Setting up pbspro on one computer

Users/Site Administrators

Hello,

I’ve recently compiled and installed version 19 on a server. I intend to use the queue system just on this server, and have done this successfully on another independent server. However even after following the same steps I cannot get the setup quite right.

qstat -B:
Server Max Tot Que Run Hld Wat Trn Ext Status

COMPUTING-001 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Active

pbsnodes: Server has no node list

when trying to add the node COMPUTING-001 under root I get the following error:
root@COMPUTING-001:~# qmgr
Max open servers: 49
Qmgr: create node COMPUTING-001
qmgr obj=COMPUTING-001 svr=default: Unauthorized Request
qmgr: Error (15007) returned from server

I can successfully ping COMPUTING-001 without issue.

It looks like I’m having some privilege issues even when using root?

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Carl

Please share the

  1. /etc/pbs.conf
  2. hostname and hostname -f output
    3 /etc/hosts

Please refer: PBS Professional 19.2 Administrator’s Guide – AG-377

It seems PBS Pro is suspecting the qmgr is run by a user from different host(hostname).

The /etc/pbs.conf is:

PBS_SERVER=COMPUTING-001
PBS_START_SERVER=1
PBS_START_SCHED=1
PBS_START_COMM=1
PBS_START_MOM=1
PBS_EXEC=/opt/pbs
PBS_HOME=/var/spool/pbs
PBS_CORE_LIMIT=unlimited
PBS_SCP=/usr/bin/scp

hostname = COMPUTING-001
hostname -f = COMPUTING-001.cerb.private

thanks
