NAME

qconf - Grid Engine Queue Configuration

SYNTAX

qconf options

DESCRIPTION

Qconf allows the system administrator to add, delete, and modify the current Grid Engine configuration, including queue management, host management, complex management and user management. Qconf also allows you to examine the current queue configuration for existing queues.

Qconf allows the use of the backslash, ’\’, character at the end of a line to indicate that the next line is a continuation of the current line. When displaying settings, such as the output of one of the -s* options, qconf will break up long lines (lines greater than 80 characters) into smaller lines using backslash line continuation where possible. Lines will only be broken up at commas or whitespace. This feature can be disabled by setting the SGE_SINGLE_LINE environment variable.

OPTIONS

Unless denoted otherwise, the following options and the corresponding operations are available to all users with a valid account.
-Aattr obj_spec fname obj_instance,...

Similar to -aattr (see below) but takes specifications for the object attributes to be enhanced from file named fname. As opposed to -aattr, multiple attributes can be enhanced. Their specification has to be listed in fname following the file format of the corresponding object (see queue_conf(5) for the queue, for example).
Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds a new calendar definition to the Grid Engine environment. Calendars are used in Grid Engine for defining availability and unavailability schedules of queues. The format of a calendar definition is described in calendar_conf(5).

The calendar definition is taken from the file fname. Requires root or manager privileges.

Add the checkpointing environment as defined in fname (see checkpoint(5)) to the list of supported checkpointing environments. Requires root or manager privileges.

Add the configurations (see sge_conf(5)) specified in the files in the comma-separated fname_list. The configuration is added for the host that is identical to the file name.
Requires root or manager privileges.

Add the execution host defined in fname to the Grid Engine cluster. The format of the execution host specification is described in host_conf(5). Requires root or manager privileges.

Add the host group configuration defined in file. The file format of fname must comply with the format specified in hostgroup(5). Requires root or manager privileges.

Add the resource quota set (RQS) defined in the file named fname to the Grid Engine cluster. Requires root or manager privileges.

Add the parallel environment (PE) defined in fname to the Grid Engine cluster. Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds the project description defined in fname to the list of registered projects (see project(5)). Requires root or manager privileges.

Add the queue defined in fname to the Grid Engine cluster. Requires root or manager privileges.

Add the user access list (ACL) defined in file fname to Grid Engine. User lists are used for queue usage authentication. Requires root, manager, or operator privileges. The file format of fname must comply with the format specified in access_list(5).

-Dattr obj_spec fname obj_instance,...

Similar to -dattr (see below) but the definition of the list attributes from which entries are to be deleted is contained in the file named fname. As opposed to -dattr, multiple attributes can be modified. Their specification has to be listed in fname following the file format of the corresponding object (see queue_conf(5) for the queue, for example).
Requires root or manager privileges.

-Mattr obj_spec fname obj_instance,...

Similar to -mattr (see below) but takes specifications for the object attributes to be modified from file named fname. As opposed to -mattr, multiple attributes can be modified. Their specification has to be listed in fname following the file format of the corresponding object (see queue_conf(5) for the queue, for example).
Requires root or manager privileges.

Overwrites the complex configuration with the contents of fname. The argument file must comply with the format specified in complex(5). Requires root or manager privileges.

Overwrites the calendar definition as specified in fname. The argument file must comply with the format described in calendar_conf(5). Requires root or manager privileges.

Overwrite an existing checkpointing environment with the definitions in fname (see checkpoint(5)). The name attribute in fname has to match an existing checkpointing environment. Requires root or manager privileges.

Modify the configurations (see sge_conf(5)) specified in the files in the comma-separated fname_list. The configuration is modified for the host that is identical to the file name.
Requires root or manager privileges.

Overwrites the execution host configuration for the specified host with the contents of fname, which must comply with the format defined in host_conf(5). Requires root or manager privilege.

Allows changing the host group configuration with a single command. All host group configuration entries contained in fname will be applied. Configuration entries not contained in fname will be deleted. The file format of fname must comply to the format specified in hostgroup(5). Requires root or manager privileges.

Same as -mrqs (see below) but instead of invoking an editor to modify the RQS configuration, the file fname is considered to contain a changed configuration. The name of the rule set in fname must be the same as rqs_name. If rqs_name is not set, all rule sets are overwritten by the rule sets in fname Refer to sge_resource_quota(5) for details on the RQS configuration format. Requires root or manager privileges.

Same as -mp (see below) but instead of invoking an editor to modify the PE configuration the file fname is considered to contain a changed configuration. Refer to sge_pe(5) for details on the PE configuration format. Requires root or manager privilege.

Same as -mprj (see below) but instead of invoking an editor to modify the project configuration the file fname is considered to contain a changed configuration. Refer to project(5) for details on the project configuration format. Requires root or manager privilege.

Same as -mq (see below) but instead of invoking an editor to modify the queue configuration the file fname is considered to contain a changed configuration. Refer to queue_conf(5) for details on the queue configuration format. Requires root or manager privilege.

fname>

The current scheduler configuration (see sched_conf(5)) is overridden with the configuration specified in the file. Requires root or manager privilege.

Modifies the definition of the share tree (see share_tree(5)). The modified sharetree is read from file fname. Requires root or manager privileges.

Takes the user access list (ACL) defined in fname to overwrite any existing ACL with the same name. See access_list(5) for information on the ACL configuration format. Requires root or manager privilege.

Modify the user defined in fname in the Grid Engine cluster. The format of the user specification is described in user(5). Requires root or manager privileges.

-Rattr obj_spec fname obj_instance,...

Similar to -rattr (see below) but the definition of the list attributes whose content is to be replaced is contained in the file named fname. As opposed to -rattr, multiple attributes can be modified. Their specification has to be listed in fname following the file format of the corresponding object (see queue_conf(5) for the queue, for example).
Requires root/manager privileges.

-aattr obj_spec attr_name val obj_instance,...

Allows adding specifications to a single configuration list attribute in multiple instances of an object with a single command. Currently supported object types are queues, hosts, host groups, parallel environments, resource quota sets, users, projects, calendars, and checkpointing interface configurations, specified respectively as queue, exechost, hostgroup, pe, resource_quota, user, project, calender, userset, or ckpt in obj_spec. For the obj_spec queue the obj_instance can be a cluster queue name, a queue domain name or a queue instance name. Find more information concerning different queue names in sge_types(5). Depending on the type of the obj_instance, this adds to the cluster queues attribute sublist the cluster queue’s implicit default configuration value or the queue domain configuration value or queue instance configuration value. The queue load_thresholds parameter is an example of a list attribute. With the -aattr option, entries can be added to such lists, while they can be deleted with -dattr, modified with -mattr, and replaced with -rattr.
For the obj_spec rqs the obj_instance is a unique identifier for a specific rule. The identifier consists of a rule-set name and either the number of the rule in the list, or the name of the rule, separated by a "/".
The name of the configuration attribute to be enhanced is specified with attr_name followed by val as a name=value pair. The space-separated list of object instances (e.g., the list of queues) to which the changes have to be applied are specified at the end of the command.
The following restriction applies: For the exechost object the load_values attribute cannot be modified (see host_conf(5)).
Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds a new calendar definition to the Grid Engine environment. Calendars are used in Grid Engine for defining availability and unavailability schedules of queues. The format of a calendar definition is described in calendar_conf(5).

With the calendar name given in the option argument, qconf will open a temporary file and start up the text editor indicated by the environment variable EDITOR (default vi(1) if EDITOR is not set). After entering the calendar definition and closing the editor the new calendar is checked and registered with sge_qmaster(8). Requires root/manager privileges.

Adds a checkpointing environment under the name ckpt_name to the list of checkpointing environments maintained by Grid Engine and to be usable to submit checkpointing jobs (see checkpoint(5) for details on the format of a checkpointing environment definition). Qconf retrieves a default checkpointing environment configuration and executes vi(1) (or $EDITOR if the EDITOR environment variable is set) to allow you to customize the checkpointing environment configuration. Upon exit from the editor, the checkpointing environment is registered with sge_qmaster(8). Requires root/manager privileges.

Successively adds configurations (see sge_conf(5)) For the hosts in the comma-separated host list. For each host, an editor ($EDITOR, if defined, or vi(1)) is invoked and the configuration for the host can be entered. The configuration is registered with sge_qmaster(8) after saving the file and quitting the editor.
Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds a host to the list of Grid Engine execution hosts. If a queue is configured on a host this host is automatically added to the Grid Engine execution host list. Adding execution hosts explicitly offers the advantage to be able to specify parameters like load scale values with the registration of the execution host. However, these parameters can be modified (from their defaults) at any later time via the -me option described below.
If the host_template argument is present, qconf retrieves the configuration of the specified execution host from sge_qmaster(8) or a generic template otherwise. The template is then stored in a file and qconf executes vi(1) (or the editor indicated by $EDITOR if the EDITOR environment variable is set) to change the entries in the file. The format of the execution host specification is described in host_conf(5). When the changes are saved in the editor and the editor is quit the new execution host is registered with sge_qmaster(8). Requires root/manager privileges.

Adds hosts hostname to the Grid Engine trusted host list (a host must be in this list to execute administrative Grid Engine commands, the sole exception to this being the execution of qconf on the sge_qmaster(8) node). The default Grid Engine installation procedures usually add all designated execution hosts (see the -ae option above) to the Grid Engine trusted host list automatically. Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds a new host group with the name specified in group. This command invokes an editor (either vi(1) or the editor indicated by the EDITOR environment variable). The new host group entry is registered after changing the entry and exiting the editor. Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds one or more Resource Quota Set (RQS) description under the names rqs_name to the list of RQSs maintained by Grid Engine. (See sge_resource_quota(5) for details on the format of an RQS definition.) Qconf retrieves a default RQS configuration and executes vi(1) (or $EDITOR if the EDITOR environment variable is set) to allow you to customize the RQS configuration. Upon exit from the editor, the RQS is registered with sge_qmaster(8). Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds the indicated users to the Grid Engine manager list. Requires root or manager privileges.
Managers have full access to the Grid Engine configuration and operational features. Superusers on administration hosts have manager privileges by default.

Adds the indicated users to the Grid Engine operator list. Requires root or manager privileges.
Operators have the same privileges as managers except that they cannot make configuration changes.

Adds a Parallel Environment (PE) description under the name pe_name to the list of PEs maintained by Grid Engine and to be usable to submit parallel jobs (see sge_pe(5) for details on the format of a PE definition). Qconf retrieves a default PE configuration and executes vi(1) (or $EDITOR if the EDITOR environment variable is set) to allow you to customize the PE configuration. Upon exit from the editor, the PE is registered with sge_qmaster(8). Requires root/manager privileges.

-at thread_name <activates thread in master>

Activates an additional thread in the master process. thread_name can be either "scheduler" or "jvm". The corresponding thread is only started when it is not already running. There may be only one scheduler and only one JVM thread in the master process at the same time.

Adds a project description to the list of registered projects (see project(5)). Qconf retrieves a template project configuration and executes vi(1) (or $EDITOR if the EDITOR environment variable is set) to allow you to customize the new project. Upon exit from the editor, the template is registered with sge_qmaster(8). Requires root or manager privileges.

Qconf retrieves the default queue configuration (see queue_conf(5)) and executes vi(1) (or $EDITOR if the EDITOR environment variable is set) to allow you to customize the queue configuration. Upon exit from the editor, the queue is registered with sge_qmaster(8). A minimal configuration requires only that the queue name and queue hostlist be set. Requires root or manager privileges.

Add hosts hostname to the list of hosts allowed to submit Grid Engine jobs and control their behavior only. Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds the specified share tree node(s) to the share tree (see share_tree(5)). The node_path is a hierarchical path ([/]node_name[[/.]node_name...]) specifying the location of the new node in the share tree. The base name of the node_path is the name of the new node. The node is initialized to the number of specified shares. Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds the definition of a share tree to the system (see share_tree(5)). A template share tree is retrieved and an editor (either vi(1) or the editor indicated by $EDITOR) is invoked for modifying the share tree definition. Upon exiting the editor, the modification is registered with sge_qmaster(8). Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds the definition of a share tree to the system (see share_tree(5)) from the file fname. Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds users to Grid Engine user access lists (ACLs). User lists are used for queue usage authentication. Requires root/manager/operator privileges.
Users can submit jobs and run them if they have access to a submit host and and execution host, but cannot affect the Grid Engine configuration or operation (other than altering or deleting their own jobs).

Add the user defined in fname to the Grid Engine cluster. The format of the user specification is described in user(5). Requires root or manager privileges.

Adds a user to the list of registered users (see user(5)). This command invokes an editor (either vi(1) or the editor indicated by the EDITOR environment variable) for a template user. The new user is registered after changing the entry and exiting the editor. Requires root or manager privileges.

Shows a textual tree layout of the share tree analogous to the graphical view in qmon(1). -sstree shows the same information in a less-readable (linearized) form.

Clears usage from the sharetree, either just for user_list or for all users and projects if user_list isn’t supplied. All specified usage will be set to zero.

Cleans queue of jobs which haven’t been reaped. (Actually purges jobs remaining on the queue.) Primarily a development tool. Requires root/manager/operator privileges. Find a description of wc_queue_list in sge_types(5).

-k{m|s|e[j] {host,...|all}} <shutdown Grid Engine>

Note: The -ks switch is deprecated and may be removed in future release. Please use the -kt switch instead.
Used to shutdown Grid Engine components (daemons). In the form -km sge_qmaster(8) is forced to terminate in a controlled fashion. In the same way the -ks switch causes termination of the scheduler thread. Shutdown of running sge_execd(8) processes currently registered is initiated by the -ke option. If -kej is specified instead, all jobs running on the execution hosts are aborted prior to termination of the corresponding sge_execd(8). The comma-separated host list specifies the execution hosts to be addressed by the -ke and -kej option. If the keyword all is specified instead of a host list, all running sge_execd(8) processes are shutdown. Job abortion, initiated by the -kej option will result in dr state for all running jobs until sge_execd(8) is running again.
Requires root or manager privileges.

-kt thread_name <terminate master thread>

Terminates a thread in the master process. Currently it is only supported to shutdown the "scheduler" and the "jvm" thread. The command will only be successful if the corresponding thread is running.

-kec {id,...|all} <kill event client>

Used to shutdown event clients registered at sge_qmaster(8). The comma-separated event client list specifies the event clients to be addressed by the -kec option.

-purge queue attr_nm,... obj_spec

<purge divergent attribute settings>
Delete the values of the attributes defined in attr_nm from the object defined in obj_spec. obj_spec can be "queue_instance" or "queue_domain". The names of the attributes are described in queue_conf(5).
This operation only works on a single queue instance or domain. It cannot be used on a cluster queue. In the case where the obj_spec is "queue@@hostgroup", the attribute values defined in attr_nm which are set for the indicated hostgroup are deleted, but not those which are set for the hosts contained by that hostgroup. If the attr_nm is ’*’, all attribute values set for the given queue instance or domain are deleted.
The main difference between -dattr and -purge is that -dattr removes a value from a single list attribute, whereas -purge removes one or more overriding attribute settings from a cluster queue configuration. With -purge, the entire attribute is deleted for the given queue instance or queue domain.
