Unless you have more than 201 cores per exechost, this is fine. > However now when I submit a job the host goes in error state.

Can the exechosts write to the location of the spool directory? Often it's better to have at least the nodes writing to a local place. This can even be done after installation: shut down the exechosts, change the setting of the spool directory to a local place on the exechosts (`qconf -mconf`), create these directories like /var/spool/sge (the exechost specific directory will be created when the sge_execd starts up). https://arc.liv.ac.uk/SGE/howto/nfsreduce.html -- Reuti > Any ideas? > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Reuti [mailto:re...@staff.uni-marburg.de] > Sent: Friday, August 18, 2017 4:37 > To: John_Tai > Cc: users@gridengine.org > Subject: Re: [gridengine users] error reason 1: can not find an unused > add_grp_id > > Hi, > >> Am 18.08.2017 um 02:30 schrieb John_Tai <john_...@smics.com>: >> >> When I submit more than 1 job to a queue, the job is queued even though >> there are free slots available.
