Hi Greg,Thank you very much. I'm going to try with another Rank _expression_ without the AccountingGroup.Cheers,CarlesOn Mon, 7 Dec 2020 at 17:51, Greg Thain <gthain@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:_______________________________________________
Hi Carles:
This preemption configuration should work. One thing to be aware of is that Accounting Group quotas, if you have them, are enforced before startd RANK preemption. That is, if an accounting group is already at the quota limit, startd RANK will not allow the group to go over the quota.
To test this, can you try a test with the RANK _expression_ being some other custom job attribute like "GoFirst", and have a test preemption job set "+GoFirst = true", and the RANK _expression_ be "RANK = GoFirst"Â or something like that?

Hi all,
We are running HTCondor 8.8.11 and we are using "Priority preemption" effectively on our farm.ÂÂ
However, if I'm not wrong, preemption can also work using the Startd Rank without consideringÂthe priority of the jobs, am I right? As long as you have NEGOTIATOR_CONSIDER_PREEMPTION to True (we also have ALLOW_PSLOT_PREEMPTION = True). I understand that the PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS that we use for our "Priority preemption" has no effect with "Startd Rank preemption".
Thus, for example, one machine with 2 cpus and this config:
RANK = regexp("test",AccountingGroup)
MAXJOBRETIREMENTTIME = 60
It is running 2 jobs that are asking for 1 cpu from an AccountingGroup that does not contain "test". When I submit another one that asks for 1 Cpus for the AccountingGroup that contains "test", the Rank should be better and, then, preempt one job in just 1 minute, if this works as I've understood.Â
But this is not working, the job with AccountingGroup test remains Idle while the other two, that have to be preempted (with Rank false and CurrentRank 0) are still running. I've also checked that when the job with AccountingGroup is running, the Rank is true and CurrentRank 1.0, so, the rank definition seems to be fine.
I'm sure that I'm not doing something correctly and I am not sure if the preemption works as I expected. Someone can help me?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Carles--
