How to Verify the Installation and Configuration of Sun Grid Engine

You verify the installation and configuration of Sun 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 Sun 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 Sun Grid Engine to run.

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

4. Submit a dummy job to Sun 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
