Hi Navin,
I wonder if you have configured the Slurm database and the slurmdbd
daemon? I think the limit enforcement requires the use of the database.
What is the output of:
$ scontrol show config | grep AccountingStorageEnforce
See also https://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html#limit-enforcement
Limit Enforcement
Various limits and limit enforcement are described in the Resource Limits
web page.
To enable any limit enforcement you must at least have
AccountingStorageEnforce=limits in your slurm.conf, otherwise, even if you
have limits set, they will not be enforced. Other options for
AccountingStorageEnforce and the explanation for each are found on the
Resource Limits document.

Hi ole,
i am submitting 100 of jobs are i see all jobs starting at the same time
and all job is going into the run state.
if Maxjobs limit is set it should allow only 3 jobs at any point of time.
Regards
Navin.

Hi Navin,
Why do you think the limit is not working? The MaxJobs limits the number
of running jobs to 3, but you can still submit as many jobs as you like!
See "man sacctmgr" for definitions of the limits MaxJobs as well as
MaxSubmitJobs.
