creating new queue using torque/PBS "access from host not allowed"

Question

I have carried out the following commands.

qmgr -c "create queue fastq queue_type=execution" 
qmgr -c "set queue fastq started=true" 
qmgr -c "set queue fastq enabled=true" 
qmgr -c "set queue fastq acl_hosts=compute-0-30" 
qmgr -c "set queue fastq acl_host_enable=true" 
qmgr -c "set queue fastq acl_users=username" 
qmgr -c "set queue fastq acl_user_enable=true"

But when I have the following header for my PBS script,

#!/bin/sh
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=8
#PBS -N job
#PBS -u username
#PBS -q fastq
#PBS -be

mpirun script

I get the following error:

host.edu > qsub runscript
qsub: Access from host not allowed, or unknown host MSG=host ACL rejected the submitting     host: user [email protected], queue fastq, host host.edu

Answer 1

If you are submitting the job from a computer that is not the torque server, you will also need to set the submit_hosts flag.

See Appendix B in the documentation:

http://docs.adaptivecomputing.com/torque/help.htm#topics/12-appendices/serverParameters.htm#submist_hosts

Take special care to use the full hostname of the machine ( the value returned from uname -n).

You should always use the fully qualified hostname as torque can be quite picky.

I would also recommend that you take a look at torque.setup inside the root directory of the tar ball. It will seed a basic configuration.

qmgr -c 'p s' 
create queue batch
set queue batch queue_type = Execution

set queue batch started = True
