Why upgrade from 2.1.x? 2.1.x is the most stable branch. 2.3 certainly has some new features, but if you don't need them, I recomment staying with 2.1.x. > I have a large cluster with several departments and these departments want > to use the nodes they purchased.

It did nothing. I've been using the neednodes method for many years. I'm currently using torque 2.1..10 (with some patches up to 2.1.12) and maui-3.2.6p20-snap.1223069659. > I've been trying to do partitions in Maui and that seems to be ignored as > well. This is a 64 bit system, by the way. Can you try a 32bit build of maui? I've recently noticed some problems with 64bit maui. > set queue esmg08q resources_max.cput = 10000:00:00 > set queue esmg08q resources_max.ncpus = 179 > set queue esmg08q resources_max.nodect = 22 > set queue esmg08q resources_max.walltime = 10000:00:00 > set queue esmg08q resources_min.cput = 00:00:01 > set queue esmg08q resources_min.ncpus = 1 > set queue esmg08q resources_min.nodect = 1 > set queue esmg08q resources_default.neednodes=altix > set queue esmg08q resources_min.walltime = 00:00:01 > set queue esmg08q resources_default.cput = 10000:00:00 > set queue esmg08q resources_default.ncpus = 8 > set queue esmg08q resources_default.walltime = 100:00:00 I'd simply this. ncpus and nodect often don't play well together. -- Garrick Staples, GNU/Linux HPCC SysAdmin University of Southern California See the Dishonor Roll at http://www.californiansagainsthate.com/
