[slurm-users] Elastic Compute

[Brian Haymore]

I re-read the docs and I was wrong on the default behavior.  The default is "no" which just means don't oversubcribe the individual resources where I thought it was default to 'exclusive'.  So I think I've been taking us down a dead end in terms of what I thought might help. :\


I have a system her that we are running with the elastic setup but there we are doing exclusive (and it's sent that way in the conf) scheduling so I've not run into the same circumstances you have.

But the jobs _do_ share a node when the resources become available, it's just
that the cloud part of Slurm is bringing up the wrong number of nodes compared
to what it will actually use.
