[slurm-users] job stuck as pending - reason "PartitionConfig"

[Paul Brunk]

Hello Byron:

I’m guessing that your job is asking for more HW than the highmem_p
has in it, or more cores or RAM within a node than any of the nodes
have, or something like that.  'scontrol show job 10860160' might
help.  You can also look in slurmctld.log for that jobid.

[EXTERNAL SENDER - PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY]
Hi

When I try to submit a job to one of our partitions it just stay in the stay pending with the reason "PartitionConfig".  Can someone point me in the right direction for how to troubleshoot this?  I'm a bit stumpped.

Some details of the setup

The version is 19.05.7

This is the job that is stuck in state pending
             JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES NODELIST(REASON)
          10860160   highmem MooseBen byron PD       0:00     16 (PartitionConfig)

$ sinfo -p highmem
PARTITION AVAIL  TIMELIMIT  NODES  STATE NODELIST
highmem      up   infinite      1  drain intel-0012
highmem      up   infinite     19   idle intel-[0001-0011,0013-0020]
