Hi,
Today I ran into a cluster error on our local instance using latest galaxy-dist and torque/pbs with the python-pbs binding.
Under heavy load of the galaxy process, it appears that the handler processes failed to contact the pbs-server, although the pbs_server was still up and running. after that, a lot of the following statements kept appearing in the handler.log file:
galaxy.jobs.runners.pbs DEBUG 2012-07-11 17:39:06,649 (11647/12788.pbs_master_address) Skipping state check because PBS server connection failed
After restarting the galaxy process (run.sh), everything worked again, with no changes to the pbs_server.
Would it be possible to setup some checks for this failure? Like: - contact system admin - restart galaxy - auto retry job submission after a while as to not crash workflows.
Hi Geert, It'd be useful to retry submission rather than fail. I doubt we'll get to it soon, but would welcome any submissions that did this. Is restarting Galaxy absolutely necessary, or will job submission begin to succeed again after load goes down? --nate
best regards,
Geert Vandeweyer
