Hi all,
We have an issue where Torque is using up a lot of ports (as expected)
to talk to the MOMs, but these are all in the range <1024. The upshot
of this is that at times, other services (we're specifically noticing
this with NFS) are unable to get hold of a port themselves, and hilarity
ensues.
Googling has yielded limited results, but it does seem that, by default,
PBS uses privileged ports so that the MOMs know that requests are coming
from a root account, using this as a form of sanity/security check.
Seeing as we could have up to ~1500 job slots available, I imagine we're
going to see issues of this type from time to time.
Has anyone out there seen this, and possibly even dealt with it? I'd
like to clear the batch system away from that port range, but haven't
yet been able to work out how to approach this. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Rob
