.SH "DESCRIPTION" \fBscontrol\fR is used to view or modify Slurm configuration including: job, job step, node, partition, reservation, and overall system configuration. Most of the commands can only be executed by user root or an Administrator. If an attempt to view or modify configuration information is made by an unauthorized user, an error message will be printed and the requested action will not occur. If no command is entered on the execute line, \fBscontrol\fR will operate in an interactive mode and prompt for input. It will continue prompting for input and executing commands until explicitly terminated. If a command is entered on the execute line, \fBscontrol\fR will execute that command and terminate. All commands and options are case\-insensitive, although node names, partition names, and reservation names are case\-sensitive (node names "LX" and "lx" are distinct). All commands and options can be abbreviated to the extent that the specification is unique. A modified Slurm configuration can be written to a file using the \fIscontrol write config\fR command. The resulting file will be named using the convention "slurm.conf.<datetime>" and located in the same directory as the original "slurm.conf" file. The directory containing the original slurm.conf must be writable for this to occur. .SH "OPTIONS" .TP \fB\-a\fR, \fB\-\-all\fR When the \fIshow\fR command is used, then display all partitions, their jobs and jobs steps. This causes information to be displayed about partitions that are configured as hidden and partitions that are unavailable to user's group. .TP \fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-details\fR Causes the \fIshow\fR command to provide additional details where available. .TP \fB\-\-federation\fR Report jobs from federation if a member of one. .TP \fB\-F\fR, \fB\-\-future\fR Report nodes in FUTURE state. .TP \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR Print a help message describing the usage of scontrol. .TP \fB\-\-hide\fR Do not display information about hidden partitions, their jobs and job steps. By default, neither partitions that are configured as hidden nor those partitions unavailable to user's group will be displayed (i.e. this is the default behavior). .TP \fB\-\-local\fR Show only information local to this cluster. Ignore other clusters in the federated if a member of one. Overrides \-\-federation. .TP \fB\-M\fR, \fB\-\-clusters\fR=<\fIstring\fR> The cluster to issue commands to. Only one cluster name may be specified. Note that the SlurmDBD must be up for this option to work properly. .TP \fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR Print detailed event logging. Multiple \fB\-v\fR's will further increase the verbosity of logging. By default only errors will be displayed. .TP \fB\-V\fR , \fB\-\-version\fR Print version information and exit. .TP \fBCOMMANDS\fR .TP \fBabort\fP Instruct the Slurm controller to terminate immediately and generate a core file. See "man slurmctld" for information about where the core file will be written. .TP \fBcancel_reboot \fI<NodeList>\fP Cancel pending reboots on nodes. The node will be undrain'ed and the reason cleared if the node was drained by an ASAP reboot. .TP \fBcluster\fR \fICLUSTER_NAME\fP The cluster to issue commands to. Only one cluster name may be specified. .TP \fBcreate\fP \fISPECIFICATION\fP Create a new partition or reservation. See the full list of parameters below. Include the tag "res" to create a reservation without specifying a reservation name. .TP \fBcompleting\fP Display all jobs in a COMPLETING state along with associated nodes in either a COMPLETING or DOWN state. .TP \fBdelete\fP \fISPECIFICATION\fP Delete the entry with the specified \fISPECIFICATION\fP. The two \fISPECIFICATION\fP choices are \fIPartitionName=<name>\fP and \fIReservation=<name>\fP. Reservations and partitions should have no associated jobs at the time of their deletion (modify the jobs first). If the specified partition is in use, the request is denied. .TP \fBerrnumstr\fP \fIERRNO\fP Given a Slurm error number, return a descriptive string. .TP \fBfsdampeningfactor\fP \fIFACTOR\fP Set the FairShareDampeningFactor in slurmctld. see the \fBuhold\fP command). When the job is held by its owner, it may also be released by the job's owner. Additionally, attempting to hold a running job will have not suspend or cancel it. But, it will set the job priority to 0 and update the job reason field, which would hold the job if it was requeued at a later time. .TP \fBnotify\fP \fIjob_id\fP \fImessage\fP Send a message to standard error of the salloc or srun command or batch job associated with the specified \fIjob_id\fP. .TP \fBpidinfo\fP \fIproc_id\fP Print the Slurm job id and scheduled termination time corresponding to the supplied process id, \fIproc_id\fP, on the current node. This will work only with processes on node on which scontrol is run, and only for those processes spawned by Slurm and their descendants. .TP \fBlistpids\fP [\fIjob_id\fP[.\fIstep_id\fP]] [\fINodeName\fP] Print a listing of the process IDs in a job step (if JOBID.STEPID is provided), or all of the job steps in a job (if \fIjob_id\fP is provided), or all of the job steps in all of the jobs on the local node (if \fIjob_id\fP is not provided or \fIjob_id\fP is "*"). This will work only with processes on the node on which scontrol is run, and only for those processes spawned by Slurm and their descendants. Note that some Slurm configurations (\fIProctrackType\fP value of \fIpgid\fP) are unable to identify all processes associated with a job or job step. Note that the NodeName option is only really useful when you have multiple slurmd daemons running on the same host machine. Multiple slurmd daemons on one host are, in general, only used by Slurm developers. .TP \fBping\fP Ping the primary and secondary slurmctld daemon and report if they are responding. .TP \fBreboot\fP [ASAP] [nextstate=<RESUME|DOWN>] [reason=<reason>] <\fIALL|\ NodeList\fP> Reboot the nodes in the system when they become idle using the \fBRebootProgram\fP as configured in Slurm's slurm.conf file. Each node will have the "REBOOT" flag added to its node state. After a node reboots and the slurmd daemon starts up again, the HealthCheckProgram will run once. Then, the slurmd daemon will register itself with the slurmctld daemon and the "REBOOT" flag will be cleared. The node's "DRAIN" state flag will be cleared if the reboot was "ASAP", nextstate=resume or down. The "ASAP" option adds the "DRAIN" flag to each node's state, preventing additional jobs from running on the node so it can be rebooted and returned to service "As Soon As Possible" (i.e. ASAP). NOTE: By default, this command does not prevent additional jobs from being scheduled on any nodes before reboot. To do this, you can either use the "ASAP" option or explicitly drain the nodes beforehand. You can alternately create an advanced reservation to prevent additional jobs from being initiated on nodes to be rebooted. Pending reboots can be cancelled by using "scontrol cancel_reboot <node>" or setting the node state to "CANCEL_REBOOT". A node will be marked "DOWN" if it doesn't reboot within \fBResumeTimeout\fR. .TP \fBreconfigure\fP Instruct all Slurm daemons to re\-read the configuration file. This command does not restart the daemons. This mechanism would be used to modify configuration parameters (Epilog, Prolog, SlurmctldLogFile, SlurmdLogFile, etc.). The Slurm controller (slurmctld) forwards the request to all other daemons (slurmd daemon on each compute node). Running jobs continue execution. Most configuration parameters can be changed by just running this command, however, Slurm daemons should be shutdown and restarted if any of these parameters are to be changed: AuthType, ControlMach, PluginDir, StateSaveLocation, SlurmctldHost, SlurmctldPort, or SlurmdPort. The slurmctld daemon and all slurmd daemons must be restarted if nodes are added to or removed from the cluster. .TP \fBrelease\fP \fIjob_list\fP Release a previously held job to begin execution. The job_list argument is a comma separated list of job IDs OR "jobname=" with the job's name, which will attempt to hold all jobs having that name. Also see \fBhold\fR. .TP \fBrequeue\f [option] \fIjob_list\fP Requeue a running, suspended or finished Slurm batch job into pending state. The job_list argument is a comma separated list of job IDs. The command accepts the following option: .RS .TP \fIIncomplete\fP Operate only on jobs (or tasks of a job array) which have not completed. Specifically only jobs in the following states will be requeued: CONFIGURING, RUNNING, STOPPED or SUSPENDED. .RE .TP \fBrequeuehold\fP [option] \fIjob_list\fP Requeue a running, suspended or finished Slurm batch job into pending state, moreover the job is put in held state (priority zero). The job_list argument is a comma separated list of job IDs. A held job can be released using scontrol to reset its priority (e.g. .TP \fBresume\fP \fIjob_list\fP Resume a previously suspended job. The job_list argument is a comma separated list of job IDs. Also see \fBsuspend\fR. \fBNOTE:\fR A suspended job releases its CPUs for allocation to other jobs. Resuming a previously suspended job may result in multiple jobs being allocated the same CPUs, which could trigger gang scheduling with some configurations or severe degradation in performance with other configurations. Use of the scancel command to send SIGSTOP and SIGCONT signals would stop a job without releasing its CPUs for allocation to other jobs and would be a preferable mechanism in many cases. If performing system maintenance you may want to use suspend/resume in the following way. Before suspending set all nodes to draining or set all partitions to down so that no new jobs can be scheduled. Then suspend jobs. Once maintenance is done resume jobs then resume nodes and/or set all partitions back to up. Use with caution. .TP \fBschedloglevel\fP \fILEVEL\fP Enable or disable scheduler logging. \fILEVEL\fP may be "0", "1", "disable" or "enable". "0" has the same effect as "disable". "1" has the same effect as "enable". This value is temporary and will be overwritten when the slurmctld daemon reads the slurm.conf configuration file (e.g. when the daemon is restarted or \fBscontrol reconfigure\fR is executed) if the SlurmSchedLogLevel parameter is present. .TP \fBsetdebug\fP \fILEVEL\fP Change the debug level of the slurmctld daemon. \fILEVEL\fP may be an integer value between zero and nine (using the same values as \fISlurmctldDebug\fP in the \fIslurm.conf\fP file) or the name of the most detailed message type to be printed: "quiet", "fatal", "error", "info", "verbose", "debug", "debug2", "debug3", "debug4", or "debug5". This value is temporary and will be overwritten whenever the slurmctld daemon reads the slurm.conf configuration file (e.g. when the daemon is restarted or \fBscontrol reconfigure\fR is executed). .TP \fBsetdebugflags\fP [+|\-]\fIFLAG\fP Add or remove DebugFlags of the slurmctld daemon. See "man slurm.conf" for a list of supported DebugFlags. NOTE: Changing the value of some DebugFlags will have no effect without restarting the slurmctld daemon, which would set DebugFlags based upon the contents of the slurm.conf configuration file. .TP optional arguments are the options of the local status command. The status commands will be executed by the slurmctld daemon and its response returned to the user. For an \fIENTITY\fP of \fItopology\fP, the \fIID\fP may be a node or switch name. If one node name is specified, all switches connected to that node (and their parent switches) will be shown. If more than one node name is specified, only switches that connect to all named nodes will be shown. \fIaliases\fP will return all \fINodeName\fP values associated to a given \fINodeHostname\fP (useful to get the list of virtual nodes associated with a real node in a configuration where multiple slurmd daemons execute on a single compute node). \fIassoc_mgr\fP displays the current contents of the slurmctld's internal cache for users, associations and/or qos. The \fIID\fP may be users=<user1>,[...,<userN>], accounts=<acct1>,[...,<acctN>], qos=<qos1>,[...,<qosN>] and/or flags=<users,assoc,qos>, used to filter the desired section to be displayed. If no flags are specified, all sections are displayed. \fIburstbuffer\fP displays the current status of the BurstBuffer plugin. \fIconfig\fP displays parameter names from the configuration files in mixed case (e.g. SlurmdPort=7003) while derived parameters names are in upper case only (e.g. SLURM_VERSION). \fIhostnames\fP takes an optional hostlist expression as input and writes a list of individual host names to standard output (one per line). If no hostlist expression is supplied, the contents of the SLURM_JOB_NODELIST environment variable is used. For example "tux[1\-3]" is mapped to "tux1","tux2" and "tux3" (one hostname per line). \fIhostlist\fP takes a list of host names and prints the hostlist expression for them (the inverse of \fIhostnames\fP). \fIhostlist\fP can also take the absolute pathname of a file (beginning with the character '/') containing a list of hostnames. Multiple node names may be specified using simple node range expressions (e.g. "lx[10\-20]"). All other \fIID\fP values must identify a single element. The job step ID is of the form "job_id.step_id", (e.g. "1234.1"). \fIslurmd\fP reports the current status of the slurmd daemon executing on the same node from which the scontrol command is executed (the local host). It can be useful to diagnose problems. By default \fIhostlist\fP does not sort the node list or make it unique (e.g. tux2,tux1,tux2 = tux[2,1-2]). If you wanted a sorted list use \fIhostlistsorted\fP (e.g. tux2,tux1,tux2 = tux[1-2,2]). By default, all elements of the entity type specified are printed. For an \fIENTITY\fP of \fIjob\fP, if the job does not specify socket-per-node, cores-per-socket or threads-per-core then it will display '*' in ReqS:C:T=*:*:* field. For an \fIENTITY\fP of \fIfederation\fP, the federation name that the controller is part of and the sibling clusters part of the federation will be listed. .TP \fBshutdown\fP \fIOPTION\fP Instruct Slurm daemons to save current state and terminate. By default, the Slurm controller (slurmctld) forwards the request all other daemons (slurmd daemon on each compute node). An \fIOPTION\fP of \fIslurmctld\fP or \fIcontroller\fP results in .TP \fBtakeover\fP \fI[INDEX]\fP Instruct one of Slurm's backup controllers (slurmctld) to take over system control. By default the first backup controller (INDEX=1) requests control from the primary and waits for its termination. After that, it switches from backup mode to controller mode. If primary controller can not be contacted, it directly switches to controller mode. This can be used to speed up the Slurm controller fail\-over mechanism when the primary node is down. This can be used to minimize disruption if the computer executing the primary Slurm controller is scheduled down. (Note: Slurm's primary controller will take the control back at startup.) .TP \fBtop\fP \fIjob_list\fP Move the specified job IDs to the top of the queue of jobs belonging to the identical user ID, partition name, account, and QOS. The job_list argument is a comma separated ordered list of job IDs. Any job not matching \fBall\fP of those fields will not be effected. Only jobs submitted to a single partition will be effected. This operation changes the order of jobs by adjusting job nice values. The net effect on that user's throughput will be negligible to slightly negative. This operation is disabled by default for non-privileged (non-operator, admin, SlurmUser, or root) users. This operation may be enabled for non-privileged users by the system administrator by including the option "enable_user_top" in the SchedulerParameters configuration parameter. .TP \fBtoken\fP [lifespan=<lifespan>] [username=<username>] Return an auth token which can be used to support JWT authentication if \fIAuthAltTypes=auth/jwt\fP has been enabled on the system. Supports two optional arguments. \fBlifespan=\fP may be used to specify the token's lifespan. \fBusername\fP (only available to SlurmUser/root) may be used to request a token for a different username. .TP \fBuhold\fP \fIjob_list\fP Prevent a pending job from being started (sets its priority to 0). The job_list argument is a space separated list of job IDs or job names. Use the \fIrelease\fP command to permit the job to be scheduled. This command is designed for a system administrator to hold a job so that the job owner may release it rather than requiring the intervention of a system administrator (also see the \fBhold\fP command). .TP \fBupdate\fP \fISPECIFICATION\fP Update job, step, node, partition, or reservation configuration per the supplied specification. \fISPECIFICATION\fP is in the same format as the Slurm configuration file and the output of the \fIshow\fP command described above. It may be desirable to execute the \fIshow\fP command (described above) on the specific entity you want to update, then use cut\-and\-paste tools to enter updated configuration values to the \fIupdate\fP. Note that while most or in the batch script itself if nodes are powered down and restarted automatically as needed. \fBNOTE:\fP Don't use scontrol wait_job in PrologCtld or Prolog with PrologFlags=Alloc as this will result in deadlock. .TP \fBwrite batch_script\fP \fIjob_id optional_filename\fP Write the batch script for a given job_id to a file or to stdout. The file will default to \fIslurm-\<job_id\>.sh\fP if the optional filename argument is not given. The script will be written to stdout if - is given instead of a filename. The batch script can only be retrieved by an admin or operator, or by the owner of the job. .TP \fBwrite config\fP \fIoptional_filename\fP Write the current configuration to a file with the naming convention of "slurm.conf.<datetime>" in the same directory as the original slurm.conf file. If a filename is given that file location with a .<datetime> suffix is created. .TP \fBINTERACTIVE COMMANDS\fR \fBNOTE:\fP All commands listed below can be used in the interactive mode, but \fINOT\fP on the initial command line. .TP \fBall\fP Show all partitions, their jobs and jobs steps. This causes information to be displayed about partitions that are configured as hidden and partitions that are unavailable to user's group. .TP \fBdetails\fP Causes the \fIshow\fP command to provide additional details where available. Job information will include CPUs and NUMA memory allocated on each node. Note that on computers with hyperthreading enabled and Slurm configured to allocate cores, each listed CPU represents one physical core. Each hyperthread on that core can be allocated a separate task, so a job's CPU count and task count may differ. See the \fB\-\-cpu\-bind\fR and \fB\-\-mem\-bind\fR option descriptions in srun man pages for more information. The \fBdetails\fP option is currently only supported for the \fIshow job\fP command. .TP \fBexit\fP Terminate scontrol interactive session. .TP \fBhide\fP Terminate the execution of scontrol. .TP \fBverbose\fP Print detailed event logging. This includes time\-stamps on data structures, record counts, etc. .TP \fB!!\fP Repeat the last command executed. .TP \fBSPECIFICATIONS FOR UPDATE COMMAND, JOBS\fR .LP Note that update requests done by either root, SlurmUser or Administrators are not subject to certain restrictions. For instance, if an Administrator changes the QOS on a pending job, certain limits such as the TimeLimit will not be changed automatically as changes made by the Administrators are allowed to violate these restrictions. .TP \fIAccount\fP=<account> Account name to be changed for this job's resource use. Value may be cleared with blank data value, "Account=". .TP \fIAdminComment\fP=<spec> Arbitrary descriptive string. Can only be set by a Slurm administrator. .TP \fIArrayTaskThrottle\fP=<count> Specify the maximum number of tasks in a job array that can execute at the same time. Set the count to zero in order to eliminate any limit. The task throttle count for a job array is reported as part of its ArrayTaskId field, preceded with a percent sign. For example "ArrayTaskId=1\-10%2" indicates the maximum number of running tasks is limited to 2. .TP \fIBurstBuffer\fP=<spec> Burst buffer specification to be changed for this job's resource use. Value may be cleared with blank data value, "BurstBuffer=". Format is burst buffer plugin specific. .TP \fIClusters\fP=<spec> Specifies the clusters that the federated job can run on. .TP \fIClusterFeatures\fP=<spec> Specifies features that a federated cluster must have to have a sibling job submitted to it. Slurm will attempt to submit a sibling job to a cluster if it has at least one of the specified features. .TP \fIComment\fP=<spec> Arbitrary descriptive string. \fIDeadline\fP=<time_spec> It accepts times of the form \fIHH:MM:SS\fR to specify a deadline to a job at a specific time of day (seconds are optional). You may also specify \fImidnight\fR, \fInoon\fR, \fIfika\fR (3 PM) or \fIteatime\fR (4 PM) and you can have a time\-of\-day suffixed with \fIAM\fR or \fIPM\fR for a deadline in the morning or the evening. You can specify a deadline for the job with a date of the form \fIMMDDYY\fR or \fIMM/DD/YY\fR or \fIMM.DD.YY\fR, or a date and time as \fIYYYY\-MM\-DD[THH:MM[:SS]]\fR. You can also give times like \fInow + count time\-units\fR, where the time\-units can be \fIseconds\fR (default), \fIminutes\fR, \fIhours\fR, \fIdays\fR, or \fIweeks\fR and you can tell Slurm to put a deadline for tomorrow with the keyword \fItomorrow\fR. The specified deadline must be later than the current time. Only pending jobs can have the deadline updated. Only the Slurm administrator or root can change this parameter. .TP \fIDelayBoot\fP=<time_spec> Change the time to decide whether to reboot nodes in order to satisfy job's feature specification if the job has been eligible to run for less than this time period. See salloc/sbatch man pages option \-\-delay\-boot. .TP \fIDependency\fP=<dependency_list> Defer job's initiation until specified job dependency specification is satisfied. Cancel dependency with an empty dependency_list (e.g. "Dependency="). <\fIdependency_list\fR> is of the form <\fItype:job_id[:job_id][,type:job_id[:job_id]]\fR>. Many jobs can share the same dependency and these jobs may even belong to different users. .PD .RS .TP \fBafter:job_id[:jobid...]\fR This job can begin execution after the specified jobs have begun execution or been canceled. .TP \fBafterany:job_id[:jobid...]\fR This job can begin execution after the specified jobs have terminated. .TP \fBafternotok:job_id[:jobid...]\fR This job can begin execution after the specified jobs have terminated in some failed state (non-zero exit code, node failure, timed out, etc). .TP \fBafterok:job_id[:jobid...]\fR This job can begin execution after the specified jobs have successfully executed (ran to completion with an exit code of zero). .TP \fBsingleton\fR This job can begin execution after any previously launched jobs sharing the same job name and user have terminated. In other words, only one job by that name and owned by that user can be running Value may be cleared with blank data value, "ExcNodeList=". .TP \fIFeatures\fP=<features> Set the job's required node features. The list of features may include multiple feature names separated by ampersand (AND) and/or vertical bar (OR) operators. For example: \fBFeatures="opteron&video"\fR or \fBFeatures="fast|faster"\fR. In the first example, only nodes having both the feature "opteron" AND the feature "video" will be used. There is no mechanism to specify that you want one node with feature "opteron" and another node with feature "video" in case no node has both features. If only one of a set of possible options should be used for all allocated nodes, then use the OR operator and enclose the options within square brackets. For example: "\fBFeatures=[rack1|rack2|rack3|rack4]"\fR might be used to specify that all nodes must be allocated on a single rack of the cluster, but any of those four racks can be used. A request can also specify the number of nodes needed with some feature by appending an asterisk and count after the feature name. For example "\fBFeatures=graphics*4"\fR indicates that at least four allocated nodes must have the feature "graphics." Parenthesis are also supported for features to be ANDed together. For example "\fBFeatures=[(knl&a2a&flat)*4&haswell*2]"\fR indicates the resource allocation should include 4 nodes with ALL of the features "knl", "a2a", and "flat" plus 2 nodes with the feature "haswell". Constraints with node counts may only be combined with AND operators. Value may be cleared with blank data value, for example "Features=". .TP \fIGres\fP=<list> Specifies a comma delimited list of generic consumable resources. The format of each entry on the list is "name[:count[*cpu]]". The name is that of the consumable resource. The count is the number of those resources with a default value of 1. The specified resources will be allocated to the job on each node allocated unless "*cpu" is appended, in which case the resources will be allocated on a per cpu basis. The available generic consumable resources is configurable by the system administrator. A list of available generic consumable resources will be printed and the command will exit if the option argument is "help". Examples of use include "Gres=gpus:2*cpu,disk=40G" and "Gres=help". .TP \fIJobId\fP=<job_list> Identify the job(s) to be updated. The job_list may be a comma separated list of job IDs. Either \fIJobId\fP or \fIJobName\fP is required. .TP \fILicenses\fP=<name> Specification of licenses (or other resources available on all nodes of the cluster) as described in salloc/sbatch/srun man pages. Set the user to receive email notification of state changes. A blank string will set the mail user to the default which is the submitting user. .TP \fIMinCPUsNode\fP=<count> Set the job's minimum number of CPUs per node to the specified value. .TP \fIMinMemoryCPU\fP=<megabytes> Set the job's minimum real memory required per allocated CPU to the specified value. Either \fIMinMemoryCPU\fP or \fIMinMemoryNode\fP may be set, but not both. .TP \fIMinMemoryNode\fP=<megabytes> Set the job's minimum real memory required per node to the specified value. Either \fIMinMemoryCPU\fP or \fIMinMemoryNode\fP may be set, but not both. .TP \fIMinTmpDiskNode\fP=<megabytes> Set the job's minimum temporary disk space required per node to the specified value. Only the Slurm administrator or root can change this parameter. .TP \fITimeMin\fP=<timespec> Change TimeMin value which specifies the minimum time limit minutes of the job. .TP \fIJobName\fP=<name> Identify the name of jobs to be modified or set the job's name to the specified value. When used to identify jobs to be modified, all jobs belonging to all users are modified unless the \fIUserID\fP option is used to identify a specific user. Either \fIJobId\fP or \fIJobName\fP is required. .TP \fIName\fP[=<name>] See JobName. .TP \fINice\fP[=<adjustment>] Update the job with an adjusted scheduling priority within Slurm. With no adjustment value the scheduling priority is decreased by 100. A negative nice value increases the priority, otherwise decreases it. The adjustment range is +/\- 2147483645. Only privileged users can specify a negative adjustment. .TP \fINodeList\fP=<nodes> Change the nodes allocated to a running job to shrink its size. The specified list of nodes must be a subset of the nodes currently allocated to the job. Multiple node names may be specified using simple node range expressions (e.g. "lx[10\-20]"). After a job's allocation is reduced, subsequent \fBsrun\fR commands must explicitly specify node and task counts which are valid for the new allocation. .TP \fINumCPUs\fP=<min_count>[\-<max_count>] Set the job's minimum and optionally maximum count of CPUs to be allocated. .TP \fINumNodes\fP=<min_count>[\-<max_count>] Set the job's minimum and optionally maximum count of nodes to be allocated. If the job is already running, use this to specify a node count less than currently allocated and resources previously allocated to the job will be \fIPartition\fP=<name> Set the job's partition to the specified value. .TP \fIPriority\fP=<number> Set the job's priority to the specified value. Note that a job priority of zero prevents the job from ever being scheduled. By setting a job's priority to zero it is held. Set the priority to a non\-zero value to permit it to run. Explicitly setting a job's priority clears any previously set nice value and removes the priority/multifactor plugin's ability to manage a job's priority. In order to restore the priority/multifactor plugin's ability to manage a job's priority, hold and then release the job. Only the Slurm administrator or root can increase job's priority. .TP \fIQOS\fP=<name> Set the job's QOS (Quality Of Service) to the specified value. Value may be cleared with blank data value, "QOS=". .TP \fIReboot\fP=<yes|no> Set the job's flag that specifies whether to force the allocated nodes to reboot before starting the job. This is only supported with some system configurations and therefore it could be silently ignored. .TP \fIReqCores\fP=<count> Change the job's requested Cores count. .TP \fIReqNodeList\fP=<nodes> Set the job's list of required node. Multiple node names may be specified using simple node range expressions (e.g. "lx[10\-20]"). Value may be cleared with blank data value, "ReqNodeList=". .TP \fIReqNodes\fP=<min_count>[\-<max_count>] See NumNodes. .TP \fIReqProcs\fP=<count> See NumTasks. .TP \fIReqSockets\fP=<count> Change the job's requested socket count. .TP \fIReqThreads\fP=<count> Change the job's requested threads count. .TP \fIRequeue\fP=<0|1> Stipulates whether a job should be requeued after a node failure: 0 for no, 1 for yes. .TP \fIReservationName\fP=<name> Set the job's reservation to the specified value. Value may be cleared with blank data value, "ReservationName=". .TP \fIResetAccrueTime\fP .TP \fIStartTime\fP=<time_spec> Set the job's earliest initiation time. It accepts times of the form \fIHH:MM:SS\fR to run a job at a specific time of day (seconds are optional). (If that time is already past, the next day is assumed.) You may also specify \fImidnight\fR, \fInoon\fR, \fIfika\fR (3 PM) or \fIteatime\fR (4 PM) and you can have a time\-of\-day suffixed with \fIAM\fR or \fIPM\fR for running in the morning or the evening. You can also say what day the job will be run, by specifying a date of the form \fIMMDDYY\fR or \fIMM/DD/YY\fR or \fIMM.DD.YY\fR, or a date and time as \fIYYYY\-MM\-DD[THH:MM[:SS]]\fR. You can also give times like \fInow + count time\-units\fR, where the time\-units can be \fIseconds\fR (default), \fIminutes\fR, \fIhours\fR, \fIdays\fR, or \fIweeks\fR and you can tell Slurm to run the job today with the keyword \fItoday\fR and to run the job tomorrow with the keyword \fItomorrow\fR. .RS .PP Notes on date/time specifications: \- although the 'seconds' field of the HH:MM:SS time specification is allowed by the code, note that the poll time of the Slurm scheduler is not precise enough to guarantee dispatch of the job on the exact second. The job will be eligible to start on the next poll following the specified time. The exact poll interval depends on the Slurm scheduler (e.g., 60 seconds with the default sched/builtin). \- if no time (HH:MM:SS) is specified, the default is (00:00:00). \- if a date is specified without a year (e.g., MM/DD) then the current year is assumed, unless the combination of MM/DD and HH:MM:SS has already passed for that year, in which case the next year is used. .RE .TP \fISwitches\fP=<count>[@<max\-time\-to\-wait>] When a tree topology is used, this defines the maximum count of switches desired for the job allocation. If Slurm finds an allocation containing more switches than the count specified, the job remain pending until it either finds an allocation with desired switch count or the time limit expires. By default there is no switch count limit and no time limit delay. Set the count to zero in order to clean any previously set count (disabling the limit). The job's maximum time delay may be limited by the system administrator using the \fBSchedulerParameters\fR configuration parameter with the \fBmax_switch_wait\fR parameter option. Also see \fIwait\-for\-switch\fP. .TP \fIwait\-for\-switch\fP=<seconds> Change max time to wait for a switch <seconds> secs. .TP \fITasksPerNode\fP=<count> Change the job's requested TasksPerNode. the next minute. If changing the time limit of a job, either specify a new time limit value or precede the time and equal sign with a "+" or "\-" to increment or decrement the current time limit (e.g. "TimeLimit+=30"). In order to increment or decrement the current time limit, the \fIJobId\fP specification must precede the \fITimeLimit\fP specification. Note that incrementing or decrementing the time limit for a job array is only allowed before the job array has been split into more than one job record. Only the Slurm administrator or root can increase job's TimeLimit. .TP \fIUserID\fP=<UID or name> Used with the \fIJobName\fP option to identify jobs to be modified. Either a user name or numeric ID (UID), may be specified. .TP \fIWCKey\fP=<key> Set the job's workload characterization key to the specified value. .TP \fIWorkDir\fP=<directory_name> Set the job's working directory to the specified value. Note that this may only be set for jobs in the PENDING state, and that jobs may fail to launch if they rely on relative paths to the originally submitted WorkDir. .TP \fBSPECIFICATIONS FOR SHOW COMMAND, JOBS\fR .LP The "show" command, when used with the "job" or "job <jobid>" entity displays detailed information about a job or jobs. Much of this information may be modified using the "update job" command as described above. However, the following fields displayed by the show job command are read\-only and cannot be modified: .TP \fIAllocNode:Sid\fP Local node and system id making the resource allocation. .TP \fIBatchFlag\fP Jobs submitted using the sbatch command have BatchFlag set to 1. Jobs submitted using other commands have BatchFlag set to 0. .TP \fIExitCode\fP=<exit>:<sig> Exit status reported for the job by the wait() function. The first number is the exit code, typically as set by the exit() function. The second number of the signal that caused the process to terminate if it was terminated by a signal. .TP \fIGroupId\fP The group under which the job was submitted. .TP .TP \fIPreemptEligibleTime\fP Time the job becomes eligible for preemption. Modified by PreemptExemptTime, either from the global option in slurm.conf or the job QOS. This is hidden if the job has not started or if PreemptMode=OFF. .TP \fIPreemptTime\fP Time at which job was signaled that it was selected for preemption. (Meaningful only for PreemptMode=CANCEL and the partition or QOS with which the job is associated has a GraceTime value designated.) This is hidden if the job has not started or if PreemptMode=OFF. .TP \fIPreSusTime\fP Time the job ran prior to last suspend. .TP \fIReason\fP The reason job is not running: e.g., waiting "Resources". .TP .na \fIReqB:S:C:T\fP=fR(1), \fBsinfo\fR(1), \fBsqueue\fR(1), \fBslurm_create_partition\fR (3), \fBslurm_delete_partition\fR (3), \fBslurm_load_ctl_conf\fR (3), \fBslurm_load_jobs\fR (3), \fBslurm_load_node\fR (3), \fBslurm_load_partitions\fR (3), \fBslurm_reconfigure\fR (3), \fBslurm_requeue\fR (3), \fBslurm_resume\fR (3), \fBslurm_shutdown\fR (3), \fBslurm_suspend\fR (3), \fBslurm_takeover\fR (3), \fBslurm_update_job\fR (3), \fBslurm_update_node\fR (3), \fBslurm_update_partition\fR (3), \fBslurm.conf\fR(5), \fBslurmctld\fR(8)
