I've done this a couple of times by now, and I always forget one step or another. Most of the information is on http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/setting-up-sun-grid-engine-with-three.html but here it is in a briefer form:
In the example I've used krypton as the node name, and 192.168.1.180 as the IP.
My front node is called beryllium and has an IP of 192.168.1.1.
0. On the front node
Add the new node name to the front node/queue master
Add execution host
which opens a text file in vim
Edited hostname (krypton) but nothing else. Saving returns
1. Edit /etc/hosts on the node
Leave
Throw in
2. Install SGE on node
You'll be asked about
I maintain separate queues and groups depending on how many cores each node has. See e.g. http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/setting-up-sun-grid-engine-with-three.html for how to create queues and groups.
If they already exits, just do
to add the new node.
4. Add pe to queue if necessary
Since I have different queues depending on the number of cores of a node, I tend to have to fiddle with this.
See e.g. http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/setting-up-sun-grid-engine-with-three.html for how to create pe:s.
If the pe you need is already created, you can do
and edit pe_list
5. Check
On the front node, do

Add execution host
qconf -ae
which opens a text file in vim
Edited hostname (krypton) but nothing else. Saving returns
Add krypton as a submit host
added host krypton to exec host list
qconf -as kryptonDoing this before touching the node makes life a little bit easier.
krypton added to submit host list
1. Edit /etc/hosts on the node
Leave
but remove
127.0.0.1 localhost
and make sure that it says
127.0.1.1 krypton
instead.
192.168.1.180 krypton
Throw in
as well.
192.168.1.1 beryllium
2. Install SGE on node
sudo apt-get install gridengine-exec gridengine-client

3. Add node to queue and group
Configure automatically: yes
Cell name: rupert
Master hostname: beryllium
I maintain separate queues and groups depending on how many cores each node has. See e.g. http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/06/setting-up-sun-grid-engine-with-three.html for how to create queues and groups.
If they already exits, just do
qconf -aattr hostgroup hostlist krypton @fourcores
qconf -aattr queue slots "[krypton=4]" fourcores.q
to add the new node.
