Re: [HTCondor-users] NUM_SLOTS to higher value without affecting running jobs

Sorry, No.  

You cannot change the provisioned resources or number of slots in at Startd with a reconfig -  A restart is required.  And a restart will kill all of the jobs.

What you *can* do is change the configuration, and then run

     condor_drain -restart-on-completion

This will only evict jobs that have exceeded their MaxJobRetirementTime

Is there a way to set NUM_SLOTS of an execute node to a *higher value* 
without affecting currently running jobs?

I tried changing the value in condor_config.local and restarting condor, 
but this seems to kill currently running jobs.

Thanks
