Hi All, Still working on this, having a very difficult time figuring out what components of the Globus Toolkit I need to install, and where they ought to be installed.
I have figured that I can just have GRAM5 on the Head Node (aka Service Node, first node) of our cluster and use the LRM Adaptor and LRM Module to push jobs into our existing Sun Grid Engine. A lot of reading needed to find that GRAM5 supports SGE out of the box. ...but do not want the GridFTP service managed or stored from the Head Node. I've also found that you often have to drill very deeply into the documentation before you discover that you do or don't need a component. Even as far as reading the SRB site to figure out that I won't need that and the SRB-DSI until much later.
