DESCRIPTION
       bootstrap  contains parameters that are needed for the startup of Univa
       Grid Engine components.  It is created during the sge_qmaster installa-
       tion.  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 configuration for  a  Univa  Grid
       Engine cluster:

   admin_user
       Administrative  user account used by Univa 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 Univa Grid Engine spooling
       area is interrupted, this will result in unpredictable behavior.

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

   default_domain
       Only needed if your Univa Grid Engine cluster covers hosts belonging 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 host-
       name.  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 Univa Grid Engine cluster are part of a
       single  DNS  domain.  It is switched on if set to either "true" or "1".
       Switching it on may solve problems 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.
       these platforms a certain spooling method (default: berkeleydb) is com-
       piled 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  framework,  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/qmas-
       ter/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 <com-
       mon_dir>;<qmaster      spool      dir>,     e.g.      /sge/default/com-
       mon;/sge/default/spool/qmaster

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

       The path name given here is searched for binaries as well as any direc-
       tory  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, lx-amd64, lx-x86, hp11, hp11-64, sol-amd64, 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 direc-
       tory.  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.


   security_mode
       The security mode defines the set of security  features  the  installed
       cluster is using.

   jvm_threads
       The  number  of JVM threads (allowed: 0-1, default set by installation,
       off: 0).
