Hello list,
I have a couple of jobs sitting in the queue (been there for ages)
that never seem to start (they're in qw).
qalter -w p #JOBNO says "verification: found possible assignment with
8 slots"
Are there higher priority jobs queued? Possibly with reservations?
AIUI -w p does not take account of such reservations but in essence
works as if the job in question were the only one waiting.
No reservations; I'll need to check the priorities thing. There might be
higher priority jobs not running due to resource mismatch that
effectively block this one... thanks for that, didn't think of that.
Possibly failing to transfer to an assigned node. You might be able to
identify which node from the schedule file if you have that enabled.
Do you have schedd_job_info enabled? qstat -j will provide more info
on why a job wasn't scheduled last go around if you do but it can cause
memory leaks and other problems. Possibly the job_list variant or just
turning it on for a single scheduling cycle might help avoid those
problems.
Not have schedd_job_info, no - used to, but it started killing my
qmaster process(es). Could try that.
Not sure if qalter -w p takes account of resource quotas either...
Haven't got resource quotas defined - shouldn't be one of those.
William
