Hi list,
I’m trying to enforce limits based on associations, but behavior is not as
expected.
In slurm.conf:
AccountingStorageEnforce=associations,limit,qos
Two partitions:
part1.q
part2.q
One user:
user1
One QOS:
qos1
MaxJobsPU is not set
I’d like to have an association for user 1 for each partition, with same qos
User Def Acct Admin Cluster Account Partition Share
Priority MaxJobs MaxNodes MaxCPUs MaxSubmit MaxWall MaxCPUMins
QOS Def QOS
---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------
---------- ------- -------- -------- --------- ----------- -----------
-------------------- ---------
user1 account1 None cl1 account1 part1.q 1
3
qos1
user1 account1 None cl1 account1 part2.q 1
4
qos1
User1 submit 6 jobs to part2.q:
4 start running
2 in pending(AssocMaxJobsLimit)
User1 submit 6 jobs to part1.q:
3 start running
3 in pending(AssocMaxJobsLimit)
This ok and expected behavior.
But when user1 submits 12 jobs like:
sbatch -p part1.q,part2.q slurm-job.sh
Only 3 jobs running on part1.q: association of part1.q
Other 9 jobs on AssocMaxJobsLimit
Why 4 jobs doesn’t start on part2.q?
Worst case(listing part2.q before part1.q):
sbatch -p part2.q,part1.q slurm-job.sh
4(!) jobs running on part1.q
Is it possible to allow user to submit to multiple partitions, and slurm picks
up correct association for each partition?
What I’m missing here?
Thanks,
Nizar
