<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Hello,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">I'm experimenting with node weights and I'm very puzzled by what I see. Looking at the documentation I gathered that jobs will be allocated to the nodes with the lowest weight which satisfies their requirements. I have
3 nodes in a partition and I have defined the nodes like so..</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"></p>
<div>NodeName=orange01 Procs=48 Sockets=8 CoresPerSocket=6 ThreadsPerCore=1 RealMemory=1018990 State=UNKNOWN Weight=50</div>
<div>NodeName=orange[02-03] Procs=48 Sockets=8 CoresPerSocket=6 ThreadsPerCore=1 RealMemory=1018990 State=UNKNOWN</div>
<br>
<p></p>
<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">So, given that the default weight is 1 I would expect jobs to be allocated to orange02 and orange03 first. I find, however that my test job is always allocated to orange01 with the higher weight. Have I overlooked something?
I would appreciate your advice, please.</p>
