qsub delay

[Narsimha]

Hi all,

I am facing an issue with qsub command, when a script is issued with qsub as shown below:-

time qsub test.sh
Your job 12973 ("test.sh") has been submitted

real 0m59.665s
user 0m0.126s
sys 0m39.754s

It took 59 sec to generate the job id. Initially there is no delay. Since a week, we are facing this issue.

Kindly suggest how to resolve the issue.

One thing that can cause slowdowns like this IIRC is if the filesystem the qmaster is using as a
spool is slow. This happens more easily if the spool is mounted on the qmaster via NFS. For this
reason I usually have the spool local to the qmaster and NFS exported to the rest of the cluster.

The filesystem would be my initial guess too, but it needs debugging
locally. There's no evidence of an SGE bug anyhow.

You don't actually need to export qmaster's part of the spool, of
course, and there are reasons not to.

Thank you for the reply.

I am having my spool directory located in the local disks on master and all compute nodes also.

And initially when sge is installed it used to work well without any delay but since a few days i am facing this issue.

Kindly help me to resolve this issue, also let me know why i am getting this delay.

Awaiting for your reply.
