I'm pretty new to grid engine, but have been getting along ok setting up a
small rendering farm with the version packaged with Fedora 16. Here's a
question though:
I have software that is licensed per host - I can run as many instances as I
like on a host and they will consume a single license. But I can't figure out
how to set this limitation up in grid engine; I assume it can be done with
complexes but can't get my head around how to do it. Any ideas?
unfortunatelly there is no direct support for this kind of licensing. It was
discussed already on the list, to support for a consumable besides YES/NO and
JOB the behavior of HOST and HOSTONCE:
http://arc.liv.ac.uk/pipermail/gridengine-users/2010-November.txt (please
search for HOSTONCE)
Is that adequately covered by existing issues like
https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE/ticket/622 or does it need another one?
On the one hand: yes, it's covered by this. Like the overall slot count on a
machine (which can be set up in the exechost definiton or an RQS), both ways
would work. It's a matter of taste how to set it up finally (request a resource
because of HOSTONCE or request a queue because of the RQS).
Having too many fundamental limits in the RQS might give long ouptuts.
Therefore I came up with:
https://arc.liv.ac.uk/trac/SGE/ticket/1318
-- Reuti
While this would give a solution to the topic under discussion, I do
think that having a resource that is consumed per-host would still be a
cleaner solution, and would fit in with how pretty much every other type
of licensing is done (to the best of my knowledge, anyway!)

Oh, and a side question - I'm confused about the proliferation of
versions. Which grid engine is actually in the Fedora 16
distribution? Is it the last Sun open source one or one of the
offshoots?
Search for %changelog in this output for the details:
rpm2cpio gridengine-6.2u5-5.fc15.src.rpm | cpio --to-stdout -i gridengine.spec
You definitely don't want that version if you run tightly-integrated
parallel jobs, but there's a one-line fix for the bug (posts passim).
