Installing N1 Grid Engine onto Servers

You can install N1GE versions onto managed server groups or onto individual servers. The method of installation is to load an application profile onto a server while specifying the server's N1GE role.

You cannot install the master host with the load group command. To create an N1GE master host, use the load server command.

To Load N1GE Onto a Managed Server Group

Before You Begin

To deploy N1GE, you must previously have created an application (specifying a particular N1GE version) and an associated application profile (specifying the installation parameters).

Steps

1. Access the N1SM CLI (see Accessing the N1SM CLI).

2. Use the load group command to install an N1GE version onto a group of servers. This is the command syntax:

   load group group applicationprofile applicationprofile type GridEngine hosttype [hosttype]

   group

   The name of a server group. To create a server group, use the N1SM create group command.

   applicationprofile

   The name of the N1GE application profile that you want to load.

   type

   The type of application that the profile belongs to; in this case, GridEngine.

   hosttype

   The type of N1 Grid Engine host to install. Valid values are compute (also known as an execution host) and submit (also known as an access host).

Example 2–7 Loading N1GE onto a Server Group

N1-ok>load group MyComputeServers applicationprofile N1GE6_U4_profile type GridEngine hosttype compute

To Load N1GE Onto Managed Servers

Steps

1. Access the N1SM CLI (see Accessing the N1SM CLI).

2. Use the load server command to install N1GE on one or several managed servers. This is the command syntax:

   load server server[,server...] applicationprofile applicationprofile type GridEngine hosttype [hosttype]

   server

   The management name of a server.

   applicationprofile

   The name of the N1GE application profile that you want to load.

   type

   The type of application that the profile belongs to; in this case, GridEngine.

   hosttype

   The type of N1 Grid Engine host to install. Valid values are compute (also known as execution host), submit (also known as an access host), and master.

Example 2–8 Loading N1GE on a Master Host

N1-ok>load server MyMasterHost applicationprofile N1GE6_U4_profile 
type GridEngine hosttype master

To Unload N1GE From Managed Server Group

Before You Begin

You cannot use the unload group command to uninstall a N1GE master host; you must use the unload server command.

Steps

1. Access the N1SM CLI (see Accessing the N1SM CLI).

2. Use the unload group command to uninstall N1GE from a group of servers. This is the command syntax:

   unload group group applicationprofile applicationprofile type GridEngine

   group

   The name of a server group. To create a server group, see the N1SM create group command.

   applicationprofile

   The name of the N1GE application profile that you want to unload.

   type

   The type of application that the profile belongs to; in this case, GridEngine.

Example 2–9 Unloading a N1GE From a Managed Server Group

N1-ok>unload group MyComputeServers applicationprofile N1GE6_U4_profile type GridEngine

To Unload N1GE From a Managed Server

Steps

1. Access the N1SM CLI (see Accessing the N1SM CLI).

2. Use the unload server command to uninstall N1GE from one or more servers. The command syntax is:

   unload server server[,server...] applicationprofile applicationprofile type GridEngine

   server

   The management name of a server.

   applicationprofile

   The name of the N1GE application profile that you want to unload.

   type

   The type of application that the profile belongs to; in this case, GridEngine.

Example 2–10 Unloading a Profile from a Managed Server

N1-ok>unload server MyMasterHost applicationprofile N1GE6_U4_profile type GridEngine
