What does "officially supported" mean?


That was perhaps a bad wording on my part.

The rpms in the releases directory are named as explicitly for
rhel5/6. I
just took that to mean that they hadn't been tried on centos 7.

What does "officially supported" mean?  I think it does still need
systemd damage fixing, but CentOS 7 is no less supported than anything
else in principle -- i.e. very little now, I'm afraid.

Thank you for pointing it out!  It is working now.

Subject: [SGE-discuss] Trouble installing SGE 8 on Centos 7

Hi,

I am having some issues installing and running SGE on Centos 7.  I appreciate 
that that is not officially supported, but it is what I have to work with.

I can build SGE from source just fine, either by rebuilding the source rpm or 
the distribution tarball. Installing these to /opt/sge also works without 
issue.  However running one of the install scripts (inst_sge,
start_gui_installer)
invariable fails when it attempts to launch qmaster:

>   Starting Grid Engine qmaster
> sge_qmaster start problem
> sge_qmaster didn't start!
> sge_qmaster start problem


On further investigation it seems that the qmaster process is indeed running, 
but communication with it is not possible.  Indeed, running qstat
yields:

> error: commlib error: got select error (Broken pipe)
> error: unable to contact qmaster using port 6444 on host "radium"

According to `ps aux | grep qmaster`, the process 
/opt/sge/bin/lx-amd64/sge_qmaster is running however.


This issue occurs on 8.1.9 as well as on 8.1.8.  I tried installing 8.1.9 on 
centos 6 and it works as expected there.

I should mention that all of this is happening inside a qemu VM on a Slackware 
host.
For completeness it is launched as follows:

qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=sda_sge.cow,format=qcow2 -m 1G -enable-kvm -smp 2

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

Max
