Hi Loris,
I am interested in the script you mentioned. Could you please post the code?
Best regards,
Miguel

Hello,
Looking at the Slurm documentation I see that it is possible to handle basic
license management (this is the link http://slurm.schedmd.com/licenses.html). In
other words software licenses can be treated as a resource, however things
appear to be fairly rudimentary at the moment – at least that’s my impression.
We are used to doing license management in moab, and if we don’t have that
properly implemented is it not the end of the world, however not ideal.
One situation that we would like to be able to deal with is a FlexLM 3 server
redundancy situation. So, for example, our Comsol licenses are served out in
this fashion. Is this something that slurm can deal with, and, if so, how can it
be done? Any advice including slurm’s short comings and/or future plans in this
respect would be useful, please.
Best regards,
David
We have licenses, such as Intel compiler licenses, which can be used
both interactively outside the queuing system and within Slurm jobs.
We use a script which parses the output of the FlexLM manager and
modifies a reservation in which the licenses are defined. This is run
as a cron job once a minute. It's a bit of a kludge and obviously won't
work well if there is a lot of contention for licenses.
I can post the code if anyone is interested.
Cheers,
Loris
