Dear Slurm Mailing List,

I am experiencing a problem which affects our cluster and for which I am completely out of ideas by now, so I would like to ask the community for hints or ideas.

We run a partition on our cluster containing multiple nodes with Nvidia A100 GPUs (40GB), which we have sliced up using Nvidia Multi-Instance GPUs (MIG) into one 3g.20gb slice and two 2g.10gb slices per GPU.

Now, when submitting a job to it and requesting the 3g.20gb slice (like with "srun -p mig-partition -G 3g.20gb:1 hostname"), the job runs fine, but when a job requests one of the 2g.10gb slices instead (like with "srun -p mig-partition -G 2g.10gb:1 hostname"), the job does not get scheduled and the controller repeatedly outputs the error:

slurmctld[28945]: error: _set_job_bits1: job 4780824 failed to find any available GRES on node 1471 slurmctld[28945]: error: gres_select_filter_select_and_set job 4780824 failed to satisfy gres-per-job counter

Our cluster uses the AutoDetect=nvml feature for the nodes in the gres.conf and both slice types are defined in "AccountingStorageTRES" and in the GRES parameter of the node definition. The slurmd on the node also finds both types of slices and reports the correct amounts. They are also visible in the "Gres=" section of "scontrol show node", again in correct amounts.

I have also ensured that the nodes are not used otherwise by creating a reservation on them accessible only to me, and I have restarted all slurmd's and the slurmctld.

By now, I am out of ideas. Does someone here have a suggestion on what else I can try? Has someone already seen this error and knows more about it?

Thank you very much in advance and
best regards,
Timon
