[Beowulf] SGE + LAM

I have been trying to do an SGE6+LAM7 integration, but no luck so far.

After a long conversation to LAM mailing list, I still don't know
whether the problem is from my setting, LAM, SGE, or SGE+LAM, but some
people pointed out an error about the rsh/rshd from SGE didn't work
properly.

I am not getting any useful SGE log, here is some log generated by the
sge-lam script:

This is 'sge-lam start'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lamboot agent timed out while waiting for the newly-booted process
to call back and indicated that it had successfully booted.

As far as LAM could tell, the remote process started properly, but
then never called back.  Possible reasons that this may happen:

        - There are network filters between the lamboot agent host and
          the remote host such that communication on random TCP ports
          is blocked
        - Network routing from the remote host to the local host isn't
          properly configured (this is uncommon)

You can check these things by watching the output from "lamboot -d".

1. On the command line for hboot, there are two important parameters:
   one is the IP address of where the lamboot agent was invoked, the
   other is the port number that the lamboot agent is expecting the
   newly-booted process to call back on (this will be a random
   integer).

2. Manually login to the remote machine and try to telnet to the port
   indicated on the hboot command line.  For example, 
       telnet <ipnumber> <portnumber>
   If all goes well, you should get a "Connection refused" error.  If
   you get any other kind of error, it could indicate either of the
   two conditions above.  Consult with your system/network
   administrator.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
n0<24778> ssi:boot:base:server: failed to connect to remote lamd!
n0<24778> ssi:boot:base:server: closing server socket
n0<24778> ssi:boot:base:linear: aborted!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
lamboot encountered some error (see above) during the boot process,
and will now attempt to kill all nodes that it was previously able to
boot (if any).

Please wait for LAM to finish; if you interrupt this process, you may
have LAM daemons still running on remote nodes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
lamboot did NOT complete successfully

The last line above is the line people think it's qrsh/rsh/rshd related.

### INSTALL DIRECTIONS:
#
#  1. Install this PERL executable, sge-lam inside the LAM bin dir. 
#     Make sure it is executable.
#  2. Modify the following variables: LAMHOME below to fit your site setup. 
#

$LAMHOME="/usr";

#  3. Create an SGE PE that can be used to submit lam jobs. The following 
#     is an example assuming the scripts exist in /usr/local/lam/bin. 
#     You should replace the queue_list and slots with your site specific 
#     values or set it to "all" to use all the queues.  
#
#        % qconf -sp lammpi 
#        pe_name lammpi
#        queue_list all
#        slots 6
#        user_lists NONE
#        xuser_lists NONE
#        start_proc_args /usr/local/lam/bin/sge-lam start
#        stop_proc_args /usr/local/lam/bin/sge-lam stop
#        allocation_rule $fill_up
#        control_slaves TRUE
#        job_is_first_task FALSE
#
#    NOTE: It is probably easiest to use the qmon GUI to create the PE.
#
#   4. Add a new LAM node process schema into the $LAMHOME/etc area
#      named sge-lam-conf.lamd. This should be a single line that
#      adds the "sge-lam qrsh-local" prefix to the lamd startup.
#
#       % cat /usr/local/lam/etc/sge-lam-conf.lamd
#       /usr/local/lam/bin/sge-lam qrsh-local /usr/local/lam/bin/lamd  
#         $inet_topo $debug $session_prefix $session_suffix
#
#### Submitting SGE JOBS
#
#   Once this is setup users can submit jobs as normal and should not need to 
#   lamboot on their own. Users need only call mpirun for their MPI programs. 
#   Here is an example job:
#
#        % cat lamjob.csh
#        #$ -cwd
#        set path=(/usr/local/lam/bin $path)
#        echo "Starting my LAM MPI job"
#        mpirun C conn-60
#        echo "LAM MPI job done"
#
