I should explain the queues better.

I have

normal    - default
HiMem    -jobs needing up to 30GB per node (max 2 jobs per host)
Hi CPU - same except jobs run 100% cpu for weeks, so need 2 jobs per host max
short       - kills job after 60 min
vshort     - kils job after 30 minutes

so I

qsub -q normal  -cwd   ........
or
qsub -q HiMem  -cwd .....

and if normal is full it will go to HiMem, then try HiCPU, then short, then very short... I want it to wait until the queue is available that the job is assigned to. I don't want it to try the next queue



on the other one..

previously, when an execute node sent an error to the grid, the node was pulled out automatically. now I have to ask the user what node the job failed on, they tell me and I start testing

qstat - f would tell me which nodes were bad (or the dirty word qmon would tell me which were not healthy).
Now it just keeps sending jobs to bad nodes.


Thank You!

Hi Dan:

qsub -cwd -b y 'metal < input.file > log.file'

Might work, if users/you still want to work without script files.

Default queue -- to $SGE_ROOT/default/common/sge_request add:

-q all.q

(or whatever your default queue is) That sets a hard queue, which can be 
overridden with '-q someotherqueue'.

Not sure about the last ... generally nodes will only error out if the error is 
a GE error, not a job error, so maybe they're just job errors? Do simple jobs 
work?

Subject: Re: [gridengine users] command runs in grid engine but does not 
complete.


As my grid engine was stable and working...and that was more important
than anything else. I left it mostly running minimally administered for
a year.

When I went to add 6 more nodes to the grid, I inadvertently and
stupidly reconfigured the grid breaking it.

So I am trying to get the grid back to where my users expect it.


I found what my problem was and a work around...

the command  was

qsub -cwd -b y metal < input.file > log.file  and it was choking

when I put   metal < input.file > log.file  into a script file, and ran
qsub -cwd script.bash         it works fine


The next two issues that I have been googling and pouring over the
documentation....

When I send a job to a queue, if the queue is busy it sends it to the
next queue (defeating the purpose of separate queues in my env). How do
I set the queues to run jobs ONLY in the appointed queue?

The execute nodes were updated, and some are not playing well in the
sandbox. When the grid sends a job there, it hangs, sends an error but
does not remove that blade from the execute node list like it did before.
Is there an easy way to manually test the execute nodes (there are 180),
and why is it not removing bad nodes from the available nodes as it did
before?  Before it would mark it unusable so when I list the execute
nodes I would see that the node was bad and it would not accept jobs.

The command line works fine, and creates the data files. But I need to
run large jobs on the queue
