I just set up the following class:

com_rg4: type = class # class for medium jobs
priority = 60 # ClassSysprio
# cpu_limit= 08:00:00 # 2 hour run time limit
wall_clock_limit = 00:10:00 # Needed for BACKFILL scheduler
max_processors = 4 # default max processors for class (no limit)
max_total_tasks = 4

In Loadl_config.local, I have:

CLASS = small(8) medium(5) large(2) inter_class(8) all_spec(0) com_rg8(0)
com_rg32(0) com_sb8(0) com_sb32(0) com_rg4(4) com_sb4(4)

I submitted some test jobs with the following stanza:

#@ job_name = tstclm01
#@ class = com_rg4
#@ node = 1
#@ tasks_per_node = 4
#@ output = $(job_name).txt
#@ error = $(job_name).txt
#@ job_type = parallel
#@ network.MPI = csss,shared,us
#@ node_usage = not_shared
#@ account_no = 36271012
## @ wall_clock_limit = 3800
#@ queue


However, llq reports:

==================== EVALUATIONS FOR JOB STEP esmf04m.540.0 ====================

SUMMARY

This LoadLeveler cluster has sufficient resources to run this job step.
Dynamic constraints and other scheduling requirements may prevent the job step from running at the present time.

ANALYSIS

Basic Requirements :

Class : com_rg4
Machine : (Arch == "R6000") && (OpSys == "AIX51")
Network/Adapter : (csss,MPI,shared,US)
Consumable Resource :

Requirements of Node Type 0 :

Minimum Instance(s) : 1
Number of Initiator(s)/Task(s) : 4

Status of machines in the LoadLeveler cluster:

The following machine(s) can be assigned to Node Type 0.

esmf04m

The following machines are unable to meet the Basic Requirements.

esmf08m : class = com_rg4 is not supported by this machine.
esmf07m : class = com_rg4 is not supported by this machine.
esmf06m : class = com_rg4 is not supported by this machine.
esmf05m : class = com_rg4 is not supported by this machine.
esmf03m : class = com_rg4 is not supported by this machine.
esmf02m : class = com_rg4 is not supported by this machine.
esmf01m : class = com_rg4 is not supported by this machine.
bash-2.05b$


What do I need to do to get these jobs out of (alloc) state?

Google web and google groups turned up nothing.

Thanks in advance.
