Configuring General Parameters
To configure general parameters, click the General Configuration tab. The General
Configuration tab is shown in Figure 2-1.
You can specify the following parameters: Sequence Nr. The sequence number of the queue.
Processors. A specifier for the processor set to be used by the jobs
running in that queue. For some operating system architectures, this specifier can
be a range, such as 1-4,8,10, or just an integer identifier of the processor set.
See the arc_depend_*.asc files in the doc directory
of your N1 Grid Engine 6 software distribution for more information.
Caution - Do not change this value unless you are certain that you need to change
it.
tmp Directory. Temporary directory path.
Shell. Default command interpreter to use for running the job scripts.
Shell Start Mode. The mode in which to start the job script.
Initial State. The state in which a newly added queue comes up. Also,
the state in which a queue instance is restored if the sge_execd running
on the queue instance host gets restarted.
Rerun Jobs. The queue's default rerun policy to be enforced on jobs
that were aborted, for example, due to system crashes. The user can override this
policy using the qsub -r command or the Submit Job dialog box.
See "Extended
Job Example" in N1 Grid Engine 6 User's Guide.
Calendar. A calendar attached to the queue. This calendar defines on-duty and off-duty times for the queue.
Notify Time. The time to wait between delivery of SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2 notification signals and suspend or kill signals.
Job's Nice. The nice value with which to start
the jobs in this queue. 0 means use the system default.
Slots. The number of jobs that are allowed to run concurrently in
the queue. Slots are also referred to as job slots.
Type. The type of the queue and of the jobs that are allowed to run
in this queue. Type can be Batch, Interactive, or both.
See the queue_conf(5) man page for detailed information about
these parameters.
Configuring Execution Method Parameters
To configure execution method parameters, click the Execution Method tab. The
Execution Method tab is shown in the following figure.
 You can specify the following parameters: Prolog. A queue-specific prolog script.
The prolog script is run with the same environment as the job before the job script
is started.
Epilog. A queue-specific epilog script. The epilog script is run with
the same environment as the job after the job is finished.
Starter
Method, Suspend Method, Resume Method, Terminate Method. Use these fields to override
the default methods for applying these actions to jobs.
See the queue_conf(5) man page for detailed information about
these parameters.
Configuring the Checkpointing Parameters
To configure the checkpointing parameters, click the Checkpointing tab. The
Checkpointing tab is shown in the following figure.
 You can specify the following parameters:
To reference a checkpointing environment from the queue, select the name of
a checkpointing environment from the Available list, and then click the right arrow
to add it to the Referenced list.
To remove a checkpointing environment from the Referenced list, select it, and
then click the left arrow.
To add or modify checkpointing environments, click the button below the red
arrows to open the Checkpointing Configuration dialog box. For more information, see Configuring Checkpointing Environments With QMON.
See the queue_conf(5) man page for detailed information about
these parameters.
Configuring Parallel Environments
To configure parallel environments, click the Parallel Environment tab. The
Parallel Environment tab is shown in the following figure.
 You can specify the following parameter:
To reference a parallel environment from the queue, select the name of a parallel
environment from the Available PEs list, and then click the right arrow to add it
to the Referenced PEs list.
To remove a checkpointing environment from the Referenced PEs list, select it,
and then click the left arrow.
To add or modify parallel environments, click the button below the red arrows
to open the Parallel Environment Configuration dialog box. For more information, see Configuring Parallel Environments With QMON.
See the queue_conf(5) man page for detailed information about
this parameter.
Configuring Load and Suspend Thresholds
To configure load and suspend thresholds, click the Load/Suspend Thresholds
tab. The Load/Suspend Thresholds tab is shown in the following figure.
 You can specify the following parameters: The Load Thresholds and the Suspend Thresholds tables, which define
overload thresholds for load parameters and consumable resource attributes. See Complex Resource Attributes.
In the case of
load thresholds, overload prevents the queue from receiving further jobs. In the
case of suspend thresholds, overload suspends jobs in the queue in order to reduce
the load.
The tables display the currently configured thresholds.
To change an existing threshold, select it, and then double-click the corresponding
Value field.
To add new thresholds, click Load or Value. A selection
list appears with all valid attributes that are attached to the queue. The Attribute
Selection dialog box is shown in Figure 1-2.
To add an attribute to the Load column of the corresponding threshold table, select
an attribute, and then click OK.
To delete an existing threshold, select
it, and then type Control-D or click mouse button 3. You are prompted to confirm that
you want to delete the selection.
Suspend interval. The time interval between suspension of other jobs
in case the suspend thresholds are still exceeded.
Jobs suspended per interval. The number of jobs to suspend per time
interval in order to reduce the load on the system that is hosting the configured
queue.
See the queue_conf(5) man page for detailed information about
these parameters.
