NAME

qconf - xxQS_NAMExx command to customise configuration objects and get or change the state of cluster components.

SYNTAX

qconf <options>

DESCRIPTION

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

Some <options> of qconf start up an editor indicated by the environment variable EDITOR. If such a variable is not set then as default the vi(1) editor will be started.

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.

Operations of qconf (add, modify or delete) will not have an effect on ongoing decisions of the scheduler component in xxqs_name_sxx_qmaster(8). Changes will be effective with the next scheduling cycle. The same applies for execution, configuration and queue settings which will be in effect for the next job that is started on/in the corresponding object.

Unless denoted otherwise, qconf <options> and the corresponding operations are available to all users with a valid account but some of them require root/manager privileges.

OPTIONS

-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 objects are the queue, the host, the host group, the parallel environment, the resource quota sets and the checkpointing interface configuration being specified as queue, exechost, hostgroup, pe, rqs 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 xxqs_name_sxx_types(1). Depending on the type of the obj_instance this adds to the cluster queues attribute sublist the cluster queues 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 comma 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 xxqs_name_sxx_host_conf(5)). Requires root/manager privileges.

-Aattr obj_spec fname obj_instance, ...

Adds attributes to an object.

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 enlisted in fname following the file format of the corresponding object (see xxqs_name_sxx_queue_conf(5) for the queue, for example). Requires root/manager privileges.

-acal calendar_name

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

With the calendar name given in the option argument qconf will open a temporary file and start up an editor. After entering the calendar definition and closing the editor the new calendar is checked and registered with xxqs_name_sxx_qmaster(8). Requires root/manager privileges.

-Acal fname

Adds a new calendar definition to the xxQS_NAMExx environment. Calendars are used in xxQS_NAMExx for defining availability and unavailability schedules of queues. The format of a calendar definition is described in xxqs_name_sxx_calendar_conf(5). The calendar definition is taken from the file fname. Requires root/manager privileges.

-ace ce_name

Adds a new complex entry to the complex list of the xxQS_NAMExx environment. Complex entries are used to define resources that can be requested by jobs. The different attributes define the characteristics of that resource and the way how xxQS_NAMExx should handle them. Find more information in xxqs_name_sxx_complex(5).

With the ce_name given in the option argument qconf will open a temporary file and start up an editor. After entering the resource definition and closing the editor the new complex entry is checked and registered with xxqs_name_sxx_qmaster(8). Requires root/manager privileges.

-Ace fname

Adds a new complex entry to the complex list of the xxQS_NAMExx environment. Complex entries are used to define resources that can be requested by jobs. The different attributes define the characteristics of that resource and the way how xxQS_NAMExx should handle them. Find more information in xxqs_name_sxx_complex(5).
The complex definition is taken from the file fname. Requires root/manager privileges.

-ackpt ckpt_name

Adds a checkpointing environment under the name ckpt_name to the list of checkpointing environments maintained by xxQS_NAMExx and to be usable to submit checkpointing jobs (see xxqs_name_sxx_checkpoint(5) for details on the format of a checkpointing environment definition). qconf retrieves a default checkpointing environment configuration and executes an editor to allow you to customize the checkpointing environment configuration. Upon exit from the editor, the checkpointing environment is registered with xxqs_name_sxx_qmaster(8). Requires root/manager privileges.

-Ackpt fname

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

-aconf host, ...

Successively adds configurations (see xxqs_name_sxx_conf(5)) For the hosts in the comma separated host list. For each host, an editor is invoked and the configuration for the host can be entered. The configuration is registered with xxqs_name_sxx_qmaster(8) after saving the file and quitting the editor. Requires root/manager privileges.

-Aconf fname_list

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

-ae [host_template]

Adds a host to the list of xxQS_NAMExx execution hosts. If a queue is configured on a host this host is automatically added to the xxQS_NAMExx 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 xxqs_name_sxx_qmaster(8) or a generic template otherwise. The template is then stored in a file and qconf executes an editor to change the entries in the file. The format of the execution host specification is described in xxqs_name_sxx_host_conf(5). When the changes are saved in the editor and the editor is quit them the new execution host is registered with xxqs_name_sxx_qmaster(8). Requires root/manager privileges.

-Ae fname

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

-ahgrp group

Adds a new host group with the name specified in group. This command invokes an editor that allows to make required changes. After the editor is quit the new host group entry is registered. Requires root/manager privileges.

-Ahgrp fname
