Hi, On the Slurm FAQ page
https://slurm.schedmd.com/faq.html it says the following: 52. How critical is configuring high availability for my database? Consider if you really need mysql failover. Short outage of slurmdbd is not a problem, because slurmctld will store all data in memory and send it to slurmdbd when it's back operating. The slurmctld daemon will also cache all user limits and fair share information. I was wondering how long a "short outage" can be. Presumably this is determined by the amount of free memory on the server running slurmctld, the number of jobs, and the amount of memory required per job. So roughly how much memory will be required per job? Cheers, Loris -- Dr. Loris Bennett (Mr.) ZEDAT, Freie Universität Berlin Email [email protected]
