Description Jonathon Anderson 2018-05-14 11:17:17 MDT 
This user would like to cancel his array job 796729.

[root@slurm5 ~]# squeue -u luev6784
             JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES NODELIST(REASON)

            915116      smem      gad luev6784  R 1-01:04:46      1 smem0501

          796729_4      smem       LD luev6784 RH       0:00      1 (JobHoldMaxRequeue)

          796729_6      smem       LD luev6784 RH       0:00      1 (JobHoldMaxRequeue)
          796729_7      smem       LD luev6784 RH       0:00      1 (JobHoldMaxRequeue)

But scancel as both the user and an admin fails.


[root@slurm5 ~]# scancel 796729

[2018-05-14T11:15:47.377] _slurm_rpc_kill_job: job_str_signal() job 796729 sig 9 returned Invalid job id specified


[root@slurm5 ~]# scancel 796729_2

[2018-05-14T11:15:50.517] _slurm_rpc_kill_job: job_str_signal() job 796729_2 sig 9 returned Invalid job id specified

Please advise.

Hi Jonathon,

This bug has been fixed in 17.11.4.  For an explanation of the problem and its solution, you can look at bug 4833.

I am going to close this bug as a duplicate, but should the fix in 17.11.4 not solve your problem, please comment here/reopen this ticket.

Regards,
Isaac
