No. I am expecting that the '-R y' passed to qsub creates the advanced 
reservation based on the other
resources requested by the jobscript. Then assing the job to that advanced 
reservation.
Is this the expected behaviour? Is this something that can be done?


The question is: is the job eligible to run as the next one or is it somewhere 
down the list of waiting jobs?


The job is requesting i.e. 2 slots, is down in the list of waiting jobs, and 
without reservation is overcome by
other jobs of almost the same urgency that require only one slot.

For a resource reservation to work, it's also mandatory to submit jobs with reasonable 
h_rt/s_rt requests. Otherwise the default in the scheduler will be taken and due to the 
default "infinity" may avoid any reservation.


the job was submitted with a well defined value of hard runtime, i.e. h_rt=600

The man page of `man sched_conf` explains it.

NB: SGE judges "infinity" being smaller than "inifinity", hence jobs without specified 
runtime will always slip in as they are entitled for backfilling. It's better to put there a fixed high value 
as default_duration in the scheduler configuration like "9999:00:00".
