Unable to view output files when we submit job on compute node form master

zainul1114 · July 18, 2020, 12:25pm

Hi Team,
Please guide me to resolve this issue. I am using 19.1.1 CE and i have two nodes(Master -pbs server, node01- pbsnode)
I am able to run jobs on master and get the output file.
when i submit job on node01 using pbsdata user from master, i am getting job is ‘E’ status

[pbsdata@master ~]$ qsub -l select=1:ncpus=1:mem=100mb:host=master -- /usr/bin/echo helloworld

Dear Zain,

it seems that the -t option in the scp command causes such problems. Provided that you can ssh passwordless between the master and node01 you may also try to add the line

PBS_SCP=/bin/scp

in /etc/pbs.conf on the master host.

Hope this solves your problem

Dear Gunter,

I have already added pbs_scp=/bin/scp on my master node and compute node.
below are the details

Master:

cat /etc/pbs.conf

PBS_EXEC=/share/apps/platform/pbs
PBS_HOME=/var/spool/pbs
PBS_SERVER=master
PBS_START_SERVER=1
PBS_START_SCHED=1
PBS_START_COMM=1
PBS_START_MOM=1
PBS_CORE_LIMIT=unlimited
PBS_SCP=/bin/scp
PBS_RCP=/bin/false
PBS_SCP=/usr/bin/scp
PBS_RSHCOMMAND=/usr/bin/ssh

Node01:

cat /etc/pbs.conf

PBS_EXEC=/opt/pbs
PBS_HOME=/var/spool/pbs
PBS_SERVER=master
PBS_START_SERVER=0
PBS_START_SCHED=0
PBS_START_COMM=0
PBS_START_MOM=1
PBS_CORE_LIMIT=unlimited
PBS_SCP=/bin/scp
PBS_RCP=/bin/false
PBS_SCP=/usr/bin/scp
PBS_RSHCOMMAND=/usr/bin/ssh

Please let me know need any changes … so that we can able to resolve this problem.

Regards,
Zain

Dear Zain,

I still think that the -t option somehow causes the problem, the corresponding

command is given in your mom log file, i.e.

scp -v -r -p -t /home/pbsdata/STDIN.o18

To verify I performed the following in any directory on a PBS server

touch test.txt

scp -v -r -p -t test.txt /home/bachlerg

scp: ambiguous target

scp -v -r -p test.txt /home/bachlerg

Executing: cp -r -p – test.txt /home/bachlerg

The question arises why PBS is using the -t option to return the o-file into the

job directory ?

Hope you find somebody who can explain that

Br

Hi,

this is from pbspro ce 19.1.1 version specific or any scp/ssh related versions causing this “ambiguus target”. can’t we remove “t” option from related config file.

Else this is from password-less connection between pbsdata@master and pbsdata@node01 (here i have created pbsdata user at Master and node01 nodes)

Please guide me on this.

Regards,
Zain

zain, could you please create a wrapper script /usr/bin/scp.sh and use this wrapper script in the /etc/pbs.conf against PBS_SCP=/usr/bin/scp.sh and restart the pbs services

scp.sh will filter out the arguments that is not required and pass only your customised arguments

#!/bin/bash
#This scp.sh file is saved in /usr/bin/scp.sh
#in the /etc/pbs.conf of PBS Server and PBS Moms
#update this line PBS_SCP=/usr/bin/scp.sh
#restart the PBS Services on server node and compute node

for i in “$@”
do

if [ “$i” != “-t” ]
then
cmd+=$i" "
fi
done
echo “/usr/bin/scp $cmd”
/usr/bin/scp $cmd

Hope this works for you
