Hello Arielle,
I don't have a full answer, but here is a start:
Yes, you first need at least
"AccountingStorageEnforce=associations,limits" (and qos is you want to
use it) so that the limits you set are enforced (see
https://slurm.schedmd.com/resource_limits.html)
Then you can set limits for each user eg with "sacctmgr modify account
where account=<account> set MaxJobs=50" to set the max number of jobs
for each of the users of this account (replace <account> as needed).
Then maybe set it for a single user: "sacctmgr modify account where
account=<account> user=<user> set MaxJobs=500".
You can check what is set with "sacctmgr show associations", and remove
what has been set by setting it to -1.
I hope this helps,
Colas

Hi,
slurm is installed in a minimal configuration for a cluster of
3000cores/170 nodes.We have 4 partitions, one for each type of nodes;
each partition is available for all users.
We want to prevent each user from taking more than 1000 cores running
on up to 50 jobs on all the cluster, and I'm looking for guidance on
how we should do so.
I have already read a lot of documentation about it , i tried but i
have no result
- Below a list of some config parameters :
ClusterName=cluster
# Accounting.
AccountingStorageType=accounting_storage/slurmdbd
AccountingStorageUser=slurm
#AccountingStorageEnforce=qos,limits
#AccountingStoragePass=
#AccountingStoragePort=
EnforcePartLimits=YES
# SCHEDULING
SchedulerType=sched/backfill
# Consumable Resource
SelectType=select/cons_res
SelectTypeParameters=CR_Core
- about the config in the slurmDB , there are not many things, only
account root and only user root
sacctmgr show account
Account Descr Org
---------- -------------------- --------------------
root default root account root
I have tried : sacctmgr modify cluster set GrpTRES=cpu=1040
but it does not work !
What is wrong ?
Did we need to uncomment the parameter AccountingStorageEnforce ?
Did we need to define all the users ?
Can someone show the way to proceed?
Thanks for your help
A Willm
