Troubleshooting Automatic Installation and Uninstallation

The following errors might be encountered during auto-installation.

Problem: If the sge_cell directory exists, the installation terminates to avoid overwriting a previous installation.

Solution: Remove or rename the directory.

Problem: If the Berkeley database spooling directory exists, the installation terminates to avoid overwriting a previous installation.

Solution: This directory must be removed or renamed in order to proceed. Make sure that the ADMINUSER has permissions to write into the location where the Berkeley database spooling directory is located. The ADMINUSER will be the owner of the Berkeley database spooling directory.

Problem: The execution host installation appears to succeed, but the execution daemon is not started, or no load values are shown.

Solution: Verify that user root is allowed to rsh or ssh to the other host, without entering a password.

If your network does not allow user root to have permissions to connect to other hosts through rsh or ssh without asking for a password, the automatic installation will not work remotely. In this case, log in to the host and use the following command to start the automatic installation locally on each host:

% ./inst_sge -x -noremote -auto /tmp/install_config_file.conf
