Notes about Installation

By now you should be able to install your slave nodes and have a working system. However, you may want to do some other configuration before hand. The configuration you do is all dependent on how you would like to use your cluster. The following are some pointers to set up a cluster similar to how PAMS plans to use this software.

Sun Grid Engine

You will need to create the file /etc/USESGE to switch to the Sun Grid Engine from the default batch system (OpenPBS). You should do this before you install your slave nodes. This way the insert-ethers program will be able to do some of the configuration for SGE for you. Rocks version 2.3 had some bugs in the SGE packages so you will want to at least use Rocks 2.3.1.
