<p>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. <br>
</p>
<p>You can assign a QOS to a partition in slurm.conf like this: <br>
</p>
<p>PartitionName=mypartition Nodes=node[001-100] QOS=myqos <br>
</p>
<p>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: <br>
</p>
<p>
<blockquote type="cite">
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><b>QOS</b></dt>
<dd>
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.
<b>NOTE:</b> 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
<b>OverPartQOS</b> flag set in which the Job's QOS will have
priority.
</dd>
</dl>
</blockquote>
</p>
<p>If I want to have every job that requests the partition
"mypartition" use the QOS "myqos", how do I do that? <br>
</p>
<p>Also, can someone please explain to me the explanation of the QOS
field in the partition definition I quoted above? <br>
