Installing the Software With the GUI Installer

Sun Grid Engine 6.2u2 comes with a new GUI installer to simplify the installation process. The GUI installer enables you to easily install a whole cluster interactively. To install a cluster, you need to set up the environment in a similar way to an automatic installation.

Requirements

• The GUI installer requires at least Version 5 of the Java™ platform.
• Screen resolution of 1024x768 or larger.
• (Optional) Password-less ssh or rsh access as root user to all remote hosts that you want to install. If this requirement is not met you can only install Grid Engine components on a local host. For more information, see How to Configure Password-less Access for the root User. You can still use the GUI installer by starting it locally from each remote host.

Recommendations Start the installer as root user. Ensure that you start the installation from the qmaster host when password-less root access is available.

For information on installation modes supported by the Sun Grid Engine 6.2u2 GUI installer, see these topics:
