[slurm-users] Preemption for licenses

[Carter, Allan]

If a job is pending only because it needs a license and all are being used, can it preempt jobs in a lower priority partition that are using the license? Or does preemption only work for compute resources. I've tried to configure preemption, but when I submit a job that used my only license and then submit a similar job to a high priority partition the higher priority job pends with reason "Licenses".

From: slurm.conf


PreemptMode = REQUEUE
PreemptType = preempt/partition_prio
PreemptExemptTime = 0

PartitionName=us-east-1a_all Default=YES PriorityTier=1 PreemptMode=REQUEUE Nodes=\
PartitionName=us-east-1a_all_interactive Default=NO PriorityTier=10001 PreemptMode=OFF Nodes=\
