Re: [HTCondor-users] condor command to allocate a whole node?

[Patricia Bittencourt <patricia.bsampaio@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Brian.

I'll try condor_drain.

I plan to launch them by hand.

If it doesn't work, I'd use condor_run.

For that, do you know how what am I doing wrong in the _expression_ bellow?

export CONDOR_REQUIREMENTS='Machine=="nc43.xxxxxx" && RequiresWholeMachine=="TRUE"'

Thanks a lot,

Patricia

Hi Patricia,

If you're using partitionable slots, you may find the "condor_drain" command useful (combined with a special START _expression_ to make sure the nodes don't get immediately reused once drained).  I don't know how well it works with static slots.

Are you wanting to run the jobs through HTCondor, or launch them by hand?
