Technote (troubleshooting)

Problem(Abstract)

xterm job returns warning: "_IceTransSocketUNIXConnect: Cannot connect to non-local.."

Resolving the problem

You run "bsub -Ip -q test xterm" and the following message appears:

<           >    

_IceTransSocketUNIXConnect: Cannot connect to non-local host server2

Warning: Tried to connect to session manager, Could not open network socket server2 = lsf client server1 = lsf host

The warnning message occurs because the SESSION_MANAGER variable is passed from the submission host to the execution host

To prevent this issue, use LSF JOB_STARTER feature to prevent the environment variable from passing.
