NAME

       qconf - Sun Grid Engine Queue Configuration

SYNTAX

       qconf options

DESCRIPTION

       Qconf  allows  the  system administrator to add, delete, and modify the
       current Sun 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,...
                                     <add to object attributes>
              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  queue_conf(5)  for  the
              queue, for example).
              Requires root/manager privileges.

       -Acal fname                   <add calendar>
              Adds   a   new  calendar  definition  to  the  Sun  Grid  Engine
              environment.  Calendars are used in Sun 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/ manager privileges.

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

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

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

       -Ahgrp file                   <add host group config>
              Add the host group configuration  defined  in  file.   The  file
              format   of   file  must  comply  to  the  format  specified  in
              hostgroup(5).  Requires root or manager privileges.

       -Arqs fname <add RQS configuration>
              Add the resource quota set (RQS) defined in the file named fname
              to  the  Sun  Grid  Engine  cluster.  Requires  root  or manager
              privileges.

       -Ap fname                     <add PE configuration>
              Add the parallel environment (PE) defined in fname  to  the  Sun
              Grid Engine cluster. Requires root or manager privileges.

       -Aprj fname                   <add new project>
              Adds  the  project  description  defined in fname to the list of
              registered projects (see project(5)).  Requires root or  manager
              privileges.

       -Aq fname                     <add new queue>
              Add  the  queue defined in fname to the Sun Grid Engine cluster.
              Requires root or manager privileges.

       -Au fname                     <add an ACL>
              Add the user access list (ACL) defined  in  fname  to  Sun  Grid
              Engine.  User  lists  are  used  for queue usage authentication.
              Requires root/manager/operator privileges.

       -cb    This parameter can be used since Sun Grid Engine  version  6.2u5
              in  combination  with the command line switch -sep. In that case
              the output of the corresponding command will contain information
              about the added job to core binding functionality.

              If -cb switch is not used then -sep will behave as in GE version
              6.2u4 and below.

              Please note that this command-line switch will be  removed  from
              Sun Grid Engine with the next major release.

       -Dattr obj_spec fname obj_instance,...
                                     <del. from object attribs>
              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 enlisted in fname
              following  the  file  format  of  the  corresponding object (see
              queue_conf(5) for the queue, for example).
              Requires root/manager privileges.

       -Mattr obj_spec fname obj_instance,...
                                     <mod. object attributes>
              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  enlisted in fname following the file
              format of the corresponding object (see  queue_conf(5)  for  the
              queue, for example).
              Requires root/manager privileges.

       -Mc fname                     <modify complex>
              Overwrites  the  complex configuration by the contents of fname.
              The argument  file  must  comply  to  the  format  specified  in
              complex(5).  Requires root or manager privilege.

       -Mcal fname                   <modify calendar>
              Overwrites  the  calendar  definition as specified in fname. The
              argument  file  must  comply  to   the   format   described   in
              calendar_conf(5).  Requires root or manager privilege.

              files   enlisted   in   the   comma   separated  file_list.  The
              configuration is modified for the host that is identical to  the
              file name.
              Requires root or manager privileges.

       -Me fname                     <modify execution host>
              Overwrites  the  execution  host configuration for the specified

       -Mhgrp file                   <modify host group config.>
              Allows  changing  of  host  group  configuration  with  a single
              command.  All host group configuration entries contained in file
              will  be  applied.  Configuration  entries not contained in file
              will be deleted. The file format of  file  must  comply  to  the
              format specified in hostgroup(5).

       -Mrqs fname [mrqs_name]       <modify RQS configuration>
              Same  as  -mrqs (see below) but instead of invoking an editor 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 privilege.

       -Mp fname                     <modify PE configuration>
              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.

       -Mprj fname                   <modify project config.>
              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.

       -Mq fname                     <modify queue configuration>
              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.

       -Msconf   fname                 <modify  scheduler  configuration  from
       file>
              The  current  scheduler  configuration  (see  sched_conf(5))  is
              overridden  with  the  configuration  specified  in  the   file.
              Requires root or manager privilege.

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

       -Mu fname                     <modify ACL>
              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.

       -Muser fname                  <modify user>
              Modify the user defined in fname in the Sun 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,...
                                     <replace object attribs>
              Similar to -rattr (see below) but the  definition  of  the  list
              attributes  whose  content  is to be replace is contained in the
              file named fname. As opposed to -rattr, multiple attributes  can
              be  modified.  Their  specification  has to be enlisted 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,...
                 <add to object attributes>
              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
              sge_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 host_conf(5)).
              Requires root or manager privileges.

       -acal calendar_name           <add calendar>
              Adds   a   new  calendar  definition  to  the  Sun  Grid  Engine
              environment.  Calendars are used in Sun 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  editor  is  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.

       -ackpt ckpt_name              <add ckpt. environment>
              Adds a checkpointing environment under the name ckpt_name to the
              list of checkpointing environments maintained by Sun 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.

       -aconf host,...               <add configuration>
              Successively adds configurations (see sge_conf(5)) For the hosts
              in  the  comma  separated  file_list.   For each host, an editor
              ($EDITOR indicated 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.

       -ae [host_template]           <add execution host>
              Adds a host to the list of Sun Grid Engine execution hosts. If a
              queue is configured on a host this host is  automatically  added
              to  the  Sun  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.

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

       -ahgrp group                  <add host group config.>
              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.

       -arqs [rqs_name]              <add new RQS>
              Adds one or more Resource Quota Set (RQS) description under  the
              names rqs_name to the list of RQSs maintained by Sun Grid Engine
              (see sge_resource_quota(5) for details on the format  of  a  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).

       -k{m|s|e[j] {host,...|all}}   <shutdown Sun Grid Engine>
              Note:  The  -ks  switch  is deprecated, may be removed in future
              release.  Please use the -kt switch instead.
              Used to shutdown Sun 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.  If the keyword all
              is specified instead of an event client list, all running  event
              clients  except  special  clients  like the scheduler thread are
              terminated.  Requires root or manager privilege.

              access  list,  executes  an  editor  (either vi(1) or the editor
              indicated by the EDITOR environment variable) and registers  the
              new  configuration  with  the  sge_qmaster(8).  Requires root or
              manager privilege.

       -muser user                   <modify user>
              Data for the specific user is retrieved  (see  user(5))  and  an
              editor  (either  vi(1)  or  the  editor  indicated by the EDITOR
              environment  variable)  is  invoked  for  modifying   the   user
              definition.  Upon  exiting  the  editor,  the  modified  data is
              registered. Requires root or manager privileges.

       -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(1).
              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.

       -rattr obj_spec attr_name val obj_instance,...
                                     <replace object attributes>
              Allows  replacing  a  single  configuration  list  attribute  in
              multiple instances of an object with  a  single  command.   Find
              more  information  concerning  obj_spec  and obj_instance in the
              description of -aattr .
              Requires root or manager privilege.

              optional  comma  separated  host list argument is omitted or the
              special string global is  given,  the  global  configuration  is
              displayed.  The configuration in effect on a certain host is the
              merger of the global configuration and the host  specific  local
              configuration.  The  format of the configuration is described in
              sge_conf(5).

       -sep                          <show licensed processors>
              Note: Deprecated, may be removed in future release.

              Displays a list of virtual processors. This value is taken  from
              the  underlying  OS  and  it  depends on underlying hardware and
              operating system whether this value represents sockets, cores or
              supported threads.

              If  this  option is used in combination with -cb  parameter then
              two additional columns will be  shown  in  the  output  for  the
              number of sockets and number of cores. Currently SGE will enlist
              these values only  if  the  corresponding  operating  system  of
              execution  host  is Linux under kernel >= 2.6.16, or Solaris 10.
              Other operating systems or versions might be supported with  the
              future update releases. In case these values won't be retrieved,
              '0' character will be displayed.

       -sh                           <show administrative hosts>

       -sobjl obj_spec attr_name val <show object list>
              Shows  a list of all configuration objects for which val matches
              at least one configuration value of the  attributes  whose  name
              matches with attr_name.

              Obj_spec can be "queue" or "queue_domain" or "queue_instance" or
              "exechost".  Note: When "queue_domain"  or  "queue_instance"  is
              specified  as  obj_spec matching is only done with the attribute
              overridings concerning the host group or the execution host.  In
              this case queue domain names resp. queue instances are returned.

              Attr_name can be any of the configuration file keywords enlisted
              in queue_conf(5) or host_conf(5).  Also wildcards can be used to
              match multiple attributes.

              Val can be an arbitrary string or a wildcard expression.

              qstat(1) manual page.

ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

       SGE_ROOT       Specifies the location of the Sun Grid  Engine  standard
                      configuration files.

       SGE_CELL       If  set,  specifies the default Sun Grid Engine cell. To
                      address a Sun Grid Engine cell qconf uses (in the  order
                      of precedence):

                             The name of the cell specified in the environment
                             variable SGE_CELL, if it is set.

                             The name of the default cell, i.e. default.

       SGE_DEBUG_LEVEL
                      If set,  specifies  that  debug  information  should  be
                      written  to  stderr.  In addition the level of detail in
                      which debug information is generated is defined.

       SGE_QMASTER_PORT
                      If set, specifies the tcp port on  which  sge_qmaster(8)
                      is  expected to listen for communication requests.  Most
                      installations will use a services map entry  instead  to
                      define that port.

       SGE_EXECD_PORT If  set, specifies the tcp port on which sge_execd(8) is
                      expected to listen  for  communication  requests.   Most
                      installations  will  use a services map entry instead to
                      define that port.

       SGE_SINGLE_LINE
                      If set, indicates that long lines should not  be  broken
                      up  using  backslashes.   This  setting  is  useful  for
                      scripts which expect one entry per line.

RESTRICTIONS

       Modifications to a queue configuration do not affect an  active  queue,
       taking effect on next invocation of the queue (i.e., the next job).

FILES

       <sge_root>/<cell>/common/act_qmaster
                       Sun Grid Engine master host file
