Re: [HTCondor-users] Don't understand HoldReason msg

Ralph,

 

I find that when jobs go into hold or Idle immediately after they go into run status there is a problem with the submit file. Jobs that move to the hold status can mean other things, but for me it usually means I made an error in my submit file.

 

My first guess would be  the submit user does not have this  drive (D:\) mapped on the client. Are you using load_profile? If not then use UNC paths for everything. If the submit user (depending on how your pool is set up this might be a couple things) does have a mapped drive on the client, then check if the executable will run outside of Condor on your local machine. If the above two tests are vetted, then possibly there is a problem with the central manager communication.

 

Hope this helps,

mike

$CondorVersion: 7.9.1 Oct 15 2012 BuildID: 70216 $
$CondorPlatform: x86_64_winnt_6.1 $

I'm submitting jobs to the pool and they're all being Held, the reason given is:

HoldReason = "Failed to initialize user log to d:\delta\models\Historical_v81_Beta_Release\201X-Calibration\PEST\MTZ_Boundary_EC\condor\dsm2-15-8.log or "

I don't understand this because the log files are in fact created in the above directory, with size 0, which I think is normal when nothing is written.
