[torqueusers] Problems with qmgr

No. It is the other way round. The external IP address ('wilma':172.20.*) is
associated with eth1 and the internal IP address ('head': 172.16.*) is
associated with eth0.

The 'pbsnodes -a' command gives me reasonable output:
==========
[root at wilma ~]# pbsnodes -a
head
     state = free
     np = 8
     ntype = cluster
     status = opsys=linux,uname=Linux wilma 2.6.9-55.ELlargesmp #1 SMP Wed
...
...
==========

I tried to change the SERVERHOST variable in maui.cfg to 'head', but then
the maui service wouldn't start:

==========
[root at wilma ~]# service maui start
Starting maui: ERROR:    server must be started on host 'head' (currently on
'wilma.<snipped>')
                                                           [FAILED]
==========


I still get errors when I try to use 'head' in the qmgr commands:
----------------------
Qmgr: set server tcp_timeout=5
qmgr obj= svr=default: Unauthorized Request
Qmgr: set head tcp_timeout=5
qmgr: Illegal object type: head.
Qmgr: set server head tcp_timeout=5
qmgr obj=head svr=head: Unauthorized Request
---------------------


But using 'wilma' seems to work:
---------------------
Qmgr: set server wilma tcp_timeout=5
Qmgr: list server
<snipped>
Server wilma
        server_state = Active
        scheduling = True
        <snipped>
        tcp_timeout = 5
        pbs_version = 2.1.2
...
...
Qmgr: create queue mtm at wilma
Qmgr: list queue
Queue mtm
        total_jobs = 0
        state_count = Transit:0 Queued:0 Held:0 Waiting:0 Running:0
Exiting:0 
        mtime = Tue Aug 28 11:04:45 2007
---------------------

So I restarted maui by resetting SERVERHOST to 'wilma'. It started without
errors.

But once I quit 'qmgr', the queue information is not saved. I set active the
default 'batch' queue, but my qsub based job wouldn't run. When I went back
into qmgr, no active queues are displayed. There does not seem to be a
'save' option for 'qmgr'.
