Re: Xeon submit host for both Xeon and Opteron nodes?: msg#00101

Hi Mike,

We currently use an Intel Xeon submit node and all our compute nodes are amd opterons.

If you use separate queues it should be fine.

Hi Ryan and all others.

Here we have a problem we've not seen yet.

I've parted the cluster with 11 Xeon nodes (named ruche) and 14 Opteron nodes (named callas).

I've made pure opteron queues and pure xeon queues with :

- in the nodes file
xeonname np=2 xeon ruche
...
opteronname np=2 opteron callas

- in the queues definitions
set queue ruche resources_default.neednodes = ruche
set queue callas resources_default.neednodes = callas

- in the MAUI config

CLASSCFG[callas] MAXJOB=48
CLASSCFG[ruche] MAXJOB=22

And we thought all was all right !

BUT if we submit more than 48 jobs in the callas queue, the 49th job is submitted to a xeon node !!!

How can I ensure this never happens ?

(what I found is :
# checknode xeonname


checking node xeonname

...

Features:   [xeon]
Attributes: [Batch]
Classes:    [callas 2:2][ruche 2:2][batch 2:2]


how comes the "Features" tell only "xeon" "ruche" but we can see "callas" in the classes ?????)


Thanks for any help...
