[torqueusers] Unable to run sequential job

[Simard, Jonathan]

Dear,
I'm unable to run sequential job instead I set the max_running setting to one.

I can run multiple job at the same time and I would like to wait for the first job finish before the other start :

lumerical at XXX:~/Simulation> qstat
Job id                    Name             User            Time Use S Queue
------------------------- ---------------- --------------- -------- - -----
107.XXX                  STDIN            lumerical              0 R test
108.XXX                  STDIN            lumerical              0 R test
109.XXX                  STDIN            lumerical              0 R test
110.XXX                  STDIN            lumerical              0 R test
111.XXX                  STDIN            lumerical              0 R test
112.XXX                  STDIN            lumerical              0 R test


If I try to start job with resource contention my job stay in queue and did not start automatically after de resources are free:

lumerical at XXX:~/Simulation/Jonathan> qrun 105
qrun: Resource temporarily unavailable MSG=job allocation request exceeds currently available cluster nodes, 1 requested, 0 available 106.XXX.teraxion

lumerical at XXX:~/Simulation/Jonathan> qstat
Job id                    Name             User            Time Use S Queue

106.XXX                  STDIN            lumerical              0 Q test
lumerical at XXX:~/Simulation/Jonathan> qstat

104.XXX                  STDIN            lumerical       00:00:00 C test

106.XXX                  STDIN            lumerical              0 Q test

I use Torque 4.2.0

XXX:~ # qmgr -c 'p s'
#
# Create queues and set their attributes.
#
#
# Create and define queue test
#

set queue test queue_type = Execution

set queue test max_running = 2
set queue test resources_default.nodes = 1
set queue test resources_default.walltime = 01:00:00
set queue test enabled = True
set queue test started = True
#

set queue batch enabled = True
set queue batch started = True
#

set server acl_hosts = XXX
set server managers = lumerical at XXX.Teraxion<mailto:lumerical at XXX.Teraxion>

set server default_queue = test
set server log_events = 511
set server mail_from = adm
set server scheduler_iteration = 600
set server node_check_rate = 150
set server tcp_timeout = 300
set server job_stat_rate = 45
set server poll_jobs = True
set server keep_completed = 300
set server next_job_number = 113

Thanks for your help.

Jonathan
