[slurm-users] QoS settings in sacctmgr requires restarting slurmctld to take effect

[Jianwen Wei]

Hi,

        I am using SLURM 17.11 on CentOS 7. I find that QoS settings, say 
GrpNodes for an account, in sacctmgr requires restarting slurmcltd to take 
effect. Restarting slurmctld may hang slurm service for 15secs~60secs, which is 
annoying if QoS settings are configured several times a day dynamically. 

        Is there an alternative approach to make QoS take effect without 
restarting slurmctld?

Thank you!
