AnswerJobs stuck in configuring state

    Hi,

    I am using microsoft APIs (Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler ) to submit jobs to HPC job scheduler. Our application is installed on 2 separate clusters. Both clusters are on different networks and different domains. Things are working well on one cluster, but on the other cluster the jobs submitted by our application get stuck in "Configuring" state.

    If I right click on the job which is in "Configuring" state (in the HPC cluster manager) and click submit job, it gets submitted but my application keeps waiting for a response.

    Any ideas what might be causing this behavior? Is it something related to permissions?  

    Thanks!
    Prashant

    It was my fault actually....the password while submitting the job was being parsed the wrong way...hence the job was stuck in configuring state...

    Have you installed HPC Pack SP1 on your head node?

    This can be due to credential issues; make sure you have up-to-date working credentials on your job.  You can do this by running "job modify /user:<username>"

    Thanks,
    Josh

    Thanks for the reply Josh!

    I have "2.1.1703.0" installed on the cluster. The HPC SP1 link seems to be broken (Top Picks section on the right of the page http://www.microsoft.com/hpc/en/us/default.aspx)

    yeah...I already tried job modify with my username/password...but it still doesn't go through...the username and password is already set to the correct value. 

    Any other suggestions related to credentials? I think credentials are working fine because of the fact that when I right click on the job and click Submit, it asks me for username/password and submits the job.
