The optimum distribution of spool directories and binary files among file systems depends on the grid configuration. See the following table.
Grid Configuration |
File System Configuration |
---|---|
The execution tier contains fewer than 200 hosts. |
Use a single shared NFS file system under the root of the Sun Grid Engine file system for the spool directories and binary files. |
The execution tier contains about 200 hosts, or the applications are disk intensive. |
Use a separate area on an NFS file system for the spool directories. |
The execution tier contains more than 200 hosts, or NFS performance is likely to be a problem. |
See the Sun Grid Engine documentation for alternate grid configurations. |
