Importance: High

Hello,

I just installed Condor 6.8.2 and I am testing it on a single Windows 2000 machine.

I'm using the installed condor_config file, except for adding/changing the following:
RANK, PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS = TRUE, GROUP_NAMES = group_test1, group_test2, GROUP_PRIO_FACTOR_<groupname>, NEGOTIATIOR_INTERVAL = 30.

I have encountered a few unexpected things/problems.  Could you please answer the following questions?

1. Does GROUP_PRIO_FACTOR_<groupname>  work at all?  When I do condor_userprio -all, I don't see the values
I specify in condor_config, but 1.0 (the default). So, I have to use condor_userprio to manually set the
priority factors.

TESTING RANK:

I set the effective priorities of "group_test1", "group_test2", and "myusername" to be the same.

2. I use RANK = (AccountingGroup == "group_test1")*20 and run a job with +AccountingGroup = "group_test",
but condor_status -l shows CurrentRank = 0.0.  The job from group_test does preempt a job from myusername
not using a group. Why is CurrentRank zero then?

_____________________________________________
I think you need to use RANK = (AccountinigGroup = "group_test1")*20 (note the single =), otherwise your getting a comparison, and AccountingGroup doesn't equal "group_test1" so you end up with 0*20. Hope that helps.
