If you want to rigidly define which 20 nodes are available to the one group of users, you could define a 20-node partition for them, and a 35-node partition for the priority group, and restrict access by Unix group membership:
PartitionName=restricted Nodes=node0[01-20] AllowGroups=ALL PartitionName=priority Nodes=node0[01-35] AllowGroups=prioritygroup If you don’t care which of the 35 nodes get used by the first group, but want to restrict them to using at most 20 nodes of the 35, you could define a single partition and a QOS for each group: PartitionName=restricted Nodes=node0[01-35] AllowGroups=ALL QoS=restricted PartitionName=priority Nodes=node0[01-35] AllowGroups=prioritygroup QoS=priority sacctmgr add qos restricted sacctmgr modify qos restricted set grptres=cpu=N # where N=20*(cores per node) sacctmgr add qos priority sacctmgr modify qos restricted set grptres=cpu=-1 # might not be strictly required > On Feb 5, 2020, at 8:07 AM, Рачко Антон Сергеевич <an...@ciam.ru> wrote: > > External Email Warning > This email originated from outside the university.

Can I do it otherwise (sacctmg, QOS, etc.)?
