Contents of This Software Package

The Grid Engine 6 Update 4 software distribution is made up of the following components:

• The grid engine software binary packages, including all daemons, client programs, and libraries. You must load and install one binary package for each operating system architecture you intend to use.

• The grid engine software common package, containing install scripts, and other architecture-independent utilities.

• The grid engine software documentation package, containing these release notes, the installation guide, user guide and administration guide in PDF and HTML formats.

  • The Sun Web Console package. You must select the package appropriate for the operating system architecture on which you plan to run the web console server.

  • The dbwriter package, written in Java and therefore available in only one version.

  • The ARCo module package, usable across different supported architectures.
