SLURM/ClusterStatus

Cluster Status

SLURM offers a variety of tools to check the general status of nodes/partitions in a cluster.

sinfo

The sinfo command will show you the status of partitions in the cluster. Passing the -N flag will show each node individually.

[username@nexuscml00 ~]$ sinfo
PARTITION AVAIL  TIMELIMIT  NODES  STATE NODELIST
gamma        up   infinite      3   idle gammagpu[01-03]
scavenger    up   infinite      2  drain tron[50-51]
scavenger    up   infinite     21    mix tron[00-01,03-15,46-49,52-53]
scavenger    up   infinite     31   idle tron[02,16-45]

tron*        up 3-00:00:00     31   idle tron[02,16-45]

scontrol

The scontrol command can be used to view the status/configuration of the nodes in the cluster. If passed specific node name(s) only information about those node(s) will be displayed, otherwise all nodes will be listed. To specify multiple nodes, separate each node name by a comma (no spaces).

[username@nexuscml00 ~]$ scontrol show nodes tron05,tron13

sacctmgr

The sacctmgr command shows cluster accounting information. One of the helpful commands is to list the available QoSes.

$ sacctmgr list qos format=Name,Priority,MaxWall,MaxJobsPU
      Name   Priority     MaxWall MaxJobsPU
