[Condor-users] 7.8 Upgrade Issues

[Francesco Pierfederici <fpierfed@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just upgraded a small development cluster from 7.6.1 to 7.8.1 using the YUM repository. I noticed two things:

1. The upgrade wiped my local configs (both condor_config.local and all the files in /etc/condor/config.d/). Not a big deal to me, but something worth considering for future releases.

2. I am now seeing a lot more jobs in idle state than before. I am running a test DAG which at some point starts a cluster of 4 jobs. 3 of them start (jobs 1, 2, 3) while job 0 stays idle and is picked up at a later negotiation cycle. The next node in the DAG is then scheduled and stays idle for several negotiation cycles before being executed.

Am I doing something wrong or is there some configuration knob I should be looking into? I attach my config file as well as the Negotiator log, in case it helps.


Thanks!
Francesco
