[Ekhi-users] New ekhi partition and time limits

[Inigo Aldazabal Mensa]

Hi all,

As by Ion request I modified Ekhi default partition time limit and
added a new partition with no time limit (no present jobs have been
affected by this, this will only apply to newly submitted jobs):

[inigo en ekhi ~]$ sinfo -s
PARTITION AVAIL  TIMELIMIT   NODES(A/I/O/T)  NODELIST
all*         up 2-00:00:00        28/0/0/28  ekhi[1-28]
long         up   infinite          4/0/0/4  ekhi[1-4]
test         up      30:00        28/0/0/28  ekhi[1-28]


As you can see the default "all" partition now has a time limit of 2
days, and you have a new "long" partition with no time limit, but only
covering nodes ekhi[1-4]. Also the "test" partition still remains, with
a 30min, one node limit, and higher priority.

Should you want to submit jobs lasting longer than two days you have to
use the "long" partition specifying it in your scripts with

-p long

or 

--partition=long

Eg:

[inigo en ekhi ~]$ srun  -t 03-00 --mem 10 hostname
srun: error: Unable to allocate resources: Requested time limit is invalid (missing or exceeds some limit)
[inigo en ekhi ~]$ srun -p long  -t 03-00 --mem 10 hostname
ekhi4

Any doubt you may have just ask.

Bests,

Iñigo
