how do i find a complete list of available torque pbs queues?

Question

Q: How do I find the available PBS queues on the "typical" Torque MPI system? (asking our admin takes 24+ hours, and the system changes with constant migration)

(for example, "Std8" is one possible queue)

#PBS -q Std8

The admin finally got back. To get a list of queues on our hpc system, the command is:

$ qstat -q

qstat -f -Q

shows available queues and details about the limits (cputime, walltime, associated nodes etc.)

How about simply "pbsnodes" - that should probably tell you more than you care to know. Or I suppose "qstat -Q".

The confusing thing is that the queue name is "default", so I didn't see it when I ran your "qstat -Q". – russian_spy Aug 29 '11 at 16:48

Run

qhost -q

to see the node-queue mapping.

Another option:

qmgr -c 'p q'

The p and q are for print queues.

In most cases this would print `No Active Queues, nothing done`. On the other hand the `p s` command would print all queues associated with all servers since no active server is set. Yet it would print a lot of extra info that may or may not be useful. – Dima Chubarov Feb 12 '14 at 05:11
