Platform LSF 10.1.0.12 might return the message, "ERROR: PROVIDER(Platform): Error 10027"


When submitting a job via SAS® Grid Manager Client Utility (SASGSUB) using Platform LSF 10.10.12, the following error might occur:

ERROR: PROVIDER(Platform): Error 10027
ERROR: Cannot initialize the grid provider module.

By default, Platform LSF 10.1.0.12 sets the LSF_STRICT_CHECKING option to ENHANCED, which adds a checksum to each authorization request. This setting also enables more strict checking of communications between LSF daemons and between LSF commands and daemons.

To work around this issue, edit the LSF_TOP/conf/lsf.conf file and set LSF_STRICT_CHECKING to either Y or N based on your needs:

LSF_STRICT_CHECKING=Y | N

Important Note: You must shut down the entire cluster before enabling or disabling this parameter.
