Re: sbatch: Node count specification invalid - when only specifying --ntasks

Noam, Thanks for the suggestion but no luck: sbatch -p multinode -n 80 --ntasks-per-core=1 --wrap="..." sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Node count specification invalid sbatch -p multinode -n 2 -c 40 --ntasks-per-core=1 --wrap="..." sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Node count specification invalid sbatch -p multinode -N 2 -n 80 --ntasks-per-core=1 --wrap="..."

cpu distribution question
by Alan Stange 08 Jun '24

08 Jun '24

All, I have a very simple slurm cluster. It's just a single system with 2 sockets and 16 cores in each socket. I would like to be able to submit a simple task into this cluster, and to have the cpus assigned to that task allocated round robin across the two sockets. Everything I try is putting all the cpus for this single task on the same socket. I have not specified any CpuBind options in the slurm.conf file. For example, if I try $ srun -c 4 --pty bash … [View More]

maxrss reported by sachet is wrong
by Feng Zhang 07 Jun '24

07 Jun '24

Hi All, I am having trouble calculating the real RSS memory usage by some kind of users' jobs. Which the sacct returned wrong numbers. Rocky Linux release 8.5, Slurm 21.08 (slurm.conf) ProctrackType=proctrack/cgroup JobAcctGatherType=jobacct_gather/linux The troubling jobs are like: 1. python spawn multithreading 96 threads; 2. Each thread uses SKlearn which again spawns 96 threads using openmp. Which is obviously over running the node, and I want to address it. The node has 300GB RAM, … [View More]

need to set From: address for slurm
by Vanhorn, Mike 07 Jun '24

07 Jun '24

All, When the slurm daemon is sending out emails, they are coming from “slurm(a)servername.subdomain.domain.edu<mailto:slurm@servername.subdomain.domain.edu>”. This has worked okay in the past, but due to a recent mail server change (over which I have no control whatsoever) this will no longer work. Now, the From: address is going to have to be something like “slurm-servername(a)domain.xn--edu-9o0a , or, at least something that ends in “(a)domain.xn--edu-9o0a (the subdomain being present … [View More]

Re: Not being able to ssh to node with running job
by Ratnasamy, Fritz 06 Jun '24

06 Jun '24

So the squeue issue was resolved and was due to the partition being hidden. Unhiding it solves the problem. However, the ssh issue remains (looks like both were separate issues). The pam_slurm_adopt is working on all the other nodes but not on the new ones. Any idea how to solve this?

Not being able to ssh to node with running job
by Ratnasamy, Fritz 06 Jun '24

06 Jun '24

As admin on the cluster, we do not observe any issue on our newly added gpu nodes. However, for regular users, they are not seeing their jobs running on these gpu nodes when running squeue -u <username> ( it is however showing as running status with sacct) and they are not able to ssh to these newly added nodes when they have a running job on it. I am not sure if these 2 are related (not being to ssh to mgpu node with a running job on it and not listing a job with squeue for a user on … [View More]

JWKS File Update - Reread File
by Pedro Daniel Da Rocha Santos 06 Jun '24

06 Jun '24

Hello everyone, I am currently implementing a service to monitor for jwks key rotation. If a change is detected, the jwks file is updated. Is it enough to use "scontrol reconfigure" to reread the jwks file? Or does it require a full restart of the slurmctl daemon? Thanks in advance for the inputs. Best regards, Pedro D.R.

diagnosing why interactive/non-interactive job waits are so long with State=MIXED
by Robert Kudyba 05 Jun '24

05 Jun '24

At the moment we have 2 nodes that are having long wait times. Generally this is when the nodes are fully allocated. What would be the other reasons if there is still enough available memory and CPU available, that a job would take so long? Slurm version is 23.02.4 via Bright Computing. Note the compute nodes have hyperthreading enabled but that should be irrelevant. Is there a way to determine what else could be holding jobs up? srun --pty -t 0-01:00:00 --nodelist=node001 --gres=gpu:1 -A … [View More]
