I am following the tutorial on Center for High Throughput Computing and Introduction to Configuration in the HTCondor website to set up a Partitionable slot. Before any configuration I run
condor_status
and get the following output.
I update the file 00-minicondor in /etc/condor/config.d by adding the following lines at the end of the file.
NUM_SLOTS = 1
NUM_SLOTS_TYPE_1 = 1
SLOT_TYPE_1 = cpus=4
SLOT_TYPE_1_PARTITIONABLE = TRUE
and reconfigure
sudo condor_reconfig
Now with
condor_status
I get this output as expected. Now, I run the following command to check everything is fine
condor_status -af Name Slotype Cpus
and find [email protected] undefined 1 instead of [email protected] Partitionable 4 61295 that is what I would expect. Moreover, when I try to summit a job that asks for more than 1 cpu it does not allocate space for it (It stays waiting forever) as it should.
I don't know if I made some mistake during the installation process or what could be happening. I would really appreciate any help!
EXTRA INFO: If it can be of any help have have installed HTCondor with the command
curl -fsSL https://get.htcondor.org | sudo /bin/bash -s – –no-dry-run
on Ubuntu 18.04 running on an old p2.xlarge instance (it has 4 cores).
UPDATE: After rebooting the whole thing it seems to be working. I can now send jobs with different CPUs requests and it will start them properly.
The only issue I would say persists is that Memory allocation is not showing properly, for example:
But in reality it is allocating enough memory for the job (in this case around 12 GB).
If I run again condor_status -af Name Slotype Cpus I still get something I am not supposed to
But at least it is showing the correct number of CPUs (even if it just says undefined).
