Administering Sun Grid Engine

As a Sun Grid Engine administrator, you need to perform the following tasks:

  • Add or remove Grid Engine hosts
  • Configure hosts and queues
  • Manage user access
  • Monitor Sun Grid Engine to ensure it is functioning as you need it to function
  • Perform general maintenance tasks
  • Perform special tasks, such as setting up parallel jobs

Administration Tools

To perform these tasks, you can use either of the following mechanisms:

  • A graphical user interface, QMON
  • A command-line interface, mainly centered on the use of the following commands:
    • qconf — Add, delete, and modify the current Grid Engine configuration
    • qhost — View current status of the available Grid Engine hosts, the queues, and the jobs associated with the queues
    • qalter and qsub — Submit jobs
    • qstat — Show the status of Grid Engine jobs and queues
    • qquota — List each resource quota that is being used at least once or that defines a static limit

For general information about these administration tools, see Interacting With Sun Grid Engine.
