[Beowulf] Running on headnode only.

[David Havery]

Good day and thank you all very much for your time,

I have a single node cluster, that is, a headnode and a slave node.  I'd 
like to be able to use qsub to queue a job to use only the headnode.  
I've attached my queue information at the bottom of this mail as well as 
the job script.

The changes that I've made so far are:
create node master np=2,ntype=time-shared,properties="headnode"
changed to:
create node master np=2,ntype=cluster,properties="headnode"

and in the jobscript changed:
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1
to
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1:headnode

Now when I run the attached job script, the error I get is:
qsub: Job exceeds queue resource limits

This is my job script (much of it is unimportant but here's the whole 
thing):
----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
### Number of nodes 1 nodes using 1 Processor Per Node
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1:headnode
### Example: to request 2 VPs on each of 3 nodes and 1 VPs on 2 more nodes
## #PBS -l nodes=3:ppn=2+2:ppn=1
### Output files. If not specified PBS uses the job name and ID.
###PBS -o output-mytorquejob.log
###PBS -e output-mytorquejob.err
### Merge stderr with stdout
#PBS -j oe
### Mail to user
#PBS -m eb
### Queue name
#PBS -q default
### Job name
#PBS -N PBS_AOUT_Test
### Declare job-non-rerunable
#PBS -r n

echo Job ID: $PBS_JOBID
echo Working directory is $PBS_O_WORKDIR
cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
echo Running on host `hostname`

echo This job runs on the following processors:
echo `cat $PBS_NODEFILE`

#Define number of processors
NPROCS=`wc -l < $PBS_NODEFILE`
echo This job has allocated $NPROCS nodes/processors.
