Hello,

When CycleCloud create a new VM (Standard\_D2ds\_v5), pcpus = 2, resources\_available.ncpus = 2 and later resources\_available.ncpus = 1:

ip-0A582E86  
Mom = ip-0a582e86  
Port = 15002  
pbs\_version = 22.05.11  
ntype = PBS  
state = free  
**pcpus = 2**  
resources\_available.arch = linux

resources\_available.vnode = ip-0A582E86  
resources\_assigned.accelerator\_memory = 0kb  
resources\_assigned.hbmem = 0kb  
resources\_assigned.mem = 0kb  
resources\_assigned.naccelerators = 0  
**resources\_assigned.ncpus = 0**  
resources\_assigned.vmem = 0kb  
comment = cyclecloud restored  
resv\_enable = True  
sharing = default\_shared  
license = l  
last\_state\_change\_time = Wed May 29 **13:47:40 2024**

Any idea?

Reference: RG-322 PBS Professional 2022.1 Reference Guide, RG-322

resources\_available. : The list of resources and the amounts  
available on this vnode. If not explicitly set, the amount shown is that reported by  
the pbs\_mom running on this vnode. If a resource value is explicitly set, that value  
is retained across restarts

pcpus: Deprecated. The number of physical CPUs on thisvnode. This is set to the number of CPUs  
available when MoM starts. For a multiple-vnode MoM, only the parent vnode has pcpus.

You can always set the resources\_available.ncpus= using qmgr command.  
If in case this has been explicity set using qmgr command, then please check the server logs.

Please check the script or command , that creates the compute node
