You should be able to set the MaxTRESPerUser=node=XXX to set an aggregate per user node limit. There's more info on the resource_limits slurm page: https://slurm.schedmd.com/resource_limits.html
You can force the jobs to use the QOS by adding the QOS to the job or by setting the partition QOS. ----- Gary Skouson From: Jacob Chappell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2017 1:48 PM To: slurm-dev <[email protected]> Subject: [slurm-dev] Slurm accounting: limit by max nodes period Hi All, Our center was previously using Moab, and we are trying to move to Slurm exclusively now. One of the features Moab gave us was the ability to limit the maximum number of nodes a user/group could use across their entire allocation. In Slurm (via the accounting enforcement), GrpNodes handles this correctly for groups, but MaxNodes (for users) sets the limit per job rather than aggregate over all of the user's jobs. Is there a way to set user limits in aggregate? Thanks, Jacob Chappell
