You can set MinTRESPerJob in a QOS and then only allow that QOS ni
that partition.
Or have a set of QOS for that partition that have that set...
I'm not sure if a partition QOS would help here, but it could,
basically forcing that QOS on all jobs in the partition.
I've found that debugging lua job submit plugins using slurm.user_msg
can make it easier with things like this:
if submit_uid==1000 and not job_desc.script then
slurm.user_msg("Have fun debugging!")
slurm.log_info("Save this in the slurm log")
end
I've considered multiple options for a job submit plugin that
autoselects QOS and/or partitions as well as defaulting to multiple
partitions as you suggest, but I haven't settled on a solution yet.
It would be nice if slurm could run through a prioritized list of QOS
or partitions and select the first fit. SGE did this.
Or if there was a way in the job submit plugin to test if the current
job's TRES fits a particular QOS/partition...
