[Condor-users] Negotiator problem? Jobs not assigned to idle machines.

["Rick Lan" <Rick.Lan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
 
We have v6.8 on Windows XP machines. Preemption is disabled (3.6.10.5 of
the manual):
 
PREEMPT = False
PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS = False
RANK = 0
NEGOTIATOR_CONSIDER_PREEMPTION = False
 
and
 
CLAIM_WORKLIFE = 300
 

We have 32 machines and submitted about 40 cpusoak (from v6.6) jobs, all
from simulation@xxxxxxxxx Only 19 of them run and the rest are in the
queue sitting idle. Why do those jobs sit idle when there are no other
user with jobs and there are idle machines? How do we fill up the pool?
 
We have NEGOTIATOR_DEBUG = D_FULLDEBUG. Why is the NegotiatorLOG (below)
saying that of the 13 remaining idle startd's, none of them is assigned
to run simulation's jobs, i.e. "This schedd hit its scheddlimit."?
condor_q -analyze says that the jobs are  "match but reject the job for
unknown reasons".
 

Thanks,
Rick
