[slurm-dev] Re: Select of shared nodes

[jette]

Configure the shared nodes with a higher Weight value. See:
http://slurm.schedmd.com/slurm.conf.html

Quoting zxia...@mail.ustc.edu.cn:

Hello everyone,

I am setting up a shared system with two partitions and three nodes. I want both the partitions keep one node as a exclusive resource, and share the remaining node.

#slurm.conf
PartitionName=P1 Nodes=node[1-2]
PartitionName=P2 Nodes=node[2-3]

But how can I ensure that the partitions use their own node first instead of using the nodes in the order of number? Namely a one-node job assigned to P2 must allocate node3 before node2. Is that possible?

Thanks.
