Ed Dale has a great article showing how he uses a subversion (“SVN”) repository in conjunction with the SGE-supplied ‘save_sge_config.sh’ script to provide versioning and rollback capabilities for a Grid Engine installation.
The full writeup is here, well worth a read.

Ed’s work is a perfect companion to this recent mailing list thread where we discussed the need for comments and log messages that accompany SGE queue instance disablement and other state changes. The end result of that is renewed focus on the following open SGE enhancement requests:
- http://gridengine.sunsource.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1539
- http://gridengine.sunsource.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2179
- http://gridengine.sunsource.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3161
If you agree with the above RFE requests, please use your collabnet votes to express your opinions.
