    NAME
         sge_conf - Grid Engine bootstrap file

    DESCRIPTION
         bootstrap  contains  parameters  that  are  needed  for  the
         startup of Grid Engine components.  It is created during the
         sge_qmaster installation.  Modifying bootstrap in a  running
         system is not supported.

    FORMAT
         The paragraphs that follow provide brief descriptions of the
         individual  parameters that compose the bootstrap configura-
         tion for a Grid Engine cluster:

      admin_user
         Administrative user account used  by  Grid  Engine  for  all
         internal  file  handling  (status spooling, message logging,
         etc.). Can be used in cases where the root account does  not
         have  the  corresponding  file access permissions (e.g. on a
         shared file system without global root read/write access).

         Being  a  parameter  set  at  installation   time   changing
         admin_user in a running system is not supported. Changing it
         manually on a shut-down cluster is possible, but  if  access
         to  the  Grid Engine spooling area is interrupted, this will
         result in unpredictable behaviour.

         The admin_user parameter has no default value,  but  instead
         it is defined during the master installation procedure.

      default_domain
         Only needed if your Grid Engine cluster covers hosts belong-
         ing to more than a single DNS domain. In this case it can be
         used if your hostname resolving yields  both  qualified  and
         unqualified  hostnames  for  the  hosts  in  one  of the DNS
         domains. The value of  default_domain  is  appended  to  the
         unqualified  hostname  to define a fully qualified hostname.
         The  default_domain  parameter  will  have  no   effect   if
         ignore_fqdn is set to "true".

         Being  a  parameter  set  at  installation   time   changing
         default_domain  in  a  running  system is not supported. The
         default for default_domain is "none", in which case it  will
         not be used.

      ignore_fqdn
         Ignore fully qualified domain name component  of  hostnames.
         Should  be set if all hosts belonging to a Grid Engine clus-
         ter are part of a single DNS domain. It is  switched  on  if
         set to either "true" or "1". Switching it on may solve prob-
         lems with load reports due to different hostname resolutions
         across the cluster.
         Being  a  parameter  set  at  installation   time   changing
         ignore_fqdn  in  a  running  system  is  not  supported. The
         default for ignore_fqdn is "true".

      spooling_method
         Defines how sge_qmaster(8) writes its configuration and  the
         status information of a running cluster.

         The available spooling methods are berkeleydb and classic.

      spooling_lib
         The name of a shared library containing the  spooling_method
         to  be  loaded  at  sge_qmaster(8) initialization time.  The
         extension characterizing a shared library (.so, .sl,  .dylib
         etc.) is not contained in spooling_lib.

         If spooling_method was set to  berkeleydb  during  installa-
         tion,  spooling_lib  is  set  to  libspoolb,  if classic was
         chosen as spooling_method, spooling_lib is set to libspoolc.

         Not all operating  systems  allow  the  dynamic  loading  of
         libraries.  On  these  platforms  a  certain spooling method
         (default: berkeleydb) is compiled into the binaries and  the
         parameter spooling_lib will be ignored.

      spooling_params
         Defines parameters to the chosen spooling method.

         Parameters that are needed to initialize the spooling frame-
         work, e.g. to open database files or to connect to a certain
         database server.

         The spooling parameters value for spooling method berkeleydb
         is        [rpc_server:]database        directory,       e.g.
         /sge_local/default/spool/qmaster/spooldb for spooling  to  a
         local filesystem, or myhost:sge for spooling over a Berkeley
         DB RPC server.

         For spooling method classic the spooling parameters take the
         form      <common_dir>;<qmaster     spool     dir>,     e.g.
         /sge/default/common;/sge/default/spool/qmaster

      binary_path
         The directory path where the Grid Engine binaries reside. It
         is  used within Grid Engine components to locate and startup
         other Grid Engine programs.

         The path name given here is searched for binaries as well as
         any  directory  below  with  a  directory  name equal to the
         current   operating    system    architecture.    Therefore,
         /usr/SGE/bin   will  work  for  all  architectures,  if  the
         corresponding binaries are located in  subdirectories  named
         aix43, cray, lx24-x86, hp11, irix65, tru64, sol-sparc, etc.

         The default location for the binary path is <sge_root>/bin

      qmaster_spool_dir
         The location where the master spool directory resides.  Only
         the sge_qmaster(8) and sge_shadowd(8) need to have access to
         this directory. The master spool directory -  in  particular
         the  job_scripts  directory  and the messages log file - may
         become quite large depending on the size of the cluster  and
         the  number  of  jobs. Be sure to allocate enough disk space
         and regularly clean off the log files, e.g.  via  a  cron(8)
         job.

         Being  a  parameter  set  at  installation   time   changing
         qmaster_spool_dir in a running system is not supported.

         The default location  for  the  master  spool  directory  is
         <sge_root>/<cell>/spool/qmaster.

      product_mode
         The product mode defines the set of features  the  installed
         cluster is using.

         Both the basic product modes sge (Grid Engine standard mode)
         and  sgeee (Grid Engine Enterprise Edition) as well as addi-
         tional features (AFS, DCE, KERBEROS, RESERVED_PORT  security
         model, CSP security model) are specified by this parameter.
