Re: [slurm-users] help with canceling or deleteing a job
Even after rebooting, sometimes nodes are stuck because of "completing jobs". What helps then is to set the node down and resume it afterwards: scontrol update nodename= state=drain reason=stuck; scontrol update nodename= state=resume Best Marcus Am 20.09.2023 um 09:11 schrieb Ole Holm Nielsen: On 9/20/23 01:39, Feng Zhang wrote: Restarting the slurmd dameon of the compute node should work, if the node is still online and normal.

Restarting the slurmd dameon of the compute node should work, if the node is still online and normal.

The Completing status is explained in "man sinfo". This means that Slurm is trying to cancel the job, but it hangs for some reason. I'm trying to cancel it [@arc7-node ~]# scancel 1808851 I get no message as if the job was canceled but when getting information about the job, the job is still there [@arc7-node ~]# squeue | grep awn-047 1808851 debug gridjob atlas01 CG 4-00:00:19 1 awn-047 What is your UnkillableStepTimeout parameter? The default of 60 seconds can be changed in slurm.conf. My cluster: $ scontrol show config | grep UnkillableStepTimeout UnkillableStepTimeout = 126 sec Can I do any other thinks to kill end the job? It may be impossible to kill the job's processes, for example, if a filesystem is hanging. You may log in to the node and give the job's processes a "kill -9". Or just reboot the node. /Ole
