I'm using slurm 2.3.4 and yes all of them running in different nodes. And no, I don't get any error if I submit a job requesting 9 nodes.
Thanks for your help! Best !

What version of slurm are you using? If you try to submit a job requesting 9 nodes do you get an error?

I guess that what I wanted was GrpNodes, I set them now $ sudo sacctmgr modify user nluque account=tcvu set GrpNodes=8 then I restart slurm as before and nothing change I still can run 12 jobs in different nodes. Then I change AccountingStorageEnforce=limits,qos And restart slurm. But still, nothing changed What am I missing? Thanks a lot for your help!!!

It looks fine to me, but then... I then submit 9-10 works and all of them were running, so, I don’t know what else to do. Are you trying to set the maximum number of nodes *per job*? In that case, MaxNodes seem to be the right limit, as per the sacctmgr man page: MaxNodes=<max nodes> Maximum number of nodes each job is able to use in this association. [...] Are you trying to set a maximum number of nodes for all jobs? Then GrpNodes could be what you are looking for instead? GrpNodes=<max nodes> Maximum number of nodes running jobs are able to be allocated in aggregate for this association and all associations which are children of this association.
