I am trying to configure the latest slurm 14.03 and am running into
problem to prevent slurm from running jobs on the control node.
sinfo shows 3 nodes configure in the slurm.conf:
active up 2:00:00 1 down* hpc-0-5
active up 2:00:00 1 mix hpc-0-4
active up 2:00:00 1 idle hpc-0-6
but when I use salloc I end up on the head node
$ salloc -N 1 -p active sh
salloc: Granted job allocation 16
sh-4.1$ hostname
hpcdev-005.sdsc.edu
That node is not part of the "active" partition but slurm still uses it.
How? The allocation btw is for NodeList=hpc-0-4
and the user can login to that node without a problem but slurm doesn't
run the sh on that node for the user.
Also how can a user find out what nodes are allocated without having to
run the scontrol command? Is there an option in salloc to return the
host names?
Thanks
Eva
