Verifying the Installation and Configuration of Oracle Grid Engine

Before you install the HA for Oracle Grid Engine packages, verify that the Oracle Grid Engine software is correctly installed and configured to run in a cluster. This verification does not verify that the Oracle Grid Engine application is highly available because the HA for Oracle Grid Engine data service is not yet installed.

How to Verify the Installation and Configuration of Oracle Grid Engine

You verify the installation and configuration of Oracle Grid Engine by submitting a dummy job and checking that the required processes are running.

1. Log in to the master host as the administrative user whose account you created in Preparing the Nodes and Disks.
2. Set the SGE_ROOT environment variable to the directory for the root of Oracle Grid Engine file system that you created in Preparing the Nodes and Disks.

   $ SGE_ROOT=sge-root-dir 
   $ export SGE_ROOT

3. Start the script that modifies your environment to enable Oracle Grid Engine to run.

   $ . $SGE_ROOT/default/common/settings.sh

4. Submit a dummy job to Oracle Grid Engine.

   $ qsub $SGE_ROOT/examples/jobs/sleeper.sh
   your job 1 (*Sleeper*) has been submitted 

5. On the master host, confirm that these processes are running:

   • sge_qmaster

   • sge_schedd

   #  ps -ef | grep sge_ 
   root  429  1  0  Jul 27 3:37 /global/gridmaster/bin/solaris64/sge_qmaster
   root  429  1  0  Jul 27 3:37 /global/gridmaster/bin/solaris64/sge_schedd

6. View the global configuration of the grid.

   • If you are using the command line, type the following command:

     $ qconf -sconf

   • If you are using the QMON graphical user interface (GUI), select Cluster Configuration.

7. On at minimum one execution host, confirm that these processes are running:

   • sge_execd

   #  ps -ef | grep sge_ 
   root  451  1 0  Jul 27 3:37 /global/gridmaster/bin/solaris64/sge_execd
