Ticket 15352

Will,

Can you please submit your slurm.conf and slurmctld.log. Also could you provide the full output of these various commands?

1) sacctmgr show qos part_gpu (full output)
2) sacctmgr show assoc
3) scontrol show job <jobid> (on any job not obeying the limit)

Thank you,

Caden

Will,

In the slurmctld.log I see this:

error: This association 47(account='ml', user='hxia', partition='(null)') does not have access to qos normal

Looking at your sacctmgr show assoc output, I see that no assoc has access to the normal QOS, just the high and low. When you submit a job with srun without specifying a QOS, the default is the "normal" QOS. So they either need to specify which QOS (high or low) they are using in the srun submission line with --qos=<qos>, or you need to use sacctmgr to give everyone access to the default "normal" qos, which is probably preferable. 

After this, and uncommenting your "AccountingStorageEnforce=associations,limits,qos" line, you should be good to go. 

When users submit to a partition, their jobs should then be limited by the partition QOS first, as per our resource limit hierarchy.

Unrelated to your bug, I see that you have cpu_bind and gres debug flags enabled in your slurm.conf. This puts some extra strain on the controller and makes the slurmctld.logs huge. If you don't have an explicit need for those, I would suggest turning them off. This will make your slurmctld.logs more concise. 

Let me know if this answers your questions,

Caden Ellis

Is there a way to add “normal” qos to all associations at one, or must it be done on each association individually?

Will,



In the slurmctld.log I see this:



error: This association 47(account='ml', user='hxia', partition='(null)') does

not have access to qos normal



Looking at your sacctmgr show assoc output, I see that no assoc has access to

the normal QOS, just the high and low. When you submit a job with srun without

specifying a QOS, the default is the "normal" QOS. So they either need to

specify which QOS (high or low) they are using in the srun submission line with

--qos=<qos>, or you need to use sacctmgr to give everyone access to the default

"normal" qos, which is probably preferable.



After this, and uncommenting your

"AccountingStorageEnforce=associations,limits,qos" line, you should be good to

go.



When users submit to a partition, their jobs should then be limited by the

partition QOS first, as per our resource limit hierarchy.

You are receiving this mail because:

  *   You reported the bug.

Here is what I did, since all of my users are on the same cluster.

sacctmgr modify cluster cluster=<clustername> set qos+=normal

You could also change the default QOS so it doesn't use normal, if that more fits your needs.

Did this work for you Will?

Yes, with the application of "normal" qos to all associations, then applying the "AccountingStorageEnforce" directive, it seems like we are good now. Thanks for the assist!
(Also have tuned off the Debug on CPU/gres, thanks for that, I believe this was an earlier setting for another bug tshoot...)
