I have recently upgraded torque and maui on my cluster and have run into a
weird issue that I am having a hard time understanding why I can't find any
documentation on the subject.
Maui: 3.3.1 (upgraded from 3.2.6)
RM: Torque 2.4.16 (upgraded from 2.1.12)
AM: Qbank: 2.11 (not upgraded)
Previously, I had torque queues for users that are not charged time for running
their jobs, as an example, lets say people that belong to the unix group
'lc_cmb' submit jobs to the 'cmb' queue using 'qsub -q cmb script.pbs'. The
maui.cfg entry for cmb was:
CLASSCFG[cmb] NOAM=TRUE JOBFLAGS=SHAREDIFSINGLENODE
MAXJOB[USER]=300,420
and that basically turned off any charges for the cmb group.
I know that qbank is working fine, and maui <-> interaction is fine because
regular users that do get charged time work fine.
Is there a different way of turning off account management charges for queues
in maui/torque/qbank?
The error in the maui.log file is pretty simple:
09/20 21:49:48 INFO: transaction sent to AM
09/20 21:49:48 ALERT: cannot create AM reservation for job '1324' (request
refused)
09/20 21:49:48 ERROR: cannot start job '1324' in partition DEFAULT

I find this weird:
[root@hpc-pbs maui]$ showconfig | grep '\[cmb\]'
CLASSCFG[cmb] DEFAULT.FEATURES=[cmb]
[root@hpc-pbs maui]$ diagnose -v -c cmb
Class/Queue Status
Name Priority Flags QDef QOSList* PartitionList
Target Limits
cmb 0 [NONE] [NONE] [NONE] [NONE]
0.00 [NONE]
DEFAULT.FEATURES=[cmb] MAXJOBPERUSER=420,300
So, the maxjob configuration is there, but no JOBFLAGS or NOAM configurations
shown.
