Common LSF Problems

host name and IP address to the loopback address. Any client requests will get the
master LIM address as 127.0.0.1, and try to connect to it, and in fact will try to
access itself.
1 Check the IP configuration of your master LIM in /etc/hosts. The following
example incorrectly sets the master LIM IP address to the loopback address:
127.0.0.1 localhost myhostname
The following example correctly sets the master LIM IP address:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.123.123 myhostname
For a master LIM running on a host that uses an IPv6 address, the loopback
address is
::1
The following example correctly sets the master LIM IP address using an IPv6
address:
::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
fe00::0 ipv6-localnet
ff00::0 ipv6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ipv6-allnodes
ff02::2 ipv6-allrouters
ff02::3 ipv6-allhosts
RES does not start
1 Check the RES error log.
User permission denied
If remote execution fails with the following error message, the remote host could
not securely determine the user ID of the user requesting remote execution.
User permission denied.
1 Check the RES error log on the remote host; this usually contains a more
detailed error message.
2 If you are not using an identification daemon (LSF_AUTH is not defined in the
lsf.conf file), then all applications that do remote executions must be owned
by root with the
setuid bit set. This can be done as follows.
chmod 4755 filename
3 If the binaries are on an NFS-mounted file system, make sure that the file
system is not mounted with the
nosuid flag.
