[slurm-users] Option for remote licenses to be case sensitive in slurm ?

[Tager, Alexey]

Hi Ahmet,

I know that slurm isn't integrated with FlexLM, but just wondered why sacctmgr writing licenses in lower case,
despite database itself supports upper case too.
And maybe there is some configuration parameter to change it ...

Thank you
Alexey

Hi;

The Slurm license feature is just a simple counter, not more than that.
It can not connect to the license server to read or update the licenses.
Slurm only count used license and subtract from setted license count. If result is zero, does not run new jobs. The license feature names and slurm license names may not be same. The slurm license name is just a string for your understant. You can set amba-vis for  Amba-Vis-ttt1. If you (or other users) can understand both names are about same feature, it will work.

Regards,

Ahmet M.
