Configuring General Parameters

To configure general parameters, click the General Configuration tab. The General Configuration tab is shown in Figure 2–1.

You can specify the following parameters:

• Sequence Nr. The sequence number of the queue.

• Processors. A specifier for the processor set to be used by the jobs running in that queue. For some operating system architectures, this specifier can be a range, such as 1-4,8,10, or just an integer identifier of the processor set. See the arc_depend_*.asc files in the doc directory of your N1 Grid Engine 6.1 software distribution for more information.

• tmp Directory. Temporary directory path.

• Shell. Default command interpreter to use for running the job scripts.

• Shell Start Mode. The mode in which to start the job script.

• Initial State. The state in which a newly added queue comes up. Also, the state in which a queue instance is restored if the sge_execd running on the queue instance host gets restarted.

• Rerun Jobs. The queue's default rerun policy to be enforced on jobs that were aborted, for example, due to system crashes. The user can override this policy using the qsub -r command or the Submit Job dialog box. See Extended Job Example in Sun N1 Grid Engine 6.1 User’s Guide.

• Calendar. A calendar attached to the queue. This calendar defines on-duty and off-duty times for the queue.

• Notify Time. The time to wait between delivery of SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 notification signals and suspend or kill signals.

• Job's Nice. The nice value with which to start the jobs in this queue. 0 means use the system default.

• Slots. The number of jobs that are allowed to run concurrently in the queue. Slots are also referred to as job slots.

• Type. The type of the queue and of the jobs that are allowed to run in this queue. Type can be Batch, Interactive, or both.
