How does one assign a QOS to a partition? This is mentioned several
different places in the Slurm documentation, but nowhere does it explain
exactly how to do this.
You can assign a QOS to a partition in slurm.conf like this:
PartitionName=mypartition Nodes=node[001-100] QOS=myqos
But that doesn't seem to really do much. And the explanation for
defining a QOS in a partition definition, while rather vague, seems to
state as much:
*QOS*
Used to extend the limits available to a QOS on a partition. Jobs
will not be associated to this QOS outside of being associated to
the partition. They will still be associated to their requested
QOS. By default, no QOS is used. *NOTE:* If a limit is set in both
the Partition's QOS and the Job's QOS the Partition QOS will be
honored unless the Job's QOS has the *OverPartQOS* flag set in
which the Job's QOS will have priority.
If I want to have every job that requests the partition "mypartition"
use the QOS "myqos", how do I do that?
Also, can someone please explain to me the explanation of the QOS field
in the partition definition I quoted above?
