If you ran lsfinstall as a non-root user to install a multi-user cluster, the LSF administration commands lsadmin and badmin might give the error message “User permission denied”.
Use the following commands to change the ownership for lsadmin and badmin to root and the file permission mode to -rwsr-xr-x:
Now the user ID bit for the owner is setuid. If lsadmin and badmin are in a directory shared through NFS, the directory must be shared and mounted with setuid enabled. Do not mount with the nosuid flag. If your site does not permit this, copy lsadmin and badmin to /usr/bin or /bin.
This occurs when your cluster is using more licenses than you have purchased. LSF allows for some overuse due to the peak usage of the cluster.
See the lsf.cluster_name.license.acct file for details of the peak license usage of your cluster:
You may see this message after running lsid, lshosts, or other ls* commands.
The port number defined in LSF_LICENSE_FILE and license.dat is being used by another application (by default, LSF uses port number 1700).
