[Condor-users] Jobs blocked as Idle in Multi-CPU machine

["ye huang" <ye.huang@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi, All:

I have two machines, nodeA contains 2 CPU, nodeB contains 1 CPU, here is the cpu information:

I fellow Condor's(
6.8.4) tutorial(http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/tutorials/intl-grid-school-3/) as my beginning, for the step of "Submitting your first Condor job", I find all the job submitted in nodeA are blocked as idle:
_______________________
ye@nodea:~$ condor_q

-- Submitter: nodea.gridgroup.eif.ch : <160.98.20.75:40855> :

1 jobs; 1 idle, 0 running, 0 held

But when I submit the same job in nodeB, it works perfectly.
In this case, I checked the condor status, the following is the feedback:

I don't know whether it's caused by nodeA contains 2 CPU, so the jobs in nodeA is blocked because they don't know where to execute?
And how could I fix this problem upon nodeA(multi-processes)?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards
