Thanks for the pointer Jette.
Unfortunately I can't seem to get that working..
I have a test cluster set up with Licenses=node*24
I have a simple reservation defined using :
scontrol create reservation=test user=analysis licenses=node*3
starttime=now duration=infinite
which is verified using scontrol show reserv
ReservationName=test StartTime=2011-09-20T10:21:12
EndTime=2012-09-19T10:21:12 Duration=365-00:00:00
Nodes= NodeCnt=0 Features=(null) PartitionName=rsl Flags=
Users=analysis Accounts=(null) Licenses=node*3
However using:
srun --reservation=test --licenses=node myjob
gives:
srun: Requested reservation not usable now
srun: job 502 queued and waiting for resources
This is using Slurm 2.2.1, do I just need to upgrade to a newer version?
