Configuring Parallel Environments From the Command Line

Type the qconf command with appropriate options:

qconf options

The following options are available:

• qconf -ap pe-name

  The -ap option (add parallel environment) displays an editor containing a parallel environment configuration template. The editor is either the default vi editor or an editor defined by the EDITOR environment variable. pe-name specifies the name of the parallel environment. The name is already provided in the corresponding field of the template. Configure the parallel environment by changing the template and saving to disk. See the sge_pe(5) man page for a detailed description of the template entries to change.

• qconf -Ap filename

  The -Ap option (add parallel environment from file) parses the specified file filename and adds the new parallel environment configuration.

  The file must have the format of the parallel environment configuration template.

• qconf -dp pe-name

  The -dp option (delete parallel environment) deletes the specified parallel environment.

• qconf -mp pe-name

  The -mp option (modify parallel environment) displays an editor containing the specified parallel environment as a configuration template. The editor is either the default vi editor or an editor defined by the EDITOR environment variable. Modify the parallel environment by changing the template and saving to disk. See the sge_pe(5) man page for a detailed description of the template entries to change.

• qconf -Mp filename

  The -Mp option (modify parallel environment from file) parses the specified file filename and modifies the existing parallel environment configuration.

  The file must have the format of the parallel environment configuration template.

• qconf -sp pe-name

  The -sp option (show parallel environment) prints the configuration of the specified parallel environment to standard output.

• qconf -spl

  The -spl option (show parallel environment list) lists the names of all currently configured parallel environments.

To run parallel jobs, you must also associate a queue with the PE. Use the queue_conf(5) attribute pe_list to identify the suited PEs. Then, to link the PE and queues, use either the QMON utility or the following form of the qconf command:

# qconf -mq <queue_name>
