Now that the qmaster is set up and NFS is set up, I can finally set the machines up as execution hosts. I’m doing it in parallel on both machines. cd /usr/local/gridengine, sudo -s, and finally ./install_execd, and we’re on our way to another bulleted list describing lots of screens…

• Welcome Why, thank you!
• Checking directory Looks good: /usr/local/gridengine
• Cells Also good: algore
• Checking hostname resolving This worked fine out of the box on the qmaster machine, but on the PowerBook the Bonjour name wasn’t getting resolved properly. So I added an entry to /etc/hosts on astor.local: [local IP address] darwin.local. That fixed things.
• Local spool directory configuration No local spools.
• Creating local configuration Done!
• execd startup script Yes! Done!
• execution daemon startup Started up!
• Adding a queue for this host Done on both. Looks like the 2-processor G5 detected two processors, and the 1-processor PowerBook detected 1. Smarty smarty. But a problem: “unable to resolve host [‘darwin’ | ‘astor’]”…I hope this doesn’t mean everything breaks.
• The rest… is just information already shown during the other installation. I hope that name-resolution problem doesn’t bite me in the ass.

Well, it looks like everything’s done. Testing…tomorrow. Time to sleep.
