Paul,
My advice is that you try some of the informational commands of
Maui, like
showq
mdiag -q
checkjob 5846
showstart 5846
and perhaps also
checkjob -v 5846
These will possibly tell you quite a lot about what resources
there are and why your job are not able to run on them.
Best regards,

I have what seems to be a simple policy but my job is stuck in the queue
and I don't know why. The cluster is 16 nodes/32processors, I have 4
queues, 'normal' is the default. The is the cluster current status:

I have Hinkle limited to 4 processors, job 5805 is using all 4. I
submitted cpuburn to a single node but it's not running.

Am I missing the obvious?

I think I'm a little more confused... I did a
checkjob 5846
and it immediately returned with a State: of "Running" on node 8.
I qsub'ed another, and it immediately started. I qsub'ed 14 more and
they all ran.
It seems the MAXNODE= has no effect on the scheduler in my
configuration. When I set
MAXPROC= the scheduler will correctly hold jobs based on that
setting. Where did I
go wrong?
Thanks
Paul
