Hi Szabolcs,
we run exactly this configuration in Munich.
Both at MPPMU and LRZ.
We just tried to use the 64bit WN tarball but faced problems with VO
specific code, ATLAS jobs failed. The SAM tests were ok though.
I'm sorry to say that we took the easy option and reverted to the 32bit
tarball and now things seem better. It was just a few days ago so we need
to test some more.
There is a small comunity of SGE users within egee
Some info can be found in the following links:
http://www.lesc.ic.ac.uk/projects/SGE-LCG.html
http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/wiki/LCG-on-SGE
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/ImplementationOfSGE
https://edms.cern.ch/document/858737/
and there's an sge mailing list (but I've forgotten it, sorry - i'll
dig in my mails and see if I can pull it out)
Also VO wise I know at least ATLAS posts info about 64/32 bit
compatability issues
https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/Atlas/RPMcompatSLC4
it's worth having a look at this. If you support ATLAS.
I'm not sure if other VO provide similar info.
I hope that helps as a start, we're willing to help more if you do chose
to follow this path. I can honestly say it's doable since we already do it
but I can also say that it can be a little painful at times.
Anyway I'm sure there's others out there who'll help too :-)
bon weekend
cheers
