I have a user who is trying to exclude some hosts from their job submission and was using –exclude to accomplish this. He claims that he was able to do this in the past and the man pages state that –exclude is an option but when we include that argument, we receive the following error: zentz@diamond(~)% sbatch testsumit.sh sbatch: error: Invalid argument: —-exclude=bc1node1 zentz@diamond(~)% Here is a copy of the “testsubmit.sh” #!/bin/bash #SBATCH —-exclude=bc1node1 srun echo "test" Is the exclude option only for specific cluster types or is there something else going awry?
