Re: [HTCondor-users] Slot configuration not starting with 1

[Larry Martell <larry.martell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Itâs not that we want to, itâs most likely a mistake by the person who was setting up that system, but it took us hours to find and fix the issue, and the fix was a total shot in the dark. So we are curious as to why that didnât work. Is such a configuration not supported or is there some setting we need to support it?Â

Hi,

not sure if I got you right here - you want to define a SLOT_TYPE_2 but omit the type 1 ?

Why would that be a desireable thing ?

Basically we had this:

SLOT_TYPE_2 = cpus=15,memory=90%,disk=90%,gpus=0

And it would not come up saying there were 0 CPUs, memory, disk, and GPUs.

We changed it to:

SLOT_TYPE_1 = cpus=15,memory=90%,disk=90%,gpus=0

and it came up fine.
