Hi Loris,

Your example of how to use 'Organisation' to setup separate groups
within one department is illuminating. However, I am still unable to
set up 'geochemie' as a sibling of 'geophysik' and a child of 'geowiss':
$ sacctmgr list acc where account=geophysik
Account Descr Org
---------- -------------------- --------------------
geophysik geophysik geowiss
$ sacctmgr list acc where account=geochemie
Account Descr Org
---------- -------------------- --------------------
$ sacctmgr add acc geochemie Description="Geochemie" Parent=geowiss
Organization=geochemie
No associations created.
$ sacctmgr list acc where account=geochemie
Account Descr Org
---------- -------------------- --------------------
So how do I get sacctmgr to show 'geochemie'? The dump created by
'sacctmgr' indicated that 'geochemie' exists and is a child of
'geowiss':
Parent - 'geowiss'
Account - 'geochemie':Fairshare=2
Account -
'geographie':Description='geographie':Organization='geowiss':Fairshare=1
Account -
'geologie':Description='geologie':Organization='geowiss':Fairshare=4
Account -
'geophysik':Description='geophysik':Organization='geowiss':Fairshare=3
Account -
'meteorologie':Description='meteorologie':Organization='geowiss':Fairshare=20
This is borne out by the contents of the database:
mysql> select user,acct,id_assoc,parent_acct from soroban_assoc_table where
acct like 'geo%';
+------+------------+----------+-------------+
| user | acct | id_assoc | parent_acct |
+------+------------+----------+-------------+
| | geochemie | 909 | geowiss |
| | geographie | 163 | geowiss |
| | geologie | 223 | geowiss |
| | geophysik | 296 | geowiss |
| | geowiss | 56 | root |
+------+------------+----------+-------------+
So this looks like a bug to me.
Let's first check your account hierarchy: The command:
/usr/bin/sacctmgr -sor show accounts
will print the hierarchy for you. The output may look confusing, so I
recommend you to run my tool "slurmaccounts2conf" which you will find at
https://github.com/OleHolmNielsen/Slurm_tools/tree/master/slurmaccounts.
You don't have to copy my account setup, but the tools can still be
useful.
As a reference, slurmaccounts2conf prints our account hierarchy like this:
###
### Slurm accounts for cluster niflheim
###
### Syntax of the file is:
### account:parent:FairShare:Description
###
### Parent account root->external
external:root:parent:external groups
qwise:external:parent:quantumwise
qwisegst:external:parent:quantumwise guests
topsoe:external:parent:haldor topsoe
###
### Parent account root->external->ku_kemi
ku_kemi:external:parent:ku kemi
chemku:ku_kemi:parent:ku kemi
###
### Parent account root->dtu
dtu:root:parent:dtu departments
###
### Parent account root->dtu->energy
energy:dtu:parent:dtu energy

### Parent account root->dtu->energy->batteries
