[torqueusers] wrong pbs server name

[Gus Correa]

Hi Samir

Besides Jerry's suggestion on the name resolution:

1) Make sure the server has scheduling turned on
( ... well, sometimes it is not ...):

qmgr -c 'list server scheduling' (to check, and if it is not:)

qmgr -c 'set server scheduling = True'

2) Make sure the scheduler daemon is running.
Assuming you are using the standard pbs_sched:

service pbs_sched status

If it is not running:

service pbs_sched start

If you use the maui scheduler instead, make sure pbs_sched is NOT running:

service pbs_sched stop

and the Maui scheduler is working:

service maui status (to check and if not up:)

service maui start

3) Can your nodes resolve the server name?
I.e. from a node "ping rufian.perrera.local" works?
If not, you may have to include it on /etc/hosts on each node
(assuming this YellowDog for PPC puts the hosts file there (as RHEL, 
CentOS, Fedora do)

4) Make sure your nodes are listed on the headnode
file $PBS_HOME/server_priv/nodes, and have the right 
np=number-of-processors.

5) On the nodes check also what $pbsserver you have in 
$PBS_HOME/mom_priv/config.

6) Searching for errors on the system logs may help, on the nodes and on 
the head.  Here they are on the /var/log/messages file.
Don't know about YDog.


I hope this helps,
