[HTCondor-users] Why do some jobs remain Idle?

[Ralph Finch <ralphmariafinch@xxxxxxxxx>]

90 Windows 7x64 pool, running HTCondor 8.1.4.

I don't understand why some jobs remain idle...condor_q doesn't fully explain:

028.063: ÂRun analysis summary. ÂOf 90 machines,
   4 are rejected by your job's requirements
  Â15 reject your job because of their own requirements
  Â61 match and are already running your jobs
   0 match but are serving other users
   0 are available to run your job

The Requirements _expression_ for your job is:

  ( ( ( OpSys == "WINNT61" || OpSys == "WINDOWS" ) && ( Arch == "X86_64" ||
     Arch == "INTEL" ) ) ) && ( TARGET.Disk >= RequestDisk ) &&
  ( TARGET.Memory >= RequestMemory ) && ( TARGET.HasFileTransfer ) &&
  ( TARGET.HasWindowsRunAsOwner && ( TARGET.LocalCredd is "bdomo-024:9620" ) )

Your job defines the following attributes:

  ImageSize = 200000
  MemoryUsage = 196
  RequestDisk = 716800
  RequestMemory = 196
  ResidentSetSize = 200000

The Requirements _expression_ for your job reduces to these conditions:

    ÂSlots
Step  ÂMatched ÂCondition
----- Â-------- Â---------
[1] Â Â Â Â Â90 ÂOpSys == "WINDOWS"
[3] Â Â Â Â Â90 ÂArch == "X86_64"
[7] Â Â Â Â Â86 ÂTARGET.Disk >= RequestDisk
[13] Â Â Â Â 90 ÂTARGET.HasWindowsRunAsOwner
[14] Â Â Â Â 90 ÂTARGET.LocalCredd is "bdomo-024:9620"

Suggestions:

  Condition             Machines Matched  ÂSuggestion
  ---------             ----------------  Â----------
1 Â ( TARGET.Disk >= 716800 ) Â Â Â Â 86
2 Â ( target.OpSys == "WINNT61" || target.OpSys == "WINDOWS" )
                   90
3 Â ( target.Arch == "X86_64" || target.Arch == "INTEL" )
                   90
4 Â ( TARGET.Memory >= 196 ) Â Â Â Â Â90
5 Â ( TARGET.HasFileTransfer ) Â Â Â Â90
6 Â ( TARGET.HasWindowsRunAsOwner && ( TARGET.LocalCredd is "bdomo-024:9620" ) )
                   90

The following attributes are missing from the job ClassAd:
CheckpointPlatform

OK first, these don't add to the 90 jobs total:

028.063: ÂRun analysis summary. ÂOf 90 machines,
   4 are rejected by your job's requirements
  Â15 reject your job because of their own requirements
  Â61 match and are already running your jobs

And second, the 15 that reject my job...why?
