Hi Aaron, Thanks for the feedback and sorry about the troubles. Looks like we need to make some improvements in the GT doc.
I assume you looked at the quickstart guide for setting up the GT components. Maybe that is too basic and does not discuss well the options/recommendations for setting up a grid? Seems like we need a new higher-level doc for that. http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/5.0/5.0.0/admin/quickstart/#quickstart For the GRAM LRMs supported by Globus, there is a list here in the admin guide. SGE is listed there. That seems ok to me. http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/5.0/5.0.0/execution/gram5/admin/#gram5-admin-lrmAdapters Cheers, -Stu On Feb 8, 2010, at Feb 8, 9:58 PM, Aaron Hicks wrote: > 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.
