HPC Developer Preview Release on Solaris Express build 88 or above:
Issue: The Sun Grid Engine GUI interface, qmon, takes a long time to come up and at times won't come up at all. The reason for this an issue in Solaris Express build 88. The bug id is CR 6707259. The reason for the issue is that build SNV88 and later have a bad path hard-coded into RUNPATH of many libraries.
Solution: There is no workaround for this problem, other than to try with earlier builds.
Sun Grid Engine software installation issue on OpenSolaris machines with DHCP configuration:
Issue: The installation of the Sun Grid Engine software fails on hosts running OpenSolaris with DHCP client configurations. The failure is due to fact that the machine's hostname resolves to localhost.
Solution: The workaround for this problem is to have a fixed IP address for the machine. Alternatively, alias an IP address onto your interface, add that IP to /etc/hosts as some other host name, then set the machine to that hostname before installing Sun Grid Engine.
