Hello,SLURM Support Team!

Please teach me how to prevent from performing a job, 
in a specific time zone. 

Can this method (function) be used by Slurm Version 2.6.5? 

When you cannot use this function by 2.6.5 versions,
please let me know whether there is any schedule to be 
supported in the future.

Best Regards..
Toru Matsuoka

I do not understand your question.

If you want to insure that a job runs at a particular time, you can use an advanced reservation as described here:
http://slurm.schedmd.com/reservations.html

Does that answer your question?

Hello,Jette-san!

Sorry,
I want you to teach a setting procedure which does not 
running a job in specific time. 

Best Regards..
Toru Matsuoka

Comment 3 Moe Jette 2014-07-02 06:15:44 MDT

Your only options are advanced reservations or setting the earliest time at which the job can begin. See the description of --begin on the sbatch man page. A pending job's begin time can also be changed using the scontrol command.

Comment 4 Moe Jette 2014-07-02 06:17:22 MDT

This is a bit complex, but you could create a slurm license, called for example "TZ1", make the job require that license, and reserve the license in the time that you want to prevent the job from running.

Hello,jette-san!

Thanks for quick response.

That I need to be licensed of this setting understood. 

How is this license created? 

Is this license a charge? 

If there is a license creation manual, please teach me the location of manual.

Best Regards..

I strongly recommend that when you want documentation you start by using the google search bar on the top of all of our web pages.

Hello,Jette-san!

I understand. 

The license creation procedure is checked from the web page 
of your company.
