Re: [Kaldi-developers] GridEngine (or similar) on Red Hat

[Tony R. <to...@sp...>]

Hi Dan,

.rpms do have dependency information, but rpm as a command doesn't know 
how to deal with unknown dependencies.   So either it works or you spend 
hours trying to do it manually - not fun and not maintainable so I'd 
rule out using rpms directly.   Yum is the interface one layer up that 
deals with dependencies, I like it better than apt-get (which still gets 
in a mess far too often - but I'm now back to using over a decade later).

A quick look at son of grid engine says that it's Redhat/CentOS 5/6 not 
7.   The last release date is 23-Oct-2014.  I don't think this gets us 
anywhere as the instructions below will install on Redhat/CentOS 5/6 
anyway (it does get a more recent release and more complex 
functionality, but we don't need that).

Instructions for Redhat/CentOS 6 are below.


Tony

# To install all

yum -y install gridengine-qmaster gridengine-execd gridengine-qmon

# note that gridengine-qmon has broken graphics dependencies on CentOS6 
so most hosts only need:

yum -y install gridengine-execd

# for gridmaster only

cd /usr/share/gridengine
./install_qmaster

# take defaults except:
#
# install as root (first questions)
# do not enable the JMX MBean server
# use classic database
# use email to...@ca...
# add code0,code1,...  or use /home/tonyr/hosts
# no shadow hosts

# For all other hosts

# For a new machine, on an *existing* host:
qconf -ah code41.cantabResearch.com
qconf -as code41.cantabResearch.com

# On the new machine
cd /usr/share/gridengine
scp -rp code6:/usr/share/gridengine/default /usr/share/gridengine
rm -f /usr/share/gridengine/default/common/accounting
./install_execd
# and say yes to everything (CR)

# and add everyone as a administrator

qconf -am tonyr,**DELETED**

You wouldn't believe how many years it took to get the instructions down 
to this level of simplicity...
