[slurm-users] how to restrict jobs

[navin srivastava]

Hi Team,

we have an application whose licenses is limited .it scales upto 4
nodes(~80 cores).
so if 4 nodes are full, in 5th node job used to get fail.
we want to put a restriction so that the application can't go for the
execution beyond the 4 nodes and fail it should be in queue state.
i do not want to keep a separate partition to achieve this config.is there
a way to achieve this scenario using some dynamic resource which can call
the license variable on the fly and if it is reached it should keep the job
in queue.

Regards
Navin.
