Resource cannot be scheduled

How severe does this issue affect your experience of using Ray?

  • Low: It annoys or frustrates me for a moment.

Hi, everyone, thanks to the ray team, I am one step closer to the completion of the enhancements to my project, and here’s the situation.
I submit a task to cluster using a statement like this:

ray job submit --working-dir your_working_directory -- python script.py

and when I have a large task I get a WARNING, like this picture:

I have two questions:

  1. Following the hints in the documentation , I would also like to put the cpu to zero provided by head, but I do not know how to set.

  2. When I submit a task using ray submit, if I want to interrupt the execution of the task in the middle, how do I do it is the most appropriate, I currently use ctrl+z in the ssh control line to force stop task submission, but this will encounter a problem: is when this way to stop task submission, my ssh console (shell/bash) will become abnormally I used htop tool to check the cpu and memory usage, it is not high (about 20 percent), but the ssh operation input command becomes abnormally stuck, I input ray stop to terminate ray in a very stuck situation, after that it is immediately back to normal, no more stuck.

My head machine is a vm with 2 cpu and 8gb RAM, and the OS is ubuntu 22 LTS.

  1. Following the hints in the documentation , I would also like to put the cpu to zero provided by head, but I do not know how to set.

This should be set when you start a cluster. When you start the head node, you should have CLI command like ray start --head. You should add --num-cpus=0 to this command.

We recommend you to use the job submission API and ray job stop API for this. Quickstart using the Ray Jobs CLI — Ray 3.0.0.dev0

Thank you for your very accurate answer! Thank you for your time!

HI, about the second question reasons for getting stuck now I know why:
I should not use Ctrl+c to abort the process instead should use Ctrl+d Avoid Getting Stuck.
