Hi PBS community @adarsh @bhroam

The PBS job scheduler stops immediate and and says job completed . This only happens when I use a particular node. All other nodes work fine. I removed the database but still the issue persists. I will be happy to get advice on what may be wrong. Thanks

Hi @vincent718 ,

Could you please share more details

- pbsnodes -av
- scheduler logs with verbose
- server logs with verbose
- sched\_config
- qstat -Bf
- qmgr -c ‘p s’

1. Did you try deleting that node and re-adding that node?
2. Did you get a chance to re-install the pbs\_mom on that compute node ?
3. Is the pbs\_mom version and the server/scheduler version the same ?

AFAIK，if the homedir for the user is not exist, and you are running under sandbox=home, the job will fail immediately.
