[slurm-users] Add partition to existing user association

[Dori Sajdak]

Hi Thekla,

When it comes to partitions, I believe you need to specify the cluster so in your example:

sacctmgr modify user thekla account=ops set partition=gpu where cluster=YourClusterName

QOS is not tied to a specific cluster but partitions are.  That should work for you.

Subject: [slurm-users] Add partition to existing user association

Dear all,

I was wondering if there is a way to add a partition to an existing user association.

For example if I have an association of user thekla to an account ops I can set a qos for the existing association:

sacctmgr modify user thekla account=ops set qos=nosubmit
  Modified user associations...
   C = cyclamen   A = ops                  U = thekla

However, I cannot set a partition:

sacctmgr modify user thekla account=ops set partition=gpu
  Unknown option: partition=gpu
  Use keyword 'where' to modify condition

This is not possible?

The only solution I found to that is to delete the association and create it again with the partition:

sacctmgr del user thekla account=ops

sacctmgr add user thekla account=ops partition=gpu

Thank you,

Thekla
