[StarCluster] Unable to launch cluster: SGE master install failures

[Lyn Gerner]

Hi All,

I am trying to launch a 3-node cluster (using 0.94.3), and keep getting an
error during SGE install on the master, which blows the install of it and
the remaining nodes out of the water.

My starcluster config file specifies disable_queue = true and then invokes
the sge plugin with MASTER_IS_EXEC_HOST = False, so all it needs to do is
install and bring up qmaster.

The qmaster does come up, however, the cluster start keeps timing out with
the following:

>>> Installing Sun Grid Engine...
!!! ERROR - Error occured while running plugin 'sge':
!!! ERROR - remote command 'source /etc/profile && cd /opt/sge6 &&
!!! ERROR - TERM=rxvt ./inst_sge -m -noremote -auto ./ec2_sge.conf'
!!! ERROR - failed with status 1:
!!! ERROR - Reading configuration from file ./ec2_sge.conf
!!! ERROR - [H[2JInstall log can be found in: /opt/sge6/default/common/i
!!! ERROR - nstall_logs/qmaster_install_master_2014-01-22_21:55:08.log

In the install log, it's waiting for the SGE qmaster pid file to show up,
times out after 5mins, and tells me to check my autoinstall config file.

Here are the ps output, and the installation log.

It's this same error on every attempt, and I am using an unmodified
ec2_sge.conf file.

Appreciate any suggestions for how to get over this.

Thanks much,
Lyn
