-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Norvin,
vcld picks up Block Allocations up to 6 hours before the start time of the allocation to process it (assign nodes and create reload reservations for those nodes). So, you should see entries in your vcld.log file showing that it picked up the allocation to process it. Run grep blockrequest /var/log/vcld.log on your management node to see entries about it processing Block Allocations. If everything goes correctly, you should see a line like: 2014-03-06 03:00:58|30756|530||blockrequest|blockrequest.pm:process|208| success blockTimes id 11695 processed and allocated 8 nodes |30756|530||blockrequest|blockrequest.pm:process|208| status= success Also, there is a way to test that things are configured correctly for vcld to be able to process them. vcld actually connects to the web frontend via the XML RPC API to process Block Allocations. To test that things are configured correctly, run /usr/local/vcl/bin/vcld -setup Then, choose option 1 (VCL Base Module), then option 3 (Test RPC-XML Access) Josh On Thursday, March 06, 2014 3:08:09 PM Basilio, Norvin wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I’m having a problem with block request in our vcl 2.3 environment.
