Thread: Trouble right after LSF 6.2 installation

Hi,
I'm having some problems to startup the LSF daemons right after the installation. I have 5 servers (1 master and 4 slaves) running SLES 10.1, NIS and NFS work ok, I have run the lsfinstall -f install.config command in the master and, in every server, the hostsetup command and . profile.lsf as well. But when I try to run lsfstartup in the master and as root, I get the following output:

master:~ # lsfstartup -f
Starting up all LIMs ...
Do you really want to start up LIM on all hosts ? [y/n]y
Start up LIM on <master.parquecientificomurcia.es> ...... master.parquecientificomurcia.es: Connection refused

Waiting for Master LIM to start up .................................................. .................................................

and gets stuck there.
I've tried using limsatartup on lsadmin too, but it doesn't work either:

master:~ # lsadmin
lsadmin>limstartup
Starting up LIM on <master.parquecientificomurcia.es> ...... done
lsadmin>limstartup all
Do you really want to start up LIM on all hosts ? [y/n]y
Start up LIM on <master.parquecientificomurcia.es> ...... master.parquecientificomurcia.es: Connection refused
lsadmin>

I can access by ssh the slaves using their hostnames, so it doesn't look like a connectivity problem... Do you have any idea about what the problem can be?
Thank you!

lsfstartup only works if you have rsh or passwordless ssh configured.
Of course since its sles 10, rsh is disabled.

So what you do is in lsf.conf add the line LSF_RSH=ssh

then enable passwordless ssh , if you aren't sure just google, lots of tutorials out there.

Once that is done, and you can ssh to your other hosts and itself without password prompt, then you can use lsfstartup.
