Something to try . . If you restart “slurmctld” does the new QOS apply?
We had a situation where slurmdbd was running as a different user than slurmctld and hence sacctmgr changes weren’t being reflected in slurmctld. -greg On 27 Apr 2020, at 12:57, Simon Andrews <simon.andr...@babraham.ac.uk<mailto:simon.andr...@babraham.ac.uk>> wrote: I’m trying to use QoS limits to dynamically change the number of CPUs a user is allowed to use on our cluster. As far as I can see I’m setting the appropriate GrpTRES=cpu value and I can read that back, but then jobs are being stopped before the user has reached that limit. In squeue I see loads of lines like: 166599 normal nf-BISMARK_(288) auser PD 0:00 1 (QOSMaxCpuPerUserLimit) ..but if I run: squeue -t running -p normal --format="%.12u %.2t %C " Then the total for that user is 288 cores, but in the QoS configuration they should be allowed more. If I run: sacctmgr show user WithAssoc format=user%12,GrpTRES ..then I get: auser cpu=512 What am I missing? Why is ‘auser’ not being allowed to use all 512 of their allowed CPUs before the QOS limit is kicking in? Thanks for any help you can offer. Simon.
