<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can someone explain to me how
timeshared nodes should be specified in Torque???</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have been trying ':ts' in the nodes file (e.g. 'node1:ts' -
previous message below) without success.</DIV>
<DIV>Should I instead be specifying multiple "virtual" processors with e.g.
'node1 np=2' ??</DIV>
<DIV>I have tried this, it kinda works, but then can't seem to be able to get 1
process per node (the scheduler always puts 2 processes on each node).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is no mention of ':ts' in the online documentation for Torque node
configuration:</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thoroughly confused</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance any enlightenment</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Previous message:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to set up a small cluster of single
processor machines. I want to have all configures as timeshared, so as to run
long jobs, but also to occasionally push through jobs fast across the whole
cluster.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have Torque/Maui set up. Everything works fine if
nodes are configured as 'cluster'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However when I add the :ts to nodes in nodes config
file it goes bad.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>pbsnodes -a reports everything correctly, all nodes
as 'time-shared' and in 'free' state.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However jobs in the queue do not start with
error:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>job is deferred. Reason:
RMFailure (cannot start job - RM failure, rc: 15062, msg: 'Unknown node
')<BR>Holds: Defer (hold reason:
RMFailure)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only difference is the addition of the ':ts'
subscript.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas?</DIV>
