Re: [HTCondor-users] Remove mistyped Request...?

[John M Knoeller <johnkn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steffen, condor_qedit will not automatically fix the Requirements _expression_ when you change the RequestGPUs to a RequestCPUs.  You have to use qedit to edit the requirements as well. 

For complex changes like requirements, it's best to put the changes into a file and then use  the -edits option of condor_qedit.

There are two ways to go about this.  One way would be to fix your submit file and then use

condor_submit -dump 

to have it spit out the correct job classad.  Grab the Requirements line and put it in a file. 

The other way is to use 

   condor_q  x.y -af:lrng  Requirements RequestGPUs > file

To make a file from job x.y and then edit the file.

Once you have your file of changes use 

  condor_qedit x.y -edits file

to make the changes.

Subject: [HTCondor-users] Remove mistyped Request...?

 

Good morning,

a DAG recently submitted to my pool spawns jobs which accidentally set
RequestGPUs=1 - when RequestCPUs=1 was intended.

Apparently condor_qedit cannot fix this - RequestGPUs can be set to 0
(which is also reported by condor_q -better-analyze) but the comparison
"TARGET.GPUs >= RequestGPUs" still gets used for matching - while no
node provides a GPU, and TARGET.GPUs is undefined, causing the match
to fail.
Also the added RequestCPUs is not included into match criteria.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Thanks,
 Steffen
