[slurm-users] User limits for multiple associated accounts

[Mahmood Naderan]

Hi
I have added a user to multiple partitions. That account name actually
corresponds to a set of limitations which I define for a user.

[root at rocks7 ~]# sacctmgr list association
format=partition,account,user,grptres,maxwall
 Partition    Account       User       GrpTRES     MaxWall
---------- ---------- ---------- ------------- -----------
                 root
                 root       root
                  em1
   iactive        em1    mahmood  cpu=6,mem=8G 30-00:00:00
   plan1        em1    mahmood  cpu=6,mem=8G 30-00:00:00
              monthly
   plan2    monthly    mahmood cpu=32,mem=6+ 30-00:00:00
[root at rocks7 ~]# squeue -j 167
             JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES
NODELIST(REASON)
               167   PLAN1     test  mahmood  R    5:58:41      1 compute-0-3
[root at rocks7 ~]# squeue -j 167 -o %C
CPUS
6


As you see the user is running a job with the maximum core counts
allowed. Now, if I run

[mahmood at rocks7 Downloads]$ salloc -p IACTIVE -A em1
salloc: Pending job allocation 170
salloc: job 170 queued and waiting for resources

Which is pending for resources. I want to be sure that the pending is
REALLY related to reaching the maximum tres limits and NOT a
configuration problem.

Is that OK? Hope that I asked my question correctly ;)

Mahmood
