[slurm-users] ulimit in sbatch script

[Mahmood Naderan]

Hi,
The user can run "ulimit -v VALUE" on the frontend. However, when I
put that command in a slurm script, it says that operation is not
permitted by the user!

[hamid at rocks7 case1_source2]$ ulimit -v 82089600
[hamid at rocks7 case1_source2]$ cat slurm_script.sh
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=hvacSteadyFoam
#SBATCH --output=hvac.log
#SBATCH --ntasks=32
#SBATCH --time=100:00:00
#SBATCH --mem=64000M
ulimit -v 82089600
ulimit -a
mpirun hvacSteadyFoam -parallel
[hamid at rocks7 case1_source2]$ sbatch slurm_script.sh

Any idea?
