After some tries, here is a list of parameters I
had to add to some of my PE definitions:
- pe_name      <name>
- qsort_args   NONE
- user_lists   NONE
- slots        1024
- xuser_lists  NONE

Thanks for your help. I had just to edit some minor
config items but it was globally simple to upgrade.
I'm not in production yet, I've just setup a test cluster
with the new config.

Best regards
Norbert
