Dear Support,

I am in the process of installing a LCG2.6.0  CE_torque and WN_torque on a 
cluster machine running Rocks 3.3.0 (Makalu).
The native torque is 1.0.1p6-1 and is packed in a different way (single rpm 
containing everything: pbs and mom server, and mom and other clients (cli and 
gui) and was working fine.

I first installed the LCG2.6.0 "manually" (using diverses solution pure rpm, 
yum, apt). Run the yaim configure  (for dteam VO). Queue system was created 
properly and I could submit globus jobs to the
lcg queue (dteam). I added manually with qmgr a "non-default" default queue 
which worked fine.

Now I wanted to use the yaim install and the meta rpms for nodes that contain 
nothing else than dependencies. I had to remove the native torque and get 
installed the 1.0.1p6-11.SL30X.st version which is packed in several rpms.

On CE_torque:
torque-1.0.1p6-11.SL30X.st
torque-resmom-1.0.1p6-11.SL30X.st
torque-server-1.0.1p6-11.SL30X.st
torque-clients-1.0.1p6-11.SL30X.st
torque-devel-1.0.1p6-11.SL30X.st
lcg-CE_torque-2.6.0-sl3

on WN_torque:
torque-clients-1.0.1p6-11.SL30X.st
torque-1.0.1p6-11.SL30X.st
lcg-WN_torque-2.6.0-sl3
torque-resmom-1.0.1p6-11.SL30X.st

I noticed that configuration files are not in the same place (/opt/torque/ for 
native torque vs /var/spool/pbs/ for sl30x) and rerun yaim configuration for 
both CE and WN and restarted maui, pbs_server, pbs_mom on CE and pbs_mom on WN.
That's where I get into trouble! It seems that jobs get queued but for some 
reason never execute. They stay in the 'Q' state forever.
% qsub -q default test-pbs.sh
1037.grid.bccs.uib.no
% qstat -a
grid.bccs.uib.no:
                                                             Req'd  Req'd
Elap
Job ID          Username Queue    Jobname    SessID NDS TSK Memory Time  S Time
--------------- -------- -------- ---------- ------ --- --- ------ ----- - -----
1037.grid.bccs. patrickg default  test-pbs.s    --   --  --    --  48:00 Q   --

The same happen if I submit a globus job
% globus-job-run grid.bccs.uib.no:2119/jobmanager-lcgpbs -queue dteam 
/bin/hostname
% qstat -a
grid.bccs.uib.no:
                                                             Req'd  Req'd Elap
Job ID          Username Queue    Jobname    SessID NDS TSK Memory Time  S Time
--------------- -------- -------- ---------- ------ --- --- ------ ----- - -----
1038.grid.bccs. dteam001 dteam    STDIN         --    1  --    --  48:00 Q   --


Running pbsnodes, I get such output
compute-0-0.local
      state = state-unknown,down
      np = 2
      properties = lcgpro
      ntype = cluster


Looking at the pbs_mom log (in /var/spool/pbs/mom_logs), it seems it is first 
reading the config file from the WM (/var/spool/pbs/mom_priv/config)
$clienthost grid.bccs.uib.no
$clienthost grid.local
$clienthost localhost
$clienthost localhost.localdomain
$restricted grid.bccs.uib.no
$restricted grid.local
$logevent 511
$ideal_load 1.6
$max_load 2.1
$usecp grid.bccs.uib.no:/home /home

pbs_mom;Svr;Log;Log opened
pbs_mom;Svr;restricted;grid.bccs.uib.no
[snip]
pbs_mom;Svr;usecp;grid.bccs.uib.no:/home /home
pbs_mom;n/a;initialize;independent
pbs_mom;Svr;pbs_mom;Is up

and then many lines with the same message:
pbs_mom;Svr;pbs_mom;im_eof, End of File from addr 129.177.120.153:15001

In the pbs_server log (in /var/spool/pbs/server_logs), there are lines:

Type disconnect request received from [log in to unmask], sock=9
Type statusqueue request received from [log in to unmask], sock=9
Type statusjob request received from [log in to unmask], sock=9

On the working node pbs_mom log there are many lines (about every three 
minutes)
Premature end of message from addr 129.177.120.153:15001

The maui run is 3.2.6p11-2_SL30X
% rpm -qa|grep maui
maui-server-3.2.6p11-2_SL30X
maui-3.2.6p11-2_SL30X
maui-client-3.2.6p11-2_SL30X
and I can see in /var/log/maui.log on CE there are lines like
INFO:     PBS node compute-0-0.local set to state Down (state-unknown,down)
INFO:     0 PBS resources detected on RM base
WARNING:  no resources detected

There seems to a problem of communication between CE and WN.
Does the torque expect communication through something different than ssh/scp? 
The Rocks torque works with ssh and rshd is disabled.
Could it be the problem?

Also there seems to be some problem with packaging

% rpm -qa | grep ^torque | xargs rpm -qV
S.5....T c /etc/sysconfig/pbs
..?.....   /usr/sbin/pbs_mom
..?.....   /usr/sbin/pbs_server
missing    /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/accounting
missing    /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/acl_groups
missing    /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/acl_hosts
missing    /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/acl_svr
missing    /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/acl_users
missing    /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/jobs
missing    /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/queues
S.5....T c /var/spool/pbs/server_name

even though
% rpm -qf /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/acl_svr
torque-server-1.0.1p6-11.SL30X.st

Do you any idea what is going wrong?

I found at Steve Staylen's site (http://hepunx.rl.ac.uk/~traylens) newer 
versions of torque rpms for sl3 (2.0.0p1-2.sl3.st) than the one provided by
CERN but still with same packaging.

Are these test rpms? Can they be used for LCG production? Do you think it 
will solve my problem?

Any help is appreciated

Sincerely,

Patrick
