Hello all,
like announced in July [1] the default arch of SGE will switch soon from solaris to *. Originally that should happen at 1. October, but I forgot the re-announce it and I'm sure some of you forgot about it too. So the switch is hereby announced for
9. October, 20:00 UTC.
Jobs that are executed after this timestamp and has no arch-option will run on any host (linux or solaris) instead of a solaris-host.
There are 4 ways for you to prepare (sorted): -Make sure that you program runs on linux AND solaris, add "arch=*". -Make sure that you program runs only on linux, add "arch=lx". -Make sure that you program runs only on solaris, add "arch=sol". -Do nothing, pray and see things break. (Somehow I have the feeling most of you will choose 4…, please make me wrong).
Sincerely, DaB.

The switch was done around 20:05 UTC successfully. Shortly after we discovered that our SGE-master was down and only the shadow- master (that some sort of last-backup) was working. To fix this we needed ~2 hours and for some minutes the SGE was down completely – so if some jobs of yours didn't start between 20:05 and 21:47 UTC that's my fault, but SGE should fully work now.
Sincerely, DaB.
