Hello all. Is it possible to reserve some nodes for being used for jobs only in a specific partition? Our mini-cluster will be used for some lessons, so it will need to run "immediately" the jobs submitted by students. A partition spanning the required nodes is already defined, but it overlaps with others. Since lessons only last 4 hours per day, 3 days a week, I hope I won't have to make those nodes unavailable to all the other partitions for the whole course duration... I tried using scontrol create reservation starttime=2018-04-12T16:00:00 duration=180 partition=hpc_atmos scontrol: error: Either Users or Accounts must be specified. No reservation created.
We're not using accounting, so I cannot use Accounts. And user names are yet undefined (comes from AD and could change between "now" and when lessons start...). -- Diego Zuccato Servizi Informatici Dip. di Fisica e Astronomia (DIFA) - Università di Bologna V.le Berti-Pichat 6/2 - 40127 Bologna - Italy tel.: +39 051 20 95786 mail: diego.zucc...@unibo.it
