HI, I basically have the same problem as described here:
http://www.supercluster.org/pipermail/mauiusers/2009-April/003817.html using torque 2.4.3 and maui 3.2.6p21 . I have a definition like this: QOSCFG[noht] QFLAGS=DEDICATED Where I'm giving users the option to be the only job on a node. Lines like #PBS -l qos=noht in .pbs files or run from the command line with "qsub -l qos=noht job.pbs" end up using the DEFAULT qos. I can "setqos noht jobid" after running the job but that leaves open the possibility that someone else's job starts running on the node immediately after my job starts running. I also thought about running "setqos noht $PBS_JOBID" from inside the .pbs file but that would probably cause the same race condition between my job and other jobs. I also don't know if maui commands would work from nodes that are only running the pbs_mom. It seems that only when I specify QDEF=noht for USERCFG, GROUPCFG, ACCOUNTCFG, or CLASSCFG does it always start the specified qos, but again I want to be able to specify this qos at job submission time without adding a "noht" account (which would mess up my fairshare configurations). I guess the best work around for now would be to create a noht queue and have it QDEF'd to that CLASS? Thanks, Sabuj Pattanayek _______________________________________________ mauiusers mailing list [email protected] http://www.supercluster.org/mailman/listinfo/mauiusers
