Hi Amjad, AccountingStorageUser is the user used to connect to the accounting database. If you have it defined in slurm.conf, it is ignored.
>From the output you showed, it says the user cjr13geu in the cluster >uea_cluster has access to the QoS. How are you adding the QoS to other users? The way you would do it would be sacctmgr modify account <accountname> user=<username> set qos+=gpu-rtx-reserved or sacctmgr modify account <accountname> set qos+=gpu-rtx-reserved if you want to give it to every user in <accountname> Sean ________________________________ From: slurm-users <slurm-users-boun...@lists.schedmd.com> on behalf of Amjad Syed <amjad...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, 31 August 2021 17:46 To: Slurm User Community List <slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com> Subject: Re: [slurm-users] [EXT] User association with partition and Qos External email: Please exercise caution ________________________________ Hi Sean Here is the output for gpu-rtx-reserved qos sacctmgr show account withassoc -p | grep gpu-rtx-reserved default|default|default|uea_cluster||cjr13geu|1|||||||||||||||gpu,gpu-k40-1,gpu-rtx,gpu-rtx-reserved,hmem,ht,uea_def_qos| sontrol show part gpu-rtx6000-2 PartitionName=gpu-rtx6000-2 AllowGroups=ALL AllowAccounts=ALL AllowQos=gpu-rtx,gpu-rtx-reserved,jakeuea AllocNodes=ALL Default=NO QoS=N/A DefaultTime=1-00:00:00 DisableRootJobs=NO ExclusiveUser=NO GraceTime=0 Hidden=NO MaxNodes=9 MaxTime=7-00:00:00 MinNodes=0 LLN=NO MaxCPUsPerNode=UNLIMITED Nodes=g[15-29] PriorityJobFactor=1 PriorityTier=1 RootOnly=NO ReqResv=NO OverSubscribe=NO OverTimeLimit=NONE PreemptMode=GANG,SUSPEND State=UP TotalCPUs=720 TotalNodes=15 SelectTypeParameters=NONE JobDefaults=(null) DefMemPerCPU=3996 MaxMemPerNode=UNLIMITED On a different note we have the following in slurm.conf AccountingStorageUser=slurm But we have been adding qos and assigning users as root ?

I mean users who have association with the qos can not submit job with sbatch, they get error as sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Invalid qos specification Do we need to make anymore changes in slurm.conf so that qos becomes permanent ?

Currently we have a partition with 30 GPU cards . We have defined a qos gpu-rtx that allows user to reserve 2 cards sacctmgr show qos gpu-rtx format=MaxTRESPU%60 MaxTRESPU ----------------------------------------------------- cpu=96,gres/gpu=2 We have defined a user test that is assoc with this qos sacctmgr show assoc user=test format=user,qos Qos gpu-rtx Now we define another qos gpu-rtx-reserved that allows gpu=8 sacctmgr show qos gpu-rtx-reserved format=MaxTRESPU%60 MaxTRESPU ----------------------------------------------------- cpu=192,gres/gpu=8 User test is not associated with gpu-rtx-reserved qos. So he should not be able to use more then gpu=2 . Both of these qos are now in slurm.conf for the partition parrtitionName=gpu-rtx6000-2 State=UP Nodes=g[15-29] MaxNodes=9 MaxTime=168:00:00 DefMemPerCPU=3996 AllowQos=gpu-rtx,gpu-rtx-reserved But we found out that even though user is not assoc with gpu-rtx-reserved if the user uses gpu-rtx-reserved in his slurm script , he can reserve 8 gpu cards So our question is , can the users assoc with one partition qos can use the other qos in the partition even if they are not associated with it . or in other words , we can only define one partition qos and not more then one.? Hope i was able to explain ? Any advice if we want partition to use more then one qos with different limits and users associated with one qos should not use other qos ? Majid
