Title: qbwrk.conf does't seems to work (Worker update fails)
Post by: slubitz on April 16, 2009, 01:39:51 PM
Hi all,

I am evaluating Qube! at the moment and after the installation I recognised some Problems.......
For Example:
I have a very small qbwrk.conf file located in c:\
[GlobalSettings]
proxy_execution_mode=user
client_host_domain=mydomain

After I run: qbadmin worker --reconfig the configuration on the Worker is still the same.
Is there a reason why?

I tried also qbconfigfile c:\qbwrk.conf.The output seems to be OK.

I can set the Values manually on each Client, but this is boaring :-)

Systemdata:
Supervisor: W2k8,64bit, 192.168.103.205
Clients: XP,64bit, 192.168.103.xxx

Has someone made the same experience?

Regards,
Stefan

It looks like you do not have the file placed in the right location.  On Windows, the qbwrk.conf file needs to go into the C:\WINDOWS directory (and will be next to the qb.conf file).  On Linux and OSX, the location is /etc/qbwrk.conf.

Here are 2 useful tools for working with the central worker configuration.  (the Linux/OSX path to qbwrk.conf is shown in the examples below):

The workerlog may also provide some debugging information if the configuration is not being picked up:
? Linux/Mac OS X ? /var/log/workerlog
? Windows ? C:\Program Files\qube\logs\workerlog

See the Administration pdf manual Chapter 3 for more information on the qbwrk.conf topic.

Hello everyone, despite following the examples and browsing the documentation pretty thoroughly, I'm still having trouble getting my workers to update from a global config file. I am doing a very very simple qbwrk.conf file, only attempting to add a group to a few of my workers. After doing qbadmin worker --reconfigure I get no errors. Looking at a workers log file I see that it receives the update request but nothing changes. Any thoughts?

I'll bump this thread with a similar and equally infuriating problem.

I am attempting to set up a rudimentary qbwrk.conf file on our supervisor system, a virtual server. The file currently has this in it;

[805a[01-15]]
worker_groups = "DAC"

[805b[01-15]]
worker_groups = "DAC"

Which in theory should assign our two labs to the same group, DAC. After saving this file I ran qbadmin w -reconfigure on the supervisor and absolutely nothing happened. I have tried restarting the supervisor and worker services, and looked extensively through the qb.conf files on both worker and supervisor for a clue as to why this refuses to update and reassign the workers to groups. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
