Re: [ptp-user] Job submission problems with PTP 5.0.3 and Torque RM
|
Thanks. Unfortunately, with respect to actually submitting the job to the queue, the new Keeneland-specific RM is showing the same behavior as the generic PBS RM (though this is with everything else at 5.0.3). I'll try the 5.0.4 release candidate (?) version.

You should see "PTP Contributed Resource Manager Definitions". If you load this plugin, I've added a definition for keeneland which allowed me to monitor and submit jobs. I'd be keen (pun intended) for any feedback.

Also, you should be using the "System Monitoring" perspective with the PBS RMs, not the "Parallel Runtime" perspective. This perspective has a whole lot of new views showing system and job status.

PTP 5.0.3 and Eclipse 3.7.1 don't seem to be able to completely talk to this Torque installation, and there are other problems that I can't seem to diagnose. Perhaps someone else has figured these out already, or has some suggestions about how to fix or work around these problems?

I use the context menu to start the RM, and after a second or so the RM icon changes from grey to green. However, if I select it and look at the properties view, the properties view still indicates the RM is in the STOPPED state, with "num machines" and "num queues" both 0. Furthermore, nothing shows up in the "Machines" or "Jobs list" views. These views seem contradictory - the RM view showing me it has started but others suggesting not.

When I do so, a message is displayed to the screen and written to the workspace log file saying that the qsub command failed because it couldn't find the batch script. The message shows the command was trying to use the path $HOME$HOME$GUIDmanaged_file_for_script (i.e., the home directory path is listed twice). I can't see how to modify the PBS-Generic-Batch XML file to keep it from building the path with $HOME twice.

When given the --version flag, the qstat command with Torque 2.5.7 writes its output on stderr, and that script sends stderr to /dev/null. If I change the script so that it sends stderr to stdout for this test, the script determines the version correctly but it has no effect on the problems I describe above.
