Warner, Thanks for the idea. I'm uncertain if that's necessary since I don't see it set in other example slurm.conf files for systems that are using fairshare (e.g., stampede); however, I made the change you suggested in the slurm.conf then did an scontrol reconfig. The only effect was that now the FairShare value is always 0.0 instead of 1.0 for everyone (LevelFS is also 0.0). Still, then "NormUsage" column was completely blank and "Effective Usage" was always 0.0.
I also tried the following: Explicitly reset the "RawUsage" for every account back to 0, shutdown all slurm daemons including slurmdbd and restarted everything. Now everything seems to be working properly. I've no idea why, but I've reset the daemons many times before ... so it was either the RawUsage reset or the FAIR_TREE setting. Thanks for your help, Paul. > On Dec 11, 2015, at 08:10, Werner Saar <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I think, that you have to configure to parameter PriorityFlags > > example: > > PriorityFlags=FAIR_TREE > > Best regards > Werner > > On 12/11/2015 01:40 AM, Wiegand, Paul wrote: >> Greetings, >> >> I'm sure that I'm making an obvious rookie mistake, but I don't see it. >> >> I thought that I'd configured Fairshare per documentation; however, the >> fairshare values for everyone is always 1.0, which I believe is the case >> because the "Effective Usage" is always 0.0.
