[Moabusers] Reservation creation issue

[Jerry Smith]

Try dumping the -R procs=1 ( I have found a task is equivalent to a proc 
from moab/torque's viewpoint.)

We have  been successful just using the -t flag.

If this doesn't work, you can try changing procs=1 to PROCS ( I have 
found moab to be quite case sensitive, and the docs show PROCS)

As well do you want 5 procs indefinitely?  ( if one of the nodes hosting 
your reservation dies, moab will not search out nodes/procs to
replace those that were allocated during the original reservation )

If you do want a guarantee of 5 procs at all times, you will need to set:
RSVREALLOCPOLICY*  failure

*If you have set NODEACCESSPOLICY to SINGLEJOB, I am wondering if you 
are seeing the 2/8 because moab knows that needing 2 nodes ( each with 4 
procs) will give you 2 nodes, and 8 procs ( as no one else can access 
the 3 remaining processors ))  In essence it gave you 5 procs, it just 
took 2 nodes, and since you aren't sharing, well you get an xtra 3 for free.

Good Luck,

Jerry
