To improve the uniformity of the computing resources at the various BiG
Grid sites towards the users, all sites will define a set of identical
queues (concerning name and properties) on their computing systems.
At grid site NIKHEF-ELPROD, we have created new queues that will replace
some of the existing queues. The following queues will be removed from
the systems per December 7th, 2009:
* "test": replaced by queue "infra";
* "qshort": replaced by queue "short" with a maximum wall time of 4 hours;
* "qlong": replaced by queue "medium" with a maximum wall time of 36 hours.
Note: the replacing queues can already be used.
How does this affect users of the computing infrastructure?
* Users who do not explicitly submit jobs to a specific queue, do not
have to take any action;
* Users who put a statement in the .jdl file to select a specific queue
may have to change the queue name in the .jdl file;
* Users who directly submit jobs to a Computing Element and queue via
the command glite-wms-job-submit using the option
"--resource <CE>:2119/jobmanager-pbs-<QUEUE>"
may have to change the name for <QUEUE>.
Best regards,
