Hi Troy,
I tried you suggestion, and it do not work.
mef2 submitted a job to test queue, and node124 was off-line. The job ran on another node.

Just not sure how to isolate that node to test queue and user mef2.

Thanks

I am having trouble creating a standing reservation. I am running maui-3.0.7 and openpbs_2.4 on RH7.3. I have followed the manual to set up the reservation. Jobs are being submitted to the pbs "test" queue.

maui.cfg
SRNAME[0] zodiac
SRHOSTLIST[0] node124
SRUSERLIST[0] mef2
SRGROUPLIST[0] test
SRPERIOD[0] INFINITY
SRCLASSLIST[0] test

The goal is to have a permanent standing reservation for node124, where jobs submitted by SRUSERLIST/SRGROUP will be allowed to access the node and no one else. If the node is idle, it will not be used by other jobs.

When node124 is offline:
a job submitted to the test queue by user mef2 will run on any node. My expectation is that the job would sit in the queue until the node was available and not run on any other node(s).

node124 is on-line:
a non-SRgroup/user specifies node124 in the job and submits to the test queue, it will run on node124. I would expect SR would reject the job, due to the SR parameters.

Seems like the maui SR is not being read by pbs, even though SRCLASSLIST is defined as test. User mef2/group test, is the only user allowed to submit jobs to the queue test. Specified via acl_users/groups.

Do I need to define QOS parameters as well? Based on the manual, it does not seem like I have to.
Any help would be appreciated.

AFAIK, access controls on standing reservations in Maui (eg. SRUSERLIST,
SRGROUPLIST, SRCLASSLIST) are logically OR-ed together, so your
reservation is in effect saying that anything owned by mef2 *OR* in
group test *OR* in class test is allowed to access the node.  I think
this will do what you want if you comment out the SRGROUPLIST and
SRCLASSLIST rules and just use SRUSERLIST.
