Update: Finally coaxed it to work after a bit of cleanup.....
put desired hostname on loopback address. example 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost myhostname.mydomain.com myhostname act_qmaster set to the desired hostname cleaned up queue, admin, and sub host entries.... set hostname at the top of sgeqmaster script: ex: sysctlkernel.hostname=myhostname rebooted to check. works well now. One thing in startup script, had to tell it qmaster_host=true one time so that it would at least start up with the new name w/o issues once. then, removed the line and restarted the instance to check. All seems well. So the result is a standalone instance of soge 8.1.6 on aws ec2 that will not be effected by dhcp host name and ip addr changes..... Not standard by any means, but fits our app profile needs for slice and dice modelling work on a single multicore host..... -Ed -----Original Message----- From: Bill Bryce [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2014 04:45 PM To: 'Ed Lauzier' Cc: 'Chi Chan', [email protected] Group Subject: Re: [gridengine users] soge 8.1.6 - on a standalone aws ec2 instance with dhcp Grid Engine certainly doesn't like it when you use the loopback 127.0.0.1 for the hostname...if that is what you were intending to do.

I'll give it a shot and see how it works. I also use x11 graphical tools in the instance ( rstudio... R plots.....etc....)

What you get is a Xen VMon a standard DHCP network.You can set the localhost hostname using standard methods like/etc/hosts when your VM boots.--ChiOn Mon, Jan 27, 2014 at 3:24 PM, Ed Lauzier wrote:> Hi,>> Anyone have experience with aws ec2 and gridengine for a standalone instance> running ge with dhcp enabled?>> Is there a way to configure the ami so that if the ip address and hostname> change it will not effect the instance of ge.>> Ex: 16 core 30 GB ram with EBS storage 200 GB and where the ip addrss> and hostname may change when the instance is stopped and restarted.>> I guess we could have a wrapper starter script to set things up> automagically> every time the instance is started.>> Thanks,>> Ed>>> _______________________________________________> users mailing list> [email protected]> https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users>_______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
