Hello Pascual and list

Pascual, did you configure your Torque/PBS server?

Your nodes file,
/opt/torque/server_priv/nodes (or equivalent path)
should have the nodes you want to use, and how many CPUs (or cores) they have.
Something more or less like this:

my_master_node.local np=2 #(only if you want the master node to run jobs also)
my_compute_node_01.local np=2
my_compute_node_02.local np=2
...

You also need to restart the Torque/PBS server after you change the nodes file.

Hi all,

We are assembling a cluster following:

http://debianclusters.cs.uni.edu/

Right now we have a master/head node and a cluster/compute node. Both are listed in the configuration files (torque pbs nodes and maui machines.LINUX) to have 2 processors.

When we send jobs to the queue through a script like:

#!/bin/bash
#PBS -l nodes=2

cd /home/justme/
mpirun -machinefile $PBS_NODEFILE -np 4 /usr/bin/whatever

The 4 processes run on the master node! And the cluster node is free!

On other clusters, this works fine, so the problem is not in the program being run, rather in the torque/maui (we guess) configuration.

So we did something wrong in configuration, but can't guess what. All your ideas will be welcomed.

Thanks in advance.
