The SLURM environment variables with hostname information will refer to the SLURM hostnames rather than the actual hostnames. That will prevent most MPI implementations from working, but it should work fine for testing resource allocations.
Quoting Aaron Knister <[email protected]>:
Hi All, I'm going to be testing some scheduler policy changes and my initial attempt at setting up a ton of VMs was proving to be a hassle. I was thinking instead of using the multiple slurmd support. The docs mention that not all slurm functions work with multiple slurmd support enabled. Is it likely that any of the functions that don't work with multiple slurmd support would adversely impact my policy testing? Specifically I'm looking to test fair-share and some qos settings. Thanks! -Aaron
