Hello,

I've recently installed the lsfsce10.2.0.12 package, but I'm unable to locate the license file. Whenever I attempt to run lsf on my cluster, I encounter an error message stating, "lsf.entitlement not found."

Could you please assist me in understanding where to install this file or advise on the necessary steps to take?

Best regards,

According to quick start guide, LSF CE is fully licensed with limitation on cluster size and certain features, so I guess it doesn't need an entitlement file.

What command you run to get error "lsf.entitlement not found"?  Also check lsf.conf file to make sure no parameter set with "lsf.entitlement"

My problem is:

The IBM Spectrum LSF service fails to start. The systemctl status and logs for the lsfd service indicate a failure due to a timeout, accompanied by errors related to the GLIBC version compatibility for /lib64/libnsl.so.1.

Error Messages:

The service fails with a timeout error during startup attempts. Specific error logs mention that the GLIBC version GLIBC_2.2.5, required by /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/res and /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/sbatchd, is not found.

Could you give me advice on how to safely update GLIBC to a version that supports GLIBC_2.2.5 without affecting other system components or services? Alternatively, advice on installing and configuring compatibility libraries for libnsl to meet the requirements of the LSF components.

Hello,

When I execute `$LSF_SERVERDIR/res -V`, I receive a notification indicating that the binary type is Linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64. However, attempting to initiate the LSF results in an error message:

The service encounters a timeout error during startup attempts. Detailed error logs indicate the absence of the required GLIBC version GLIBC_2.2.5 for /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/res and /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/sbatchd.

Could you offer guidance on updating GLIBC to a version compatible with GLIBC_2.2.5 in a manner that doesn't disrupt other system components or services? Alternatively, could you provide recommendations on installing and setting up compatibility libraries for libnsl to fulfill the LSF components' requirements?

What command you run to get error "lsf.entitlement not found"?  Also check lsf.conf file to make sure no parameter set with "lsf.entitlement"

Hello,

I've recently installed the lsfsce10.2.0.12 package, but I'm unable to locate the license file. Whenever I attempt to run lsf on my cluster, I encounter an error message stating, "lsf.entitlement not found."

Could you please assist me in understanding where to install this file or advise on the necessary steps to take?

It is PATH setting not correct. You must source LSF profile (. profile.lsf or source cshrc.lsf) to get LSF_SERVERDIR env variable set correctly, lsf_daemons script is located in LSF_SERVERDIR directory (make sure lsf_daemons file has execution permission set correctly).

When I execute sh -x $LSF_SERVERDIR/lsf_daemons start , I receive this: 

Try running sh -x $LSF_SERVERDIR/lsf_daemons start directly see if you get any error. "203/EXEC" is the status set by systemd and could be caused by various reasons and it is hard to pinpoint what is going wrong now. 

Can you explain what the error code 203/EXEC means and how to resolve it please?

Thank you!!

Hello, 

The directory where the LSF daemon binaries (e.g. res) are located is usually not in the path. So you'll need to run $LSF_SERVERDIR/res -V after sourcing profile.lsf / cshrc.lsf. 

I have confirmed that the libnsl.so file is installed on all my nodes as Robert instructed, but I am still facing the same issue. Additionally, when I attempt to run the command "res -V", I receive an error that reads "bash: res: command not found".

For glibc issue, If you run "res -V", do you get any error? After resolving libnsl.so concern as indicated by Robert, do you still have problem with glibc?

My problem is:

The IBM Spectrum LSF service fails to start. The systemctl status and logs for the lsfd service indicate a failure due to a timeout, accompanied by errors related to the GLIBC version compatibility for /lib64/libnsl.so.1.

Error Messages:

The service fails with a timeout error during startup attempts. Specific error logs mention that the GLIBC version GLIBC_2.2.5, required by /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/res and /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/sbatchd, is not found.

Could you give me advice on how to safely update GLIBC to a version that supports GLIBC_2.2.5 without affecting other system components or services? Alternatively, advice on installing and configuring compatibility libraries for libnsl to meet the requirements of the LSF components.

Enclosed, you will find the command that was executed, along with the error message shown in the screenshot below. Furthermore, the lsf.conf file is attached to this message.

Thank you in advance for your reply and your assistance.

According to quick start guide, LSF CE is fully licensed with limitation on cluster size and certain features, so I guess it doesn't need an entitlement file.

What command you run to get error "lsf.entitlement not found"?  Also check lsf.conf file to make sure no parameter set with "lsf.entitlement"

Hello,

I've recently installed the lsfsce10.2.0.12 package, but I'm unable to locate the license file. Whenever I attempt to run lsf on my cluster, I encounter an error message stating, "lsf.entitlement not found."

Could you please assist me in understanding where to install this file or advise on the necessary steps to take?

Best regards,

Roy AL NABBOUT

I got a bit time today to try LSF CE. It works on RHEL8.8. My suggestion is to comment out following lines in hostsetup script, then run hostsetup again.

My cluster name is lsfcefp12
My master name is syirhel881.fyre.ibm.com

In fact, I'm starting LSF services on the master host instead of remotely, but I still face the same issue and am unable to resolve it. Could you please help me solve this problem?

for rsh error, if you start LSF services on remote hosts, LSF performs remote login first. This requests to use rsh/ssh/pdsh, etc. for root user password less logon (which you should set it properly for your system).

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-lsf/10.1.0?topic=lsfconf-lsf-rsh

I set `LSF_EGO_DAEMON_CONTROL=N` in `lsf.conf`, and now my LSF daemons are starting, but I continue to face the same error when executing the `lsfd.services`.

For now you can set LSF_EGO_DAEMON_CONTROL=N in lsf.conf just try not to make the environment too complicated. From your previous message, I can see the cluster is working by manually start LSF services.

when i try  to startup the lsf , i always have the same probleme every time :

Here is info for default LSF installation directory structure, https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-lsf/10.1.0?topic=linux-example-installation-directory-structure.

After you source LSF profile, LSF_ENVDIR is set to LSF_TOP/conf, LSF_SEVERDIR is set to LSF_TOP/10.1/<os_type>/etc, LSF_BINDIR is set to LSF_TOP/10.1/<os_type>/bin, and LSF_LIBDIR is set to LSF_TOP/10.1/<os_type>/lib. In your case <os_type> is linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64

It is PATH setting not correct. You must source LSF profile (. profile.lsf or source cshrc.lsf) to get LSF_SERVERDIR env variable set correctly, lsf_daemons script is located in LSF_SERVERDIR directory (make sure lsf_daemons file has execution permission set correctly).

When I execute sh -x $LSF_SERVERDIR/lsf_daemons start , I receive this: 

Try running sh -x $LSF_SERVERDIR/lsf_daemons start directly see if you get any error. "203/EXEC" is the status set by systemd and could be caused by various reasons and it is hard to pinpoint what is going wrong now. 

Can you explain what the error code 203/EXEC means and how to resolve it please?

Thank you!!

Hello, 

The directory where the LSF daemon binaries (e.g. res) are located is usually not in the path. So you'll need to run $LSF_SERVERDIR/res -V after sourcing profile.lsf / cshrc.lsf. 

I have confirmed that the libnsl.so file is installed on all my nodes as Robert instructed, but I am still facing the same issue. Additionally, when I attempt to run the command "res -V", I receive an error that reads "bash: res: command not found".

For glibc issue, If you run "res -V", do you get any error? After resolving libnsl.so concern as indicated by Robert, do you still have problem with glibc?

My problem is:

The IBM Spectrum LSF service fails to start. The systemctl status and logs for the lsfd service indicate a failure due to a timeout, accompanied by errors related to the GLIBC version compatibility for /lib64/libnsl.so.1.

Error Messages:

The service fails with a timeout error during startup attempts. Specific error logs mention that the GLIBC version GLIBC_2.2.5, required by /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/res and /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/sbatchd, is not found.

Could you give me advice on how to safely update GLIBC to a version that supports GLIBC_2.2.5 without affecting other system components or services? Alternatively, advice on installing and configuring compatibility libraries for libnsl to meet the requirements of the LSF components.

Info: My servers are running on Red Hat 8.

You will need to source LSF profile first. e.g. ". LSF_TOP_DIRECTORY/conf/profile.lsf". 

Always i have this error message when i try to run this command.

You can ignore this error. Use lsadmin/badmin commands you should be able to bring up LSF services, and then run LSF commands successfully.

I did as you instructed, but now it's telling me that "host 57 not defined". However, when I run "lsid", it shows that it recognizes it, and it's also correctly defined in the file lsf.cluster.cluster1.

Do you use host name pattern in lsf.cluster file? Maybe attach your cluster file here to take a look.

I did as you instructed, but now it's telling me that "host 57 not defined". However, when I run "lsid", it shows that it recognizes it, and it's also correctly defined in the file lsf.cluster.cluster1.

My cluster name is lsfcefp12
My master name is syirhel881.fyre.ibm.com

In fact, I'm starting LSF services on the master host instead of remotely, but I still face the same issue and am unable to resolve it. Could you please help me solve this problem?

for rsh error, if you start LSF services on remote hosts, LSF performs remote login first. This requests to use rsh/ssh/pdsh, etc. for root user password less logon (which you should set it properly for your system).

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-lsf/10.1.0?topic=lsfconf-lsf-rsh

I set `LSF_EGO_DAEMON_CONTROL=N` in `lsf.conf`, and now my LSF daemons are starting, but I continue to face the same error when executing the `lsfd.services`.

For now you can set LSF_EGO_DAEMON_CONTROL=N in lsf.conf just try not to make the environment too complicated. From your previous message, I can see the cluster is working by manually start LSF services.

when i try  to startup the lsf , i always have the same probleme every time :

Here is info for default LSF installation directory structure, https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-lsf/10.1.0?topic=linux-example-installation-directory-structure.

After you source LSF profile, LSF_ENVDIR is set to LSF_TOP/conf, LSF_SEVERDIR is set to LSF_TOP/10.1/<os_type>/etc, LSF_BINDIR is set to LSF_TOP/10.1/<os_type>/bin, and LSF_LIBDIR is set to LSF_TOP/10.1/<os_type>/lib. In your case <os_type> is linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64

It is PATH setting not correct. You must source LSF profile (. profile.lsf or source cshrc.lsf) to get LSF_SERVERDIR env variable set correctly, lsf_daemons script is located in LSF_SERVERDIR directory (make sure lsf_daemons file has execution permission set correctly).

When I execute sh -x $LSF_SERVERDIR/lsf_daemons start , I receive this: 

Try running sh -x $LSF_SERVERDIR/lsf_daemons start directly see if you get any error. "203/EXEC" is the status set by systemd and could be caused by various reasons and it is hard to pinpoint what is going wrong now. 

Can you explain what the error code 203/EXEC means and how to resolve it please?

Thank you!!

Hello, 

The directory where the LSF daemon binaries (e.g. res) are located is usually not in the path. So you'll need to run $LSF_SERVERDIR/res -V after sourcing profile.lsf / cshrc.lsf. 

I have confirmed that the libnsl.so file is installed on all my nodes as Robert instructed, but I am still facing the same issue. Additionally, when I attempt to run the command "res -V", I receive an error that reads "bash: res: command not found".

For glibc issue, If you run "res -V", do you get any error? After resolving libnsl.so concern as indicated by Robert, do you still have problem with glibc?

My problem is:

The IBM Spectrum LSF service fails to start. The systemctl status and logs for the lsfd service indicate a failure due to a timeout, accompanied by errors related to the GLIBC version compatibility for /lib64/libnsl.so.1.

Error Messages:

The service fails with a timeout error during startup attempts. Specific error logs mention that the GLIBC version GLIBC_2.2.5, required by /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/res and /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/sbatchd, is not found.

Could you give me advice on how to safely update GLIBC to a version that supports GLIBC_2.2.5 without affecting other system components or services? Alternatively, advice on installing and configuring compatibility libraries for libnsl to meet the requirements of the LSF components.

Info: My servers are running on Red Hat 8.

You will need to source LSF profile first. e.g. ". LSF_TOP_DIRECTORY/conf/profile.lsf". 

Always i have this error message when i try to run this command.

You can ignore this error. Use lsadmin/badmin commands you should be able to bring up LSF services, and then run LSF commands successfully.

Hello,

Enclosed, you will find the command that was executed, along with the error message shown in the screenshot below. Furthermore, the lsf.conf file is attached to this message.

Thank you in advance for your reply and your assistance.

According to quick start guide, LSF CE is fully licensed with limitation on cluster size and certain features, so I guess it doesn't need an entitlement file.

What command you run to get error "lsf.entitlement not found"?  Also check lsf.conf file to make sure no parameter set with "lsf.entitlement"

Hello,

I've recently installed the lsfsce10.2.0.12 package, but I'm unable to locate the license file. Whenever I attempt to run lsf on my cluster, I encounter an error message stating, "lsf.entitlement not found."

Could you please assist me in understanding where to install this file or advise on the necessary steps to take?

Best regards,

Roy AL NABBOUT

Do you use host name pattern in lsf.cluster file? Maybe attach your cluster file here to take a look.

I did as you instructed, but now it's telling me that "host 57 not defined". However, when I run "lsid", it shows that it recognizes it, and it's also correctly defined in the file lsf.cluster.cluster1.

I got a bit time today to try LSF CE. It works on RHEL8.8. My suggestion is to comment out following lines in hostsetup script, then run hostsetup again.

My cluster name is lsfcefp12
My master name is syirhel881.fyre.ibm.com

In fact, I'm starting LSF services on the master host instead of remotely, but I still face the same issue and am unable to resolve it. Could you please help me solve this problem?

for rsh error, if you start LSF services on remote hosts, LSF performs remote login first. This requests to use rsh/ssh/pdsh, etc. for root user password less logon (which you should set it properly for your system).

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-lsf/10.1.0?topic=lsfconf-lsf-rsh

I set `LSF_EGO_DAEMON_CONTROL=N` in `lsf.conf`, and now my LSF daemons are starting, but I continue to face the same error when executing the `lsfd.services`.

For now you can set LSF_EGO_DAEMON_CONTROL=N in lsf.conf just try not to make the environment too complicated. From your previous message, I can see the cluster is working by manually start LSF services.

when i try  to startup the lsf , i always have the same probleme every time :

Here is info for default LSF installation directory structure, https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-lsf/10.1.0?topic=linux-example-installation-directory-structure.

After you source LSF profile, LSF_ENVDIR is set to LSF_TOP/conf, LSF_SEVERDIR is set to LSF_TOP/10.1/<os_type>/etc, LSF_BINDIR is set to LSF_TOP/10.1/<os_type>/bin, and LSF_LIBDIR is set to LSF_TOP/10.1/<os_type>/lib. In your case <os_type> is linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64

It is PATH setting not correct. You must source LSF profile (. profile.lsf or source cshrc.lsf) to get LSF_SERVERDIR env variable set correctly, lsf_daemons script is located in LSF_SERVERDIR directory (make sure lsf_daemons file has execution permission set correctly).

When I execute sh -x $LSF_SERVERDIR/lsf_daemons start , I receive this: 

Try running sh -x $LSF_SERVERDIR/lsf_daemons start directly see if you get any error. "203/EXEC" is the status set by systemd and could be caused by various reasons and it is hard to pinpoint what is going wrong now. 

Can you explain what the error code 203/EXEC means and how to resolve it please?

Thank you!!

Hello, 

The directory where the LSF daemon binaries (e.g. res) are located is usually not in the path. So you'll need to run $LSF_SERVERDIR/res -V after sourcing profile.lsf / cshrc.lsf. 

I have confirmed that the libnsl.so file is installed on all my nodes as Robert instructed, but I am still facing the same issue. Additionally, when I attempt to run the command "res -V", I receive an error that reads "bash: res: command not found".

For glibc issue, If you run "res -V", do you get any error? After resolving libnsl.so concern as indicated by Robert, do you still have problem with glibc?

My problem is:

The IBM Spectrum LSF service fails to start. The systemctl status and logs for the lsfd service indicate a failure due to a timeout, accompanied by errors related to the GLIBC version compatibility for /lib64/libnsl.so.1.

Error Messages:

The service fails with a timeout error during startup attempts. Specific error logs mention that the GLIBC version GLIBC_2.2.5, required by /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/res and /nfsdata/10.1/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/etc/sbatchd, is not found.

Could you give me advice on how to safely update GLIBC to a version that supports GLIBC_2.2.5 without affecting other system components or services? Alternatively, advice on installing and configuring compatibility libraries for libnsl to meet the requirements of the LSF components.

Info: My servers are running on Red Hat 8.

You will need to source LSF profile first. e.g. ". LSF_TOP_DIRECTORY/conf/profile.lsf". 

Always i have this error message when i try to run this command.

You can ignore this error. Use lsadmin/badmin commands you should be able to bring up LSF services, and then run LSF commands successfully.

Hello,

Enclosed, you will find the command that was executed, along with the error message shown in the screenshot below. Furthermore, the lsf.conf file is attached to this message.

Thank you in advance for your reply and your assistance.

According to quick start guide, LSF CE is fully licensed with limitation on cluster size and certain features, so I guess it doesn't need an entitlement file.

What command you run to get error "lsf.entitlement not found"?  Also check lsf.conf file to make sure no parameter set with "lsf.entitlement"

Hello,

I've recently installed the lsfsce10.2.0.12 package, but I'm unable to locate the license file. Whenever I attempt to run lsf on my cluster, I encounter an error message stating, "lsf.entitlement not found."

Could you please assist me in understanding where to install this file or advise on the necessary steps to take?

Best regards,

Roy AL NABBOUT

This more looks like host name resolution issue. Try following.

• change host58.secure-ic.adds to host58 in lsf.cluster file
• create a file "hosts" under LSF_TOP/conf with following entries (or you can add them in /etc/hosts on host57 and host58)

          <ip> host57 host57.secure-ic.adds

          <ip> host58 host58.secure-ic.adds

• restart LSF services on host57 and host58

Everything works on host57, but on host58, I have a problem where when I run `bhosts`, it tells me user permission denied.

Do you use host name pattern in lsf.cluster file? Maybe attach your cluster file here to take a look.

I did as you instructed, but now it's telling me that "host 57 not defined". However, when I run "lsid", it shows that it recognizes it, and it's also correctly defined in the file lsf.cluster.cluster1.

I got a bit time today to try LSF CE. It works on RHEL8.8. My suggestion is to comment out following lines in hostsetup script, then run hostsetup again.

#get_lsf_edition "$LSF_ENTITLEMENT_FILE"
#if [ "$?" != "0" -a "$LSF_OFFERING" != "COMMUNITY" -a "$LSF_OFFERING" != "WORKGROUP" -a "$LSF_OFFERING" != "HPS" -a "$LSF_OFFERING" != "VARIANT" ]; then
#E   LSF_EDITION="Unknown"
#fi
