Getting Started with NYSGrid
Site Requirements:

There are some minimal requirements to add a cluster to NYSGrid.
If you have any questions or comments please contact Jon
Bednasz (jbednasz@ccr.buffalo.edu) for assistance. They are below:

  • Resource Manager/Scheduler functional
  • 5 Gig of space in /opt/grid for OSG install (name/mountpoint can vary)
  • 5 Gig of space in /grid-tmp for OSG data (name/mountpoint can vary)
  • Ability to add users to cluster
  • Ability to adjust firewalls if needed

The OSG software stack is supported on a limited set of operating
systems. The OSG software stack only gets installed on the gatekeeper
node, so it is not a requirement to have your entire cluster with a
supported Operating System, only the gate-keeper node. The supported
operating systems for OSG 0.8.0 are listed at:
