[Beowulf] can't use both processors on each node

hi all,
we have a microway 10-node cluster (2 processors on each node) with
OpenPBS and MAUI scheduler installed. I can submit a MPI job through
qsub but encountered some strange problems. Would somebody kindly give
me some hints. Thanks
1. I can only use 1 cpu on 1 node when submitting a job.
I tried the following in my script but failed.
#PBS -l nodes=2:ppn=2
mpirun -np 4 ./oceanM
I attach the /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/nodes and "pbsnodes -a" below.
Is the configuaration correct (np=2) ?
2. Every time we submit a job, the master node will be used, which
should not happen.
Here is the output of /var/spool/pbs/server_priv/nodes
node2 np=2
node3 np=2
node4 np=2
node5 np=2
node6 np=2
node7 np=2
node8 np=2
node9 np=2
node10 np=2
Here is the output of "pbsnodes -a"
node2
state = free
np = 2
ntype = cluster
node3
state = free
np = 2
ntype = cluster
node4
state = free
np = 2
ntype = cluster
node5
state = free
np = 2
ntype = cluster
node6
state = free
np = 2
ntype = cluster
node7
state = free
np = 2
ntype = cluster
node8
state = free
np = 2
ntype = cluster
node9
state = free
np = 2
ntype = cluster
node10
state = free
np = 2
ntype = cluster
