[torqueusers] remaining memory on a node

[Andrus, Brian Contractor]

Ok. That is what is odd to me.

Pbsnodes is telling me:
status = rectime=1313175218,varattr=,jobs=141859.hamming2.local 141328.hamming2.local,state=free,netload=481480719018,gres=,loadave=0.01,ncpus=16,physmem=24676992kb,availmem=44749640kb,totmem=45159856kb,idletime=617965,nusers=0,nsessions=? 15201,sessions=? 15201,uname=Linux compute-8-33.local 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Sep 29 12:50:31 EDT 2010 x86_64,opsys=linux

so 
physmem=24676992kb
 availmem=44749640kb

Wow... I have way more available than is physically in the system!???

>From the node itself:
[bdandrus at compute-8-33 ~]$ cat /proc/meminfo |grep MemTotal
MemTotal:     24676992 kB

So how does mom calculate this??

mdiag -n will tell you what Moab thinks the node has for memory, in MB.

pbsnodes <nodename> should tell you what torque thinks; see the 'availmem='
value.
