Sun Grid Engine 6.2 on SL 6.1

2012-01-11 Thread Wil Irwin
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

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

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.

It appears that we can likely eliminate 32/64 bit issues, then. Some more questions: Is this 20K command job: - a sequence of trivially parallel commands, - an MPI job, - a job array, - or is it a complicated DAG? Can you capture the qsub(s) commands associated with this job? Are you sure

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? Steve Timm On Wed, 11 Jan 2012, Wil Irwin wrote: Hi- It is 64-bit on 64-bit. The

Hi Keith- I would characterize the 20K commands as mostly trivial (~5 minutes of CPU time per command). Unfortunately, because of the nature of the way the application generates and submits the commands, it's sort of a close loop. I have not ruled this out, but, while the suggestion is greatly
