Fernando, Likely, those jobs took so long waiting (DEFERTIME * DEFERCOUNT) that they were put on batch hold. This means you need to manually kick them off with 'qrun'
Check out the DEFERTIME and DEFERCOUNT parameters for maui Brian Andrus ITACS/Research Computing Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, California voice: 831-656-6238 From: mauiusers-boun...@supercluster.org [mailto:mauiusers-boun...@supercluster.org] On Behalf Of Fernando Caba Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2013 7:30 AM To: mauiusers Subject: [Mauiusers] Change jobs/nodes/resources priority Hi All, i have a cluster with maui 3.3.1 and torque 3.0.1. Cluster works fine. But, the next situation recently is very often. Having free processors (4 in this case), why jobs 5610 and 5613 (4 processors each), don´t ingress in the the queue. It´s obviously that i have freee resources (4 processors), the users claims for execution deferred (or idle) [root@cluster]# showq ACTIVE JOBS-------------------- JOBNAME USERNAME STATE PROC REMAINING STARTTIME 5410 ricardo Running 4 INFINITY Mon Sep 23 11:35:22 5463 sol Running 4 INFINITY Fri Sep 27 19:11:06 5464 sol Running 4 INFINITY Fri Sep 27 19:11:24 5535 carolina Running 4 INFINITY Tue Oct 1 11:07:33 5536 nicolas Running 4 INFINITY Tue Oct 1 12:46:10 5559 mmarta Running 4 INFINITY Fri Oct 4 10:06:34 5560 mmarta Running 4 INFINITY Fri Oct 4 10:09:23 5568 leandro Running 4 INFINITY Fri Oct 4 15:57:36 5579 silvia Running 12 INFINITY Sat Oct 5 22:40:39 5586 carolina Running 4 INFINITY Sun Oct 6 18:36:15 5588 walter Running 4 INFINITY Sun Oct 6 23:35:03 5592 patricia Running 4 INFINITY Mon Oct 7 09:03:27 5594 mmarta Running 4 INFINITY Mon Oct 7 11:00:57 5600 ricardo Running 4 INFINITY Mon Oct 7 17:50:09 5601 carolina Running 4 INFINITY Mon Oct 7 18:28:48 5602 nicolas Running 4 INFINITY Mon Oct 7 20:43:33 5605 nicolas Running 4 INFINITY Tue Oct 8 00:14:51 5606 gabriela Running 4 INFINITY Tue Oct 8 06:17:47 5607 gabriela Running 4 INFINITY Tue Oct 8 06:21:50 5608 gabriela Running 4 INFINITY Tue Oct 8 06:25:26 5609 cecilia Running 4 INFINITY Tue Oct 8 06:29:13 21 Active Jobs 92 of 96 Processors Active (95.83%) 8 of 8 Nodes Active (100.00%) IDLE JOBS---------------------- JOBNAME USERNAME STATE PROC WCLIMIT QUEUETIME 0 Idle Jobs BLOCKED JOBS---------------- JOBNAME USERNAME STATE PROC WCLIMIT QUEUETIME 5584 patricia Deferred 12 INFINITY Sun Oct 6 11:02:55 5610 cecilia Deferred 4 INFINITY Tue Oct 8 06:30:26 5613 patricia Deferred 4 INFINITY Tue Oct 8 11:06:19 Total Jobs: 24 Active Jobs: 21 Idle Jobs: 0 Blocked Jobs: 3 [root@cluster]# this is my maui.cfg file: #
