Automating Other Installations Through a Configuration File

In addition to installing the master host, you can perform a variety of other automatic installations using a similar process. The actual form of the inst_sge command differs slightly, and different sections of the configuration file apply. This section provides some examples.

• To install a shadow host, use the following form of the command:

  inst_sge -sm -auto full-path-to-configuration-file

  ---

  Tip –

  To install more than one shadow host, enter the host names in the <SHADOW_HOST> parameter section within the configuration file.

  ---

• You can install a separate execution host installation if the master host was installed without identified compute hosts or if you need to add additional compute hosts. For the execution host installation, you also need to have a configuration file.

  To install all configured execution hosts, use the following form of the command:

  inst_sge -x -auto full-path-to-configuration-file

• To install the Berkeley database server, use the following form of the command:

  inst_sge -db -auto full-path-to-configuration-file
