Hey folks, Firstly, I know very little about Gridengine. If there is some recommended reading that will easily answer my question, please be so kind as to point me at it. I manage a few linux clusters, one of which runs SGE 6.2u3 on RHEL 5.8
That cluster has a dedicated node for sgemaster, which also exports /gridware to the other nodes. To me this seems wasteful since the load on that system is flatlined at just about zero 100% of the time. It essentially does nothing. I have several months of "munin" data to show this. This would seem to tell me that I could put sgemaster on one of the compute nodes without putting any excess load on that node. Then repurpose the box running sgemaster. As for the /gridware currently exported by the sgemaster, I would move that to our ZFS appliance. Do most people keep a dedicated node for sgemaster? Or do most do as I'd like to do and run it on a compute node? thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food" _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
