Sun Gridengine has been removed from debian jessie (it's in wheezy and sid). This has given me a good excuse to explore setting up SLURM on my debian cluster. So I did: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2015/07/617-slurm-on-debian-jessie-and.html
My setup is very simple, with each node having it's own working directory that they export via NFS to the main node. Also, I never run jobs across several nodes. Because of that, each node has it's own queue. Not how beowulf clusters were supposed to work, but it's the best solution for me (e.g. ROCKS does the opposite -- exports the user dir from the main node, but that makes reading and writing slow where it counts i.e. on the work nodes).
I've currently got this slurm.conf:
and sinfo returnsControlMachine=beryllium ControlAddr=192.168.1.1 MpiDefault=none ProctrackType=proctrack/pgid ReturnToService=2 SlurmctldPidFile=/var/run/slurm-llnl/slurmctld.pid SlurmdPidFile=/var/run/slurm-llnl/slurmd.pid SlurmdSpoolDir=/var/lib/slurm/slurmd SlurmUser=slurm StateSaveLocation=/var/lib/slurm/slurmctld SwitchType=switch/none TaskPlugin=task/none FastSchedule=1 SchedulerType=sched/backfill SelectType=select/linear AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/filetxt AccountingStorageLoc=/var/log/slurm/accounting ClusterName=rupert JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/none SlurmctldLogFile=/var/log/slurm/slurmctld.log SlurmdLogFile=/var/log/slurm/slurmd.log NodeName=beryllium NodeAddr=192.168.1.1 NodeName=neon NodeAddr=192.168.1.120 state=unknown NodeName=tantalum NodeAddr=192.168.1.150 state=unknown NodeName=magnesium NodeAddr=192.168.1.200 state=unknown NodeName=carbon NodeAddr=192.168.1.190 state=unknown NodeName=oxygen NodeAddr=192.168.1.180 state=unknown PartitionName=All Nodes=neon,beryllium,tantalum,oxygen,magnesium,carbon default=yes maxtime=infinite state=up PartitionName=mpi4 Nodes=tantalum maxtime=infinite state=up PartitionName=mpi12 Nodes=carbon maxtime=infinite state=up PartitionName=mpi8 Nodes=neon maxtime=infinite state=up PartitionName=mpix8 Nodes=oxygen maxtime=infinite state=up PartitionName=mpix12 Nodes=magnesium maxtime=infinite state=up PartitionName=mpi1 Nodes=beryllium maxtime=infinite state=up

The first step was to figure out what files to edit:
grep -rs "qsub"apps/siteconfig/QueueManagers:SGE|submitCommand: qsub ##script##grep -rs "SGE"apps/scripts/eccejobmonitor: &MsgSendUp("SGE job id '$id' in state '$state'"); [..] apps/siteconfig/Queues:magnesium|queueMgrName: SGE
Here are the files I edited:
apps/siteconfig/QueueManagers:

Next set up a new machine (or queue) using ecce -admin. Set up a queue -- you won't be able to select Slurm, so select e.g. PBS. Edit the apps/siteconfig/CONFIG.machinename file to e.g.
Next, edit apps/siteconfig/Queues -- in my case the machine I created is called neon-slurm:1 NWChem: /opt/nwchem/Nwchem/bin/LINUX64/nwchem 2 Gaussian-03: /opt/gaussian/g09d/g09/g09 3 perlPath: /usr/bin/ 4 qmgrPath: /usr/bin/ 5 xappsPath: /usr/bin/ 6 7 Slurm { 8 #!/bin/csh 9 #SBATCH -p mpi8 10 #SBATCH --time=$walltime 11 #SBATCH --output=slurm.out 12 #SBATCH --job-name=$submitFile 13 } 14 15 NWChemEnvironment { 16 PYTHONPATH /opt/nwchem/Nwchem/contrib/python 17 } 18 19 NWChemFilesToRemove{ core *.aoints.* *.gridpts.* } 20 21 NWChemCommand { 22 setenv PATH "/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin" 23 setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/usr/lib/openmpi/lib:/opt/openblas/lib:/opt/acml/acml5.3.1/gfortran64_fma4_int64/lib:/opt/acml/acml5.3.1/gfortran64_int64/lib:/opt/intel/mkl/lib/intel64" 24 hostname 25 mpirun -n $totalprocs /opt/nwchem/Nwchem/bin/LINUX64/nwchem $infile > $outfile 26 } 27 28 Gaussian-03FilesToRemove{ core *.rwf } 29 30 Gaussian-03Command{ 31 set path = ( /opt/nbo6/bin $path ) 32 setenv GAUSS_SCRDIR /home/me/scratch 33 setenv GAUSS_EXEDIR /opt/gaussian/g09d/g09/bsd:/opt/gaussian/g09d/g09/local:/opt/gaussian/g09d/g09/extras:/opt/gaussian/g09d/g09 34 /opt/gaussian/g09d/g09/g09< $infile > $outfile 35 echo 0 36 } 37 38 Wrapup{ 39 dmesg|tail 40 find ~/scratch/* -name "*" -user me|xargs -I {} rm {} -rf 41 }
And that's all. You should now be able to submit jobs via slurm. There's obviously a lot more than can be done and configured with SLURM, but this was enough to get me up and running, so that I'm now 'future-proofed' in case SGE never comes back into debian stable.neon-slurm|queueMgrName: Slurm neon-slurm|queueMgrVersion: 2.0~ neon-slurm|prefFile: neon-slurm.Q
And here's what it looks like when my ecce-submitted jobs are running:
