Hi, Some while ago I defined several QOS thus:
Name Priority MaxWall MaxJobs MaxSubmit ---------- ---------- ----------- ------- --------- normal 0 short 100000 03:00:00 10 20 medium 10000 3-00:00:00 100 200 long 1000 14-00:00:00 This worked OK with Slurm 17.02.7 and previous versions. The default QOS for all users was 'long' and all users were able to use both 'short' and 'medium'. Recently, still using version 17.02.7, I added a restriction on the number of cores per user thus: Name Priority MaxWall MaxJobs MaxSubmit MaxTRESPU ---------- ---------- ----------- ------- --------- ------------- normal 0 short 100000 03:00:00 10 20 cpu=20 medium 10000 3-00:00:00 100 200 cpu=200 long 1000 14-00:00:00 However, now users are unable to use 'short' and 'medium' as the following error is produces by 'sbatch': sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Invalid qos specification Deleting the MaxTRESPerUser settings does not fix the problem. My assumption is that that some change in this or a previous version was made in the way QOS can be accessed by associations, but this change has only now manifested itself after the QOS have been updated. Can anyone confirm this? Cheers, Loris -- Dr. Loris Bennett (Mr.) ZEDAT, Freie Universität Berlin Email loris.benn...@fu-berlin.de
