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.

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

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

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 modify the RQS configuration, the
file fname is considered 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.

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). Requires root or manager privileges.
-am user,... <add managers>
Adds the indicated users to the Sun Grid Engine manager list. Requires root or manager privileges.
-ao user,... <add operators>
Adds the indicated users to the Sun Grid Engine operator list. Requires root or manager
privileges.
-ap pe_name <add new PE>
Adds a Parallel Environment (PE) description under the name pe_name to the list of PEs maintained
by Sun Grid Engine and to be usable to submit parallel jobs (see sge_pe(5) for details on the
format of a PE definition). Qconf retrieves a default PE configuration and executes vi(1) (or
$EDITOR if the EDITOR environment variable is set) to allow you to customize the PE configuration.
Upon exit from the editor, the PE is registered with sge_qmaster(8). Requires root/manager
privileges.
-at thread_name <activates thread in master>
Activates an additional thread in the master process. thread_name might be either "scheduler" or
"jvm". The corresponding thread is only started when it is not already running. There might be
only one scheduler and only one jvm thread in the master process at the same time.
-aprj <add new project>
Adds a project description to the list of registered projects (see project(5)). Qconf retrieves a
template project configuration and executes vi(1) (or $EDITOR if the EDITOR environment variable
is set) to allow you to customize the new project. Upon exit from the editor, the template is
registered with sge_qmaster(8). Requires root or manager privileges.
-aq [queue_name] <add new queue>
Qconf retrieves the default queue configuration (see queue_conf(5)) and executes vi(1) (or $EDITOR
if the EDITOR environment variable is set) to allow you to customize the queue configuration. Upon
exit from the editor, the queue is registered with sge_qmaster(8). A minimal configuration
requires only that the queue name and queue hostlist be set. Requires root or manager privileges.
-as hostname,... <add submit hosts>
Add hosts hostname to the list of hosts allowed to submit Sun Grid Engine jobs and control their
behavior only. Requires root or manager privileges.
-astnode node_path=shares,... <add share tree node>

hierarchical path ([/]node_name[[/.]node_name...]) specifying the location of the new node in the
share tree. The base name of the node_path is the name of the new node. The node is initialized
to the number of specified shares. Requires root or manager privileges.
-astree <add share tree>
Adds the definition of a share tree to the system (see share_tree(5)). A template share tree is
retrieved and an editor (either vi(1) or the editor indicated by $EDITOR) is invoked for modifying
the share tree definition. Upon exiting the editor, the modified data is registered with
sge_qmaster(8). Requires root or manager privileges.
-Astree fname <add share tree>
Adds the definition of a share tree to the system (see share_tree(5)) from the file fname.

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

Show the definition of the resource quota sets (RQS) specified by the argument.
-srqsl <show RQS-list>
Show a list of all currently defined resource quota setss (RQSs).
-sm <show managers>
Displays the managers list.
-so <show operators>
Displays the operator list.
-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.
-sp pe_name <show PE configuration>
Show the definition of the parallel environment (PE) specified by the argument.
-spl <show PE-list>
Show a list of all currently defined parallel environments (PEs).
-sprj project <show project>
Shows the definition of the specified project (see project(5)).
-sprjl <show project list>
Shows the list of all currently defined projects.
-sq wc_queue_list <show queues>
Displays one or multiple cluster queues or queue instances. A description of wc_queue_list can be
found in sge_types(1).
-sql <show queue list>
Show a list of all currently defined cluster queues.
-ss <show submit hosts>
Displays the Sun Grid Engine submit host list.
-ssconf <show scheduler configuration>
Displays the current scheduler configuration in the format explained in sched_conf(5).
-sstnode node_path,... <show share tree node>
Shows the name and shares of the specified share tree node(s) (see share_tree(5)). The node_path
is a hierarchical path ([/]node_name[[/.]node_name...]) specifying the location of a node in the
share tree.
-sstree <show share tree>
Shows the definition of the share tree (see share_tree(5)).
-sst <show formatted share tree>
Shows the definition of the share tree in a tree view (see share_tree(5)).
-sss <show scheduler status>
Currently displays the host on which the Sun Grid Engine scheduler is active or an error message
if no scheduler is running.
-su acl_name <show user ACL>
Displays a Sun Grid Engine user access list (ACL).
-sul <show user lists>
Displays a list of names of all currently defined Sun Grid Engine user access lists (ACLs).
-suser user,... <show user>
Shows the definition of the specified user(s) (see user(5)).
-suserl <show users>
Shows the list of all currently defined users.
-tsm <trigger scheduler monitoring>
The Sun Grid Engine scheduler is forced by this option to print trace messages of its next
scheduling run to the file <sge_root>/<cell>/common/schedd_runlog. The messages indicate the
reasons for jobs and queues not being selected in that run. Requires root or manager privileges.
Note, that the reasons for job requirements being invalid with respect to resource availability of
queues are displayed using the format as described for the qstat(1) -F option (see description of
Full Format in section OUTPUT FORMATS of the 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).
