[slurm-users] Issue with salloc

[Mahmood Naderan]

I tried the following command but it failed

[mahmood at rocks7 ~]$ srun --pty -u /bin/bash -l -a em1 -p IACTIVE --mem=4GB
srun: error: Unable to allocate resources: Invalid account or
account/partition combination specified
[mahmood at rocks7 ~]$ scontrol show partition IACTIVE
PartitionName=IACTIVE
   AllowGroups=ALL AllowAccounts=em1 AllowQos=ALL
   AllocNodes=rocks7 Default=NO QoS=N/A
   DefaultTime=NONE DisableRootJobs=NO ExclusiveUser=NO GraceTime=0 Hidden=NO
   MaxNodes=UNLIMITED MaxTime=UNLIMITED MinNodes=1 LLN=NO
MaxCPUsPerNode=UNLIMITED
