[slurm-users] 4 sockets but "

[Diego Zuccato]

Hello all.

It's been since yesterday that I'm facing this issue.
I'm configuring 3 new quad-socket nodes defined as:
NodeName=str957-mtx-[20-22] Sockets=4 CoresPerSocket=24 \
    RealMemory=1160347 Weight=8 Feature=ib,matrix,intel,avx

But scontrol show node str957-mtx-20 reports:
NodeName=str957-mtx-20 CoresPerSocket=1
[...]
    RealMemory=1160347 AllocMem=0 FreeMem=N/A Sockets=2 Boards=1
    MemSpecLimit=2048
    State=DOWN*+DRAIN ThreadsPerCore=2 TmpDisk=0 Weight=8 Owner=N/A 
MCS_label=N/A
    Partitions=m3
    BootTime=None SlurmdStartTime=None
    CfgTRES=cpu=4,mem=1160347M,billing=2783
    AllocTRES=
    CapWatts=n/a
    CurrentWatts=0 LowestJoules=0 ConsumedJoules=0
    ExtSensorsJoules=n/s ExtSensorsWatts=0 ExtSensorsTemp=n/s
    Reason=Low socket*core*thread count, Low CPUs

The only thing that's right is that ThreadsPerCore=2 ...
The last block from "cat /proc/cpuinfo" on the node reports:

power management:

I already tried changing the line to cheat (telling it there are only 2 
sockets with 24 cores, thus reducing to half node) but nothing changed. 
I restarted slurmctld after every change in slurm.conf just to be sure.
Any idea?

Tks.
