or is it sufficient to simply use “hostname”?

Hi Daniel, Thank you for your reply. From: Daniel Povey <dpo...@gmail.com<mailto:dpo...@gmail.com>> You may have to write a script to do that, but it could be something like for exechost in $(qconf -sel); do qconf -se $exechost | sed s/old_domain_name/new_domain_name/ > tmp qconf -de $exechost qconf -Ae tmp done but you might need to tweak that to get it to work, e.g. get rid of load_values from the tmp file. [Mun] Understood. Since we have a fairly small set of servers currently, I may just update them by hand via “qconf -me <hostname>”; and then address the queues via “qconf -mq <qname>”. Oh, and I just noticed I can modify hostgroups via “qconf -mhgrp @name”. After that I can re-start the daemons and I “should” be good to go, right? Thanks again Daniel.

[Mun] An outage is acceptable; but I'm not sure what is the best/easiest approach to take in order to change the domain names within SGE for all of the servers as well as update the hostgroups and queues. I mean, I know I can delete the hosts and add them back in; and the same for the queue specifications, etc. However, I'm not sure if that is an adequate solution or one that will cause problems for me. I'm also not sure if that is the best approach to take for this task.
