[slurm-users] [EXT] User association with partition and Qos

[Sean Crosby]

What does sacctmgr show for the user you added to have access to the QoS, and what does Slurm show for the partition config?

sacctmgr show account withassoc -p
scontrol show part gpu-rtx6000-2

Hello me again

Just found out that when our slurmctld restarts all qos are gone.

I mean users who have association with the qos can not submit job with sbatch, they get error as

sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Invalid qos specification


Do we need to make anymore changes in slurm.conf so that qos becomes permanent ?

Hi Amjad,

Make sure you have qos in the config entry AccountingStorageEnforce

e.g.

AccountingStorageEnforce=associations,limits,qos,safe

Hello all

We are having an issue understanding user association and partition.

Currently we have a partition with 30 GPU cards .

We have defined a qos gpu-rtx that allows user to reserve 2 cards


sacctmgr show qos gpu-rtx format=MaxTRESPU%60

                                                   MaxTRESPU

       -----------------------------------------------------

                                           cpu=96,gres/gpu=2




We have defined a user test that is assoc with this qos


sacctmgr show assoc user=test format=user,qos


Qos

gpu-rtx



Now we define another qos  gpu-rtx-reserved  that allows gpu=8


sacctmgr show qos gpu-rtx-reserved format=MaxTRESPU%60

                                                   MaxTRESPU

       -----------------------------------------------------

                                           cpu=192,gres/gpu=8

User test is not associated with gpu-rtx-reserved qos. So he should not be able to use more then gpu=2 .
Both of these qos are now in slurm.conf for the partition


parrtitionName=gpu-rtx6000-2 State=UP Nodes=g[15-29] MaxNodes=9 MaxTime=168:00:00 DefMemPerCPU=3996 AllowQos=gpu-rtx,gpu-rtx-reserved



But we found out that even though user is not assoc with gpu-rtx-reserved if the user uses gpu-rtx-reserved  in his slurm script , he can reserve 8 gpu cards


So our question is , can the users assoc with one partition qos can use the other qos in the partition  even if they are not associated with it . or in other words , we can only define one partition qos and not more then one.?


Hope i was able to explain ?


Any advice if we want partition to use more then one qos with different limits and users associated with one qos should not use other qos ?
