It is *extremely* common for all SGE nodes in a cluster to be both admin
and submit hosts. <br>
<br>
The reason for making every node a submit host is that there are cluster
workflows that often include jobs running on a node that either do new
job submissions directly or else alter things like hold_jid or the
parameters of a job array.<br>
<br>
For small clusters that are persistant, the CLI command is "qconf -as
<hostname>" to add a submit host.<br>
<br>
Starcluster uses an SGE autoinstallation template file (I think ...) to
automate the process of cluster building. Within this template file
there is a parameter where you can list out your Admin and Submit hosts.<br>
<br>
I imagine it would be pretty simple to customize or override the default
StarCluster autoinstallation file so that all your nodes become submit
host.<br>
<br>
And if that is too complicated it's pretty trivial to iterate over the
hostnames and run the "qconf -as" command ...<br>
<br>
My $.02 of course!<br>
