Re: [Mauiusers] maui not honoring multiple PBSPro node attributes

[Franco M. Bladilo]

Gabe, Thanks for the suggestion, now maui seems fine but pbs doesn't want to let me submit if it doesn't know about these features: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> diagnose -n | grep matlab ada746-6                 Idle   4:4     8016:8016        1:1        8016:8016    1.00 DEFAUL  linux DEF   0.00 000 [interactive_4:4][phyz_4:4][co [DEFAULT]                      [fpga,matlab] ada746-5                 Busy   0:4     8016:8016        1:1        8016:8016    1.00 DEFAUL  linux DEF   0.00 001 [interactive_4:4][phyz_4:4][co [DEFAULT]                      [fpga,matlab] ada748-1                 Busy   0:4     8016:8016        1:1        8016:8016    1.00 DEFAUL  linux DEF   0.00 001 [interactive_4:4][phyz_4:4][co [DEFAULT]                      [matlab] ada748-3                 Busy   0:4     8016:8016        1:1        8016:8016    1.00 DEFAUL  linux DEF   0.00 001 [interactive_4:4][phyz_4:4][co [DEFAULT]                      [matlab] ada748-2                 Busy   0:4     8016:8016        1:1        8016:8016    1.00 DEFAUL  linux DEF   0.00 001 [interactive_4:4][phyz_4:4][co [DEFAULT]                      [matlab] ada748-5                 Idle   4:4     8016:8016        1:1        8016:8016    1.00 DEFAUL  linux DEF   0.00 000 [interactive_4:4][phyz_4:4][co [DEFAULT]                      [matlab] ada748-6                 Idle   4:4     8016:8016        1:1        8016:8016    1.00 DEFAUL  linux DEF   0.00 000 [interactive_4:4][phyz_4:4][co [DEFAULT]                      [matlab] ada748-4                 Idle   4:4     8016:8016        1:1        8016:8016    1.00 DEFAUL  linux DEF   0.00 000 [interactive_4:4][phyz_4:4][co [DEFAULT]                      [matlab] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> qsub -I -l nodes=1:matlab qsub: Job exceeds queue resource limits [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> If I list multiple node attributes on PBS maui doesn't like it and if I use maui's NODECFG features PBS doesn't accept the jobs. Chicken and egg problem.. What version of PBSPro did you get to run with this workaround? I'm running 5.4.5 on this cluster.. Thanks.

Jobs that request the second attribute never get to run. Any ideas? I had this same problem when running PBSPro 5.4.x and Moab. Although I can't say when the Maui developers will port the fix for this problem that's in Moab, you should be able to use the NODECFG parameter as a temporary work-around. NODECFG[nodename] FEATURES=one,two,three I used this work-around semi-successfully while Moab was still broken. In order for this to work, you will need to remove all features on the node definitions in PBS. If Maui sees any features at all in PBS's node configuration, it will use those and then only use the first one.
