Dear all, Apologies for the basic question. I've looked around online for an answer to this, and I haven't found anything that has helped accomplish exactly what I want. That said, it is also probable that what I am asking isn't a best practice, or isn't actually necessary, etc. I'd welcome any advice.
My question is, how can I reset a user's FairShare number? Specifically, I'm asking about the last column displayed by default when typing: sshare -a If I want to reset a user's value for that to 1, so that they are back at "top priority," I'm unclear how to do that. When I type: sacctmgr modify user <username> set FairShare=1 That seems actually to update the RawShares column! I guess this (kind of) makes sense, since apparently I can set FairShare=parent, so it's clear that command is not used to update the last column (the one titled FairShare); so confusing! Is the actual FairShare column a calculated value that is immutable? My understanding, however, is that it is that value that controls a user's job priority. We do have job priority scheduling configured and it *seems* to be working as intended, I'm just not sure how to "reset" a given user's priority weighting. I do have PriorityDecayHalfLife=7 set in slurm.conf, and this does decrement the RawUsage column appropriately, but even when that reaches 0, the FairShare value doesn't change.
