678 Administering Platform LSF
Authorization failure
Symptom Probable cause Solution
User receives an email notification that LSF
has placed a job in the USUSP state.
The job cannot run because the
Windows password for the job
is not registered with LSF.
The user should
◆ Register the Windows
password with LSF using the
command
lspasswd.
◆ Use the bresume command
to resume the suspended
job.
LSF displays one of the following error
messages:
◆ findHostbyAddr/<proc>: Host
<host>/<port> is unknown by
<myhostname>
◆ function:
Gethostbyaddr_(<host>/<port>)
failed: error
◆ main: Request from unknown host
<host>/<port>: error
◆ function: Received request from
non-LSF host <host>/<port>
The LSF daemon does not
recognize host as part of the
cluster. These messages can
occur if you add host to the
configuration files without
reconfiguring all LSF daemons.
Run the following commands
after adding a host to the cluster:
◆ lsadmin reconfig
◆ badmin mbdrestart
If the problem still occurs, the
host might have multiple
addresses. Match all of the host
addresses to the host name by
either:
◆ Modifying the system hosts
file (
/etc/hosts). The
changes affect all software
programs on your system.
◆ Creating an LSF hosts file
(
EGO_CONFDIR/hosts).
Only LSF resolves the
addresses to the specified
host.
◆ doacceptconn:
getpwnam(<username>@<host>/<po
rt>) failed: error
◆ doacceptconn: User <username>
has uid <uid1> on client host
<host>/<port>, uid <uid2> on
RES host; assume bad user
◆ authRequest: username/uid
<userName>/<uid>@<host>/<port>
does not exist
◆ authRequest: Submitter’s name
<clname>@<clhost> is different
from name <lname> on this host
RES assumes that a user has the
same UNIX user name and user
ID on all LSF hosts. These
messages occur if this
assumption is violated.
If the user is allowed to use LSF for
interactive remote execution,
make sure the user’s account has
the same user ID and user name
on all LSF hosts.
◆ doacceptconn: root remote
execution permission denied
◆ authRequest: root job
submission rejected
The root user tried to execute
or submit a job but
LSF_ROOT_REX is not defined
in
lsf.conf.
To allow the
root user to run jobs
on a remote host, define
LSF_ROOT_REX in lsf.conf.
