this is exactly a problem for us. So, at the moment we customize an image of a VM (together with the user), add our user management and Slurm, and start this one as a new compute node. We then let handle Surm all the rest... But for this, we have to add manpower to the users request which restricts the number of different VMs. Regards, Ulf -- ___________________________________________________________________ Dr. Ulf Markwardt Technische Universität Dresden Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH) 01062 Dresden, Germany Phone: (+49) 351/463-33640 WWW: http://www.tu-dresden.de/zih
