Diagnosis
The CE information system provider has safe, easily recognizable default values for various attributes that are published in the BDII. Normally those defaults are overridden by the actual values obtained from the batch system by a particular provider or plugin script. When a default value does appear in the BDII, it means the provider failed and its output, if any, was discarded. An info provider can fail for at least the following reasons:
- For Torque-Maui systems: the user running the BDII ("edguser" or "ldap") has no permission to query the Maui scheduler. On the machine running Maui check:
[root@server ~]# grep ADMIN3 /var/spool/maui/maui.cfg ADMIN3 edginfo rgma edguser ldap
- The info provider timed out. For PBS/Torque systems this can happen when there is a WN in bad shape, causing commands like "qstat" and "pbsnodes" to hang. If the WN cannot quickly be recovered (e.g. by a reboot):
- remove the WN from /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/nodes
- remove the corresponding jobs from /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/jobs
- restart the PBS/Torque daemons
- The info provider has an incomplete environment for querying the batch system. Beware that the info provider may not run under a login shell and therefore would not source files in /etc/profile.d. This is fixed for resource bdii versions >= 5.2.21, which ensure a login shell is used.
- The Torque/PBS queues have no "resources_default.walltime" configured, only "resources_max.walltime".
- In that case configure the "resources_default.walltime" where needed and beware that the problem
- may persist until all previously submitted jobs have disappeared from the batch system.
- In the latter case one may apply the following temporary patch:
# diff lcg-info-dynamic-scheduler.bak lcg-info-dynamic-scheduler
