Hi I am just building my first Slurm setup and have got everything running - well, almost.
I have a two node configuration. All of my setup exists on a single HyperV server and I have divided up the resources to create my VMs One node I will use for heavy duty work; this is called compute001 One node I will use for normal work; this is called compute002 My compute node specification in slurm.conf is NodeName=DEFAULT CPUs=1 RealMemory=1000 State=UNKNOWN NodeName=compute001 CPUs=32 NodeName=compute002 CPUs=2 The partition specification is PartitionName=DEFAULT State=UP PartitionName=interactive Nodes=compute002 MaxTime=INFINITE OverSubscribe=FORCE PartitionName=simulation Nodes=compute001 MaxTime=30 OverSubscribe=FORCE I have added the OverSubscribe=FORCE option as I want more than one job to be able to land on my interactive/simulation queues. All of the nodes and cluster master start up fine and they all talk to each other but no matter what I do, I cannot get my cluster to accept more than one job per node. Can you help me determine where I am going wrong? Thanks a lot Jake The entire slurm.conf is pasted below # slurm.conf file generated by configurator.html.
