I tried that, and it says the nodes have been allocated, but it never comes to an apptainer prompt.
I then tried doing them in separate steps. Doing salloc works, I get a prompt on the node that was allocated. I can then run "singularity shell <sif>" and get the apptainer prompt. If I prefix that command with "srun", then it just hangs and I never get the prompt. So that seems to be the sticking point. I'll have to do some experiments running singularity with srun. ________________________________ From: slurm-users <slurm-users-boun...@lists.schedmd.com> on behalf of Jeffrey T Frey <f...@udel.edu> Sent: Tuesday, February 7, 2023 6:16 PM To: Slurm User Community List <slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com> Subject: Re: [slurm-users] slurm and singularity You don't often get email from f...@udel.edu. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> The remaining issue then is how to put them into an allocation that is actually running a singularity container. I don't get how what I'm doing now is resulting in an allocation where I'm in a container on the submit node still! Try prefixing the singularity command with "srun" e.g. salloc <salloc-parameters> srun <srun-parameters> /usr/bin/singularity shell <path to sif>
