Hello,

We have a cluster with ppn=8 and ppn=16 nodes.  In general we want jobs 
requesting ppn=8 nodes to run on the ppn=16 nodes if they are free (i.e. 
JOBNODEMATCHPOLICY = EXACTNODE).  But we'd like the users to be able to specify 
JOBNODEMATCHPOLICY = EXACTPROC to constrain their jobs to the ppn=8 nodes.  
This should be possible but I can't get it working.  If I submit the following 
script:

#! /bin/csh -f
#PBS -S /bin/csh 
#PBS -N TEST
#PBS -r n -j oe
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=8
#PBS -l walltime=2:00:00
#PBS -W x=nmatchpolicy:exactproc

cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR

env > env.txt
qstat -f $PBS_JOBID > qstat.txt




it will run on a a ppn=16 node, even though nmatchpolicy is showing up in the 
torque job attributes and the maui log.  



% tail -1 qstat.txt
 x = nmatchpolicy:exactproc
%  grep -i match /usr/local/maui/log/maui.log
02/08 16:39:41 MUGetIndex(nmatchpolicy:exactproc,ValList,0)
% 


We are running maui 3.2.6p21 and torque 2.3.6.  Any ideas on how to debug this 
further and correct the problem?

Thanks,
Darby
