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 > [@Carl.Hughes](#): > > qmgr obj=COMPUTING-001 svr=default: Unauthorized Request > qmgr: Error (15007) returned from server Please refer: PBS Professional 19.2 Administrator’s Guide – **AG-377** > **[High-performance Computing (HPC) and Cloud Solutions | Altair](https://altair.com/hpc-cloud-applications)** > > Altair’s industry leading HPC tools, solutions & applications let you orchestrate, visualize, optimize, and analyse your most demanding workloads, easily migrating to the cloud and eliminating I/O bottlenecks.

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 ---

Just changes the hosts file to include the .cerb.private and it works now thanks! ---
