Re: [HTCondor-users] Desktop Policy renders workstations unusable

["Beyer, Christoph" <christoph.beyer@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

use Policy:Desktop shouldexpand to these values: 

[root@batchg004 chbeyer]# condor_config_val use Policy:Desktop
use POLICY:DESKTOP is
	WANT_SUSPEND=($(SmallJob) || $(KeyboardNotBusy) || $(IsVanilla) ) && ( $(SUSPEND))
	WANT_VACATE=$(ActivationTimer) > 600 || $(IsVanilla)
	SUSPEND=($(KeyboardBusy) || ( (CpuBusyTime > 120) && $(ActivationTimer) > 90))
	CONTINUE=($(CPUIdle) && ($(ActivityTimer) > 10) && (KeyboardIdle > $(ContinueIdleTime)))
	PREEMPT=(((Activity == "Suspended") && ($(ActivityTimer) > $(MaxSuspendTime))) || (SUSPEND && (WANT_SUSPEND == False)))
	START=((KeyboardIdle > $(StartIdleTime)) && ( $(CPUIdle) || (State != "Unclaimed" && State != "Owner")) )
	KILL=False
	MaxJobRetirementTime=0
	CLAIM_WORKLIFE=
	SLOTS_CONNECTED_TO_KEYBOARD=$(NUM_CPUS)
	IS_OWNER=(START =?= False)

Maybe you overwrite it somehow - also these values should be set on the EP ...

Best

Betreff: Re: [HTCondor-users] Desktop Policy renders workstations unusable

Hi Christoph,

START seems to be false from the policy: Desktop by default, slightly 
different from [1]:

 ÂÂÂ $ condor_config_val -dump | grep StartIdleTime
 ÂÂÂ START = ((KeyboardIdle > $(StartIdleTime)) && ( $(CPUIdle) || 
(State != "Unclaimed" && State != "Owner")) )
 ÂÂÂ StartIdleTime = 15 * $(MINUTE)

The preemption setting is set to false by default. Is that a problem?

 ÂÂÂ $ condor_config_val -dump | grep PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS
 ÂÂÂ PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS = False
 ÂÂÂ SCHEDD_PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS =

I will check how/when the status changes (Unclaimed -> Owner), but from 
what I've seen so far it does not seem consistent across machines and 
OSes (Debian 11/12) to me.

Thanks,
Alexander
