Hello,
I have been using and setting up small computing clusters using gridengine, nm,
and PsN without issue for a while using ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 as both the host
node and execution node. Recently I have been requested to install a similar
configuration with the only difference being that RHEL5 would be the os instead
of ubuntu. Because RedHat does not seem to have a gridengine package, I
downloaded the open grid scheduler targz and used that. I am now running into a
few issues that I am hoping someone could assist me with:
1) upon running the 'execute' or 'bootstrap' commands, I get a warning for each
run: "warning: the use of mktemp' is dangerous, better use mkstemp'". For
example running bootstrap with 200 instances will print this message 200 times.
Perhaps something about the compiler on RedHat vs Ubuntu? I have not seen this
message before so I am not sure.
2) Running bootstrap usually placed all of the jobs in the gridengine queue so
that they would be visible using the "qstat -f" command, but now all of the
jobs execute without ever appearing here. Submitting a job manually with the
"qsub" command works find, and the job is visible, so gridengine is operational.
I will post the PsN config file on request, unless someone has a more general
suggestion.
Thank you for reading.
