Hi;
As far as I know, the slurm is not able to work (communicate) with
reprise license manager or any other license manager. Slurm just sums
the used licenses according to the -L parameter of the jobs, and
subtracts this sum from the total license count which given by using
"sacctmgr add/modify resource", and the result is used as free license
count. That's all. No more calculation, communication, testing,
monitoring etc. with both license managers and jobs.
If you want to share a license with non-cluster users, you should check
and update license using a script that detects global/free license count
changes.
Regards,
Ahmet M.

Hi all,
We use a piece of software that works with reprise license management
via the cloud http://www.reprisesoftware.com./products/cloud-licensing.php
According to https://slurm.schedmd.com/licenses.html slurm is able to
work with reprise license manager, though the examples at schedmd seem
to aim at the on-premise rlm version. Instead of a useful pool of
licenses we seem to be stuck with per-user licenses.
Does anyone have experience with rlmcloud and slurm? Maybe some sample
configuration or just some hints on whether this will work at all.
Greetings, Pim
