Hi agian,

I've got my cluster almost back up after upgrading to Rocks 6.2.

Regarding installing SoGE 8.1.8 - I'm wondering how to do this. Is it as
simple as yum-installing the rpm(s?) on the head and compute nodes, then
using the load_sge_config.sh script on the head node? I haven't found any
documentation on this. Thanks for any suggestions.

-M
