creating new queue using torque/PBS "access from host not allowed" - pbs

Question

I have carried out the following commands.
qmgr -c "create queue fastq queue_type=execution"
qmgr -c "set queue fastq started=true"
qmgr -c "set queue fastq enabled=true"
qmgr -c "set queue fastq acl_hosts=compute-0-30"
qmgr -c "set queue fastq acl_host_enable=true"
qmgr -c "set queue fastq acl_users=username"
qmgr -c "set queue fastq acl_user_enable=true"
But when I have the following header for my PBS script,
#!/bin/sh
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=8
#PBS -N job
#PBS -u username
#PBS -q fastq
#PBS -be
mpirun script
I get the following error:
host.edu > qsub runscript
qsub: Access from host not allowed, or unknown host MSG=host ACL rejected the submitting host: user username#email.com, queue fastq, host host.edu

Answer 1

If you are submitting the job from a computer that is not the torque server, you will also need to set the submit_hosts flag.
See Appendix B in the documentation:
http://docs.adaptivecomputing.com/torque/help.htm#topics/12-appendices/serverParameters.htm#submist_hosts
Take special care to use the full hostname of the machine ( the value returned from uname -n).
You should always use the fully qualified hostname as torque can be quite picky.
I would also recommend that you take a look at torque.setup inside the root directory of the tar ball. It will seed a basic configuration.
qmgr -c 'p s'
