Hi I have added a user to multiple partitions. That account name actually corresponds to a set of limitations which I define for a user.
[root@rocks7 ~]# sacctmgr list association format=partition,account,user,grptres,maxwall Partition Account User GrpTRES MaxWall ---------- ---------- ---------- ------------- ----------- root root root em1 iactive em1 mahmood cpu=6,mem=8G 30-00:00:00 plan1 em1 mahmood cpu=6,mem=8G 30-00:00:00 monthly plan2 monthly mahmood cpu=32,mem=6+ 30-00:00:00 [root@rocks7 ~]# squeue -j 167 JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES NODELIST(REASON) 167 PLAN1 test mahmood R 5:58:41 1 compute-0-3 [root@rocks7 ~]# squeue -j 167 -o %C CPUS 6 As you see the user is running a job with the maximum core counts allowed. Now, if I run [mahmood@rocks7 Downloads]$ salloc -p IACTIVE -A em1 salloc: Pending job allocation 170 salloc: job 170 queued and waiting for resources Which is pending for resources. I want to be sure that the pending is REALLY related to reaching the maximum tres limits and NOT a configuration problem. Is that OK? Hope that I asked my question correctly ;) Regards, Mahmood
