Dear Hermann,
Dear James,
Thank you both for your answers!
I have tried as you suggested using bash -c and it worked.
But when I'm trying the following script the "bash -c" trick doesn't
work:
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --partition=eli
#SBATCH --time=24:00:00
#SBATCH --nodelist=mihaigpu2,mihai-x8640
#####SBATCH --gpus=12
#SBATCH --exclusive
#SBATCH --job-name="test_job"
#SBATCH -o /data/mihai/stdout_%j
#SBATCH -e /data/mihai/stderr_%j
touch test.txt
# Print the hostname of the allocated node
srun bash -c 'echo Running on host: $(hostname)'
# Print the start time
echo "Job started at: $(date)"
# Perform a simple task that takes a few minutes
echo "Starting the task..."
sleep 20
srun echo "GPU UUIDs:"
srun nvidia-smi --query-gpu=uuid --format=csv,noheader
srun bash -c 'echo $CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'
##echo "Task completed."
# Print the end time
echo "Job finished at: $(date)"
I don't get any output of the command srun bash -c 'echo
$CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES':
Running on host: mihaigpu2
Running on host: mihai-x8640
Job started at: Tue May 28 13:02:59 EEST 2024

...I'm not interesting on the output of the other 'echo' commands,
beside the one with the hostname, that's why I didn't changed.
Best,
Mihai
I will try

Hi Mihai,
this is a problem that is not Slurm related. It's rather about:
"when does command substitution happen?"
When you write
srun echo Running on host: $(hostname)
$(hostname) is replaced by the output of the hostname-command *before*
the line is "submitted" to srun. Which means that srun will happily
run it on any (remote) node using the name of the host it is running
on.
If you want to avoid this, one possible solution is
srun bash -c 'echo Running on host: $(hostname)'
In this case the command substitution is happening after srun starts
the process on a (potentially remote) node.

Hermann

Hello,
My name is Mihai and a have an issue with a small GPU cluster manage
with slurm 22.05.11. I got 2 different output when I'm trying to find
out the name of the nodes(one correct and one wrong). The script is:
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=test
#SBATCH --output=/data/mihai/res.txt
#SBATCH --partition=eli
#SBATCH --nodes=2
srun echo Running on host: $(hostname)
srun hostname
srun sleep 15
And the output look like this:
cat res.txt
Running on host: mihai-x8640
Running on host: mihai-x8640
mihaigpu2
mihai-x8640
As you can see the output of the command 'srun echo Running on host:
$(hostname)' is the same, as the jobs was running twice on the same
node, while command 'srun hostname' it's giving me the correct output.
Do you have any idea why the outputs of the 2 commands are different?
Thank you,
Mihai
