.TH scontrol "1" "Slurm Commands" "November 2024" "Slurm Commands"

.SH "NAME"
scontrol \- view or modify Slurm configuration and state.

.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBscontrol\fR [\fIOPTIONS\fR...] [\fICOMMAND\fR...]

.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.
.IP

.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 \fBslurmdbd\fR must be up for this option to work properly, unless
running in a federation with either \fBFederationParameters=fed_display\fR
configured or the \fB\-\-federation\fR option set.
This option implicitly sets the \fB\-\-local\fR option.
.IP

.TP

data_parser with parameters. All information is dumped, even if it would
normally not be. Sorting and formatting arguments passed to other options are
ignored; however, most filtering arguments are still used. This option is not
available for every command.
This option implicitly sets the \fB\-\-details\fR option.

.IP

.SH "COMMANDS"

.TP
\fBcancel_reboot\fR <\fINodeList\fR>
Cancel pending reboots on nodes. The node will be undrain'ed and the reason
cleared if the node was drained by an ASAP reboot.
.IP

.TP
\fBcreate\fR <\fISPECIFICATION\fR>
Create a new node, partition, or reservation. See the full list of parameters
below.

.TP
\fBdelete\fR <\fISPECIFICATION\fR>
Delete the entry with the specified \fISPECIFICATION\fP.
The three \fISPECIFICATION\fP choices are \fINodeName=<nodelist>\fP,
\fIPartitionName=<name>\fP and \fIReservationName=<name>\fP. Only dynamic nodes
that have no running jobs and that are not part of a reservation can be
deleted. 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.
.IP

.IP

.TP
\fBhelp\fR
Display a description of scontrol options and commands.
.IP

.TP
\fBhold\fR <\fIjob_list\fR>
Prevent a pending job from being started (sets its priority to 0).
Use the \fIrelease\fP command to permit the job to be scheduled.
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.
Note that when a job is held by a system administrator using the \fBhold\fP
command, only a system administrator may release the job for execution (also
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.
.IP

.TP
\fBnotify\fR <\fIjob_id\fR> <\fImessage\fR>
Send a message to standard error of the salloc or srun command or batch job
associated with the specified \fIjob_id\fP.
.IP

.TP
\fBpidinfo\fR <\fIproc_id\fR>
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.
.IP

.TP
\fBlistjobs\fR [<\fINodeName\fR>]
Print jobs running on the host that runs this. This contacts any slurmstepd's
running locally, and does not contact slurmctld

Use <\fINodeName\fR> if using --enable-multiple-slurmd.
.IP

.TP
\fBlistpids\fR [<\fIjob_id\fR>[.<\fIstep_id\fR>]] [<\fINodeName\fR>]
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.
.IP

.TP
\fBliststeps\fR [<\fINodeName\fR>]
Print steps running on the host that runs this. This contacts any slurmstepd's
running locally, and does not contact slurmctld

Use <\fINodeName\fR> if using --enable-multiple-slurmd.
.IP

.TP
\fBping\fR
Ping the primary and secondary slurmctld daemon and report if
they are responding.
.IP

.TP
\fBpower\fR  {up|down} [asap|force] {ALL|<\fINodeList\fR>|<\fINodeSet\fR>}
Control power state of the provided node list/set. For 'power down', the
optional ASAP/FORCE flag will be added to the power down request, but will
otherwise be rejected for power up requests. All arguments will be processed
insensitive of case except for the node list/set. This subcommand obsoletes the
prior usage of scontrol's update command:

scontrol update NodeName=<\fInodes\fR>
                State={POWER_UP|POWER_DOWN|POWER_DOWN_ASAP|POWER_DOWN_FORCE}

.RS
Commands:
.TP
\fBdown\fR
Will use the configured \fISuspendProgram\fR program to explicitly place
node(s) into power saving mode. If a node is already in the process of being
powered down, the command will only change the state of the node but won't have
any effect until the configured \fISuspendTimeout\fR is reached. Use of this
command can be useful in situations where a \fIResumeProgram\fR, like
\fIcapmc\fR in Cray machines, is stalled and one wants to restore the node to
"IDLE" manually. In this case rebooting the node and setting the state to
"power down" will cancel the previous "power up" state and the node will become
"IDLE".
.IP

.TP
\fBdown asap\fR
Will drain the node(s) and mark them for power down. Currently running jobs
will complete first and no additional jobs will be allocated to the node(s).
.IP

.TP
\fBdown force\fR
Will cancel all jobs on the node(s), power them down, and reset their state to
"IDLE".
.IP

.TP
\fBup\fR
Will use the configured \fIResumeProgram\fR program to explicitly move node(s)
out of power saving mode. If a node is already in the process of being powered
up, the command will only change the state of the node but won't have any
effect until the configured \fIResumeTimeout\fR is reached.

.RE

.IP

.TP
\fBreboot\fR [ASAP] [nextstate={RESUME|DOWN}] [reason=<\fIreason\fR>] {ALL|\
<\fINodeList\fR>|<\fINodeSet\fR>}
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 "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).
"ASAP" will also set the node reason to "Reboot ASAP" if the "reason" option
isn't specified and will set nextstate=UNDRAIN if nextstate isn't specified.
If the "nextstate" option is specified
as "DOWN", then the node will remain in a down state after rebooting. If
"nextstate" is specified as "RESUME", then the nodes will resume as normal
and the node's reason and "DRAIN" state will be cleared.
Resuming nodes will be considered as available in
backfill future scheduling and won't be replaced by idle nodes in a reservation.
The "reason" option sets each node's reason to a user\-defined message.
A default reason of "reboot requested" is set if no other reason is set on the
node.
The reason will be appended with: "reboot issued" when the reboot is issued;
"reboot complete" when the node registers and has a "nextstate" of "DOWN"; or
"reboot timed out" when the node fails to register within \fBResumeTimeout\fR.
You must specify either a list of nodes or that ALL nodes are to be rebooted.

\fBNOTE\fR: The reboot request will be ignored for hosts in the following
states: FUTURE, POWER_DOWN, POWERED_DOWN, POWERING_DOWN, REBOOT_ISSUED,
REBOOT_REQUESTED

\fBNOTE\fR: 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.
.IP

.TP
\fBreconfigure\fR
Instruct all slurmctld and slurmd daemons to re\-read the configuration file.
This mechanism can be used to modify configuration parameters set in
\fBslurm.conf\fR(5) without interrupting running jobs.
Starting in 23.11, this command operates by creating new processes for the
daemons, then passing control to the new processes when or if they
start up successfully. This allows it to gracefully catch configuration
problems and keep running with the previous configuration if there is a problem.
This will \fBnot\fR be able to change the daemons' listening TCP port settings
or authentication mechanism.
.IP

.TP
\fBrelease\fR <\fIjob_list\fR>
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 release all jobs having
that name.
Also see \fBhold\fR.
.IP

.TP
\fBrequeue\fR  [<\fIoption\fR>] <\fIjob_list\fR>
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:
.IP
.RS
.TP
\fBIncomplete\fR
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
.IP

.TP
\fBrequeuehold\fR [<\fIoption\fR>] <\fIjob_list\fR>
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.
"scontrol release <job_id>"). The command accepts the following options:
.IP
.RS
.TP
\fBIncomplete\fR
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.
.IP

.TP
\fBState\fR=SpecialExit
The "SpecialExit" keyword specifies that the job
has to be put in a special state \fBJOB_SPECIAL_EXIT\fP.
The "scontrol show job" command will display the JobState as
\fBSPECIAL_EXIT\fP, while the "squeue" command as \fBSE\fP.
.RE
.IP

.TP
\fBresume\fR <\fIjob_list\fR>
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.
Only an account coordinator, operator, administrator, SlurmUser, or root can
resume jobs.
.IP

.TP
\fBschedloglevel\fR <\fILEVEL\fR>
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.
.IP

.TP
\fBsetdebug\fR <\fILEVEL\fR> [nodes=<\fINODES\fR>]
Change the debug level of the slurmctld daemon for all active logging channels
not originally configured off (quiet).
\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 daemon reads the
slurm.conf configuration file. (Such as when the daemon is restarted or
\fBscontrol reconfigure\fR is executed).
.IP
.RS
.TP
\fBnodes\fR=<\fINodeName\fR>
If set, the request to change debug level is sent to the slurmd processes on
the nodes instead of to the slurmctld. A node range expression may be used for
NodeName.
.RE
.IP

.TP
\fBsetdebugflags\fR {+|\-}<\fIFLAG\fR> [{+|\-}<\fIFLAG\fR>] [nodes=<\fINODES\fR>]
Add or remove DebugFlags of the slurmctld daemon.
See "man slurm.conf" for a list of supported DebugFlags.

\fBNOTE\fR: 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 or the \fBSLURM_DEBUG_FLAGS\fR
environment variable. The environment variable takes precedence over the
setting in the slurm.conf.
.IP
.RS
.TP
\fBnodes\fR=<\fINodeName\fR>
The argument is optional and if used the request to change debug level
is sent to slurmd instead of slurmctld. A node range expression may be
used for NodeName.
.RE
.IP

.TP
\fBshow\fR <\fIENTITY\fR>[=<\fIID\fR>] or <\fIENTITY\fR> [<\fIID\fR>]
Display the state of the specified entity with the specified identification.
.IP
.RS
.TP
\fBaliases\fR
Returns all \fINodeName\fP values associated with 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).
.IP

.TP
\fBassoc_mgr\fR
Displays the current contents of the slurmctld's internal cache
for users, associations and/or qos. The output can be filtered by different
record types:
.IP
.RS
.TP
\fBusers\fR=<\fIuser1\fR>[...,<\fIuserN\fR>]
Limit the User Records displayed to those with the specified user name(s).
.IP

.TP
\fBaccounts\fR=<\fIacct1\fR>[...,<\fIacctN\fR>]

all record types are displayed.
.RE
.IP

.TP
\fBbbstat\fR
Displays output from the current burst buffer plugin's status tool
(slurm_bb_get_status for lua or dwstat for datawarp). Options following
\fBbbstat\fR are passed directly to the status tool by the slurmctld daemon
and the response returned to the user. Equivalent to \fBdwstat\fR.
.IP

.TP
\fBburstbuffer\fR
Displays the current status of the BurstBuffer plugin.
.IP

.TP
\fBconfig\fR
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).
.IP

.TP
\fBdaemons\fR
Reports which daemons should be running on this node.
.IP

.TP
\fBdwstat\fR
Displays output from the current burst buffer plugin's status tool
(slurm_bb_get_status for lua or dwstat for datawarp). Options following
\fBdwstat\fR are passed directly to the status tool by the slurmctld daemon
and the response returned to the user. Equivalent to \fBbbstat\fR.
.IP

.TP
\fBfederation\fR
The federation name that the controller is part of and the
sibling clusters part of the federation will be listed.
.IP

.TP
\fBfrontend\fR
Shows configured frontend nodes.
.IP

.TP
\fBhostlist\fR
Takes a list of host names and prints the hostlist expression for them (the
inverse of \fBhostnames\fR). \fBhostlist\fR can also take the absolute pathname
of a file (beginning with the character '/') containing a list of hostnames,
or a single '-' to have it read from stdin directly.
Multiple node names may be specified using simple node range expressions (e.g.
"lx[10\-20]"). By default \fBhostlist\fR 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
\fBhostlistsorted\fR (e.g. tux2,tux1,tux2 = tux[1\-2,2]).
.IP

.TP
\fBhostlistsorted\fR
Takes a list of host names and prints a sorted (but not unique) hostlist
expression for them. See \fBhostlist\fR.
.IP

.TP
\fBhostnames\fR
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).
.IP

.TP
\fBjob\fR
Displays statistics about all jobs by default. If an optional jobid is
specified, details for just that job will be displayed.
If the job does not specify socket\-per\-node, cores\-per\-socket or
threads\-per\-core then it will display '*' in the ReqS:C:T=*:*:* field.
.IP

.TP
\fBlicenses\fR
Displays statistics about all configured licenses (local and remote) by
default. If an optional license name is specified, details for just that
license will be displayed.

.TP
\fBnode\fR
Displays statistics about all nodes by default. If an optional nodename is
specified, details for just that node will be displayed.
.IP

.TP
\fBpartition\fR
Displays statistics about all partitions by default. If an optional partition
name is specified, details for just that partition will be displayed.
.IP

.TP
\fBreservation\fR
Displays statistics about all reservations by default. If an optional
reservation name is specified, details for just that reservation will be
displayed.
.IP

.TP
\fBslurmd\fR
Displays statistics for the slurmd running on the current node.
.IP

.TP
\fBstep\fR
Displays statistics about all job steps by default. If an optional jobid
is specified, details about steps for just that job will be displayed.
If a jobid.stepid is specified, details for just that step will be displayed.
If a container-id=<\fIid\fR> is specified, then the first matching step with
the given container-id will be displayed.
.IP

.TP
\fBtopology\fR
Displays information about the defined topology layout. If a switch is
specified, information about that switch will be shown.
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.
.RE
.IP

.TP
\fBshutdown\fR <\fIOPTION\fR>
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
only the slurmctld daemon being shutdown and the slurmd daemons
remaining active.
.IP

.TP
\fBsuspend\fR <\fIjob_list\fR>
Suspend a running job.
The job_list argument is a comma separated list of job IDs.
Use the \fIresume\fP command to resume its execution.
User processes must stop on receipt of SIGSTOP signal and resume
upon receipt of SIGCONT for this operation to be effective.
Not all architectures and configurations support job suspension.
If a suspended job is requeued, it will be placed in a held state.
The time a job is suspended will not count against a job's time limit.
Only an account coordinator, operator, administrator, SlurmUser, or root can
suspend jobs.
.IP

.TP
\fBtakeover\fR [<\fIINDEX\fR>]
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.)
.IP

.TP
\fBtop\fR <\fIjob_list\fR>
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.
.IP

.TP
\fBtoken\fR [lifespan=<\fIlifespan\fR>] [username=<\fIusername\fR>]
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 in seconds. \fBusername\fP (only available to SlurmUser/root)
may be used to request a token for a different username. Lifespan can be set to
"infinite" to have a token that will not expire. Sites are suggested to use the
smallest lifespan required and generate tokens more often instead of using
longer lived tokens.
.IP

.TP
\fBuhold\fR <\fIjob_list\fR>
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).
.IP

\fBupdate\fR <\fISPECIFICATION\fR>
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
configuration values can be changed using this command, not all can be changed
using this mechanism. In particular, the hardware configuration of a node or
the physical addition or removal of nodes from the cluster may only be
accomplished through editing the Slurm configuration file and executing
the \fIreconfigure\fP command (described above).

.TP
\fBFeatures\fR=<\fIfeatures\fR>
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=".

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

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.

\fBSuspendTime\fR
Time the job was last suspended or resumed.

NOTE on information displayed for various job states:
When you submit a request for the "show job" function the scontrol
process makes an RPC request call to slurmctld with a REQUEST_JOB_INFO
message type. If the state of the job is PENDING, then it returns
some detail information such as: min_nodes, min_procs, cpus_per_task,
etc. If the state is other than PENDING the code assumes that it is in
a further state such as RUNNING, COMPLETE, etc. In these cases the
code explicitly returns zero for these values. These values are
meaningless once the job resources have been allocated and the job has
started.

\fBActiveFeatures\fR=<\fIfeatures\fR>
Identify the feature(s) currently active on the specified node.
Any previously active feature specification will be overwritten with the new

Also see \fIAvailableFeatures\fP.
Typically \fIActiveFeatures\fP will be identical to \fIAvailableFeatures\fP;
however \fIActiveFeatures\fP may be configured as a subset of the
\fIAvailableFeatures\fP. For example, a node may be booted in multiple
configurations. In that case, all possible configurations may be identified as
\fIAvailableFeatures\fP, while \fIActiveFeatures\fP would identify the current
node configuration.
When updating the ActiveFeatures with scontrol, the change is only made in
slurmctld. When using a node_features plugin the state/features of the node
must be updated on the node such that a new node start will report the updated
state/features.
.IP

\fBGres\fR=<\fIgres\fR>
Identify generic resources to be associated with the specified node. Any
previously defined generic resources will be overwritten with the new value.
Specifications for multiple generic resources should be comma separated.
Each resource specification consists of a name followed by an optional
colon with a numeric value (default value is one) (e.g. "Gres=bandwidth:10000").
Modification of GRES count associated with specific files (e.g. GPUs) is not
allowed other than to set their count on a node to zero.
In order to change the GRES count to another value, modify your slurm.conf and
gres.conf files and restart daemons.
If GRES are associated with specific sockets, that information will be reported
For example if all 4 GPUs on a node are all associated with socket zero, then
"Gres=gpu:4(S:0)". If associated with sockets 0 and 1 then "Gres=gpu:4(S:0\-1)".
The information of which specific GPUs are associated with specific GPUs is not
reported, but only available by parsing the gres.conf file.
Generic resources assigned via \fBscontrol\fR will only persist across the
restart of the slurmctld daemon with the \fI\-R\fR option and state files

"/bin/hostname \-f" (e.g. "foo1.bar.com"), or any valid domain name associated
with the host through the host database (/etc/hosts) or DNS, depending on the
resolver settings. Note that if the short form of the hostname is not used, it
may prevent use of hostlist expressions (the numeric portion in brackets must be
at the end of the string). A node range expression can be used to specify a set
of nodes. If an expression is used, the number of nodes identified by
\fINodeHostname\fP must be identical to the number of nodes identified by
\fINodeName\fP.

\fBPOWERING_DOWN\fR state of a node and make it eligible to be allocated.
.IP

.TP
\fBUNDRAIN\fR
Clears the node from being drained (like \fBRESUME\fR), but will
not change the node's base state (e.g. \fBDOWN\fR). \fBUNDRAIN\fR requires a

\fBOverSubscribe\fR={yes|no|exclusive|force}[:<\fIjob_count\fR>]
Specify if compute resources (i.e. individual CPUs) in this partition can be
shared by multiple jobs.
Possible values are "YES", "NO", "EXCLUSIVE" and "FORCE".
An optional job count specifies how many jobs can be allocated to use
each resource.

\fBOverTimeLimit\fR=<\fIcount\fR>
Number of minutes by which a job can exceed its time limit before
being canceled.
The configured job time limit is treated as a \fIsoft\fR limit.
Adding \fBOverTimeLimit\fR to the \fIsoft\fR limit provides a \fIhard\fR
limit, at which point the job is canceled.
This is particularly useful for backfill scheduling, which bases upon
each job's soft time limit.
A partition\-specific \fIOverTimeLimit\fP will override any global
\fIOverTimeLimit\fP value.
If not specified, the global \fIOverTimeLimit\fP value will take precedence.
May not exceed 65533 minutes.
An input value of "UNLIMITED" will clear any previously configured
partition\-specific \fIOverTimeLimit\fP value.

.SH "RESERVATIONS \- SPECIFICATIONS FOR CREATE, UPDATE, AND DELETE COMMANDS"

.TP
\fBReservationName\fR=<\fIname\fR>
Identify the name of the reservation to be created, updated, or deleted.
This parameter is required for update and is the only parameter for delete.
For create, if you do not want to give a reservation name, use
"scontrol create reservation ..." and a name will be created automatically.
.IP

.TP
\fBAccounts\fR=<\fIaccount list\fR>
List of accounts permitted to use the reserved nodes, for example
"Accounts=physcode1,physcode2".
A user in any of the specified accounts or subaccounts may use the reserved
nodes. A new reservation must specify Users or Groups and/or Accounts.
If both Users/Groups and Accounts are specified, a job must match both in order
to use the reservation.
Accounts can also be denied access to reservations by preceding all of the
account names with '\-'. Alternately precede the equal sign with '\-'.
For example, "Accounts=\-physcode1,\-physcode2" or "Accounts\-=physcode1,physcode2"
will permit any account except physcode1 and physcode2 to use the reservation.
You can add or remove individual accounts from an existing reservation by
using the update command and adding a '+' or '\-' sign before the '=' sign.
If accounts are denied access to a reservation (account name preceded by a '\-'),
then all other accounts are implicitly allowed to use the reservation and it is
not possible to also explicitly specify allowed accounts.
Root and the SlurmUser are given access to all reservations, regardless of the
accounts set here.
.IP

.TP
\fBBurstBuffer\fR=<\fIbuffer_spec\fR>[,<\fIbuffer_spec\fR>,...]
Specification of burst buffer resources which are to be reserved.
"buffer_spec" consists of four elements:
[plugin:][type:]#[units]
"plugin" is the burst buffer plugin name, currently either "datawarp" or
"generic".
If no plugin is specified, the reservation applies to all configured burst
buffer plugins.
"type" specifies a Cray generic burst buffer resource, for example "nodes".
if "type" is not specified, the number is a measure of storage space.
The "units" may be "N" (nodes), "K|KiB", "M|MiB", "G|GiB", "T|TiB", "P|PiB"
(for powers of 1024) and "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB", "PB" (for powers of 1000).
The default units are bytes for reservations of storage space.
For example "BurstBuffer=datawarp:2TB" (reserve 2TB of storage plus
3 nodes from the Cray plugin) or
"BurstBuffer=100GB" (reserve 100 GB of storage from all configured burst buffer
plugins).
Jobs using this reservation are not restricted to these burst buffer resources,
but may use these reserved resources plus any which are generally available.
\fBNOTE\fR: Usually Slurm interprets KB, MB, GB, TB, PB units as powers of 1024,
but for Burst Buffers size specifications Slurm supports both IEC/SI formats.
This is because the CRAY API for managing DataWarps supports both formats.
.IP

.TP
\fBCoreCnt\fR=<\fInum\fR>
This option is only supported when
\fIselect/cons_tres\fP is used. Identify number of cores to be reserved.
If NodeCnt or Nodelist is used this is the total number of cores to reserve
where cores per node is CoreCnt/NodeCnt.
.IP

.TP
\fBLicenses\fR=<\fIlicense\fR>
Specification of licenses (or other resources available on all
nodes of the cluster) which are to be reserved.
License names can be followed by a colon and count
(the default count is one).
Multiple license names should be comma separated (e.g. "Licenses=foo:4,bar").
A new reservation must specify one or more resource to be included: NodeCnt,
Nodes and/or Licenses.
If a reservation includes Licenses, but no NodeCnt or Nodes, then the option
\fIFlags=LICENSE_ONLY\fP must also be specified.
Jobs using this reservation are not restricted to these licenses, but may
use these reserved licenses plus any which are generally available.
.IP

.TP
\fBMaxStartDelay\fR[=<\fItimespec\fR>]
Change MaxStartDelay value which specifies the maximum time an eligible job not
requesting this reservation can delay a job requesting it. Default is none.
Valid formats are minutes, minutes:seconds,
hours:minutes:seconds, days\-hours, days\-hours:minutes,
days\-hours:minutes:seconds. Time resolution is one minute and
second values are rounded up to the next minute. Output format is always
[days\-]hours:minutes:seconds.
.IP

.TP
\fBNodeCnt\fR=<\fInum\fR>[,<\fInum\fR>,...]
Identify number of nodes to be reserved. The number can include a suffix of
"k" or "K", in which case the number specified is multiplied by 1024.
A new reservation must specify one or more resource to be included: NodeCnt,
Nodes and/or Licenses.
.IP

.TP
\fBNodes\fR=<\fIname\fR>
Identify the node(s) to be reserved. Multiple node names
may be specified using simple node range expressions (e.g. "Nodes=lx[10\-20]").
When using \fBNodes\fR to specify more or fewer nodes, \fBNodeCnt\fR will be
updated to honor the new number of nodes. However, when setting an empty
list ("Nodes="), the nodelist will be filled with random nodes to
fulfill the previous nodecnt and the \fISPEC_NODES\fR flag will be removed.
A new reservation must specify one or more resource to be included: NodeCnt,
Nodes and/or Licenses. A specification of "ALL" will reserve all nodes. Set
\fIFlags=PART_NODES\fP and \fIPartitionName=\fP in order for changes in the
nodes associated with a partition to also be reflected in the nodes associated
with a reservation. You can add or remove nodes from an existing reservation by
adding a '+' or '\-' sign before the '=' sign. It also works to do
nodes=+lx0,\-lx[2\-4] if you want to remove lx[2\-4] and add lx0 at the same
time.

\fBNOTE\fR: When updating a reservation, if Nodes and Nodecnt are set
simultaneously, nodecnt will always be honored. The reservation will get a
subset of nodes if nodes > nodecnt, or it will add extra nodes to the list
when nodes < nodecnt.
.IP

.TP
\fBStartTime\fR=<\fItime_spec\fR>
The start time for the reservation. A new reservation must specify a start
time. It accepts times of the form \fIHH:MM:SS\fR for
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, \fIelevenses\fR (11 AM),
\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. You cannot update the \fIStartTime\fP of a reservation
in \fIACTIVE\fP state.

hours:minutes:seconds, days\-hours, days\-hours:minutes,
days\-hours:minutes:seconds, or UNLIMITED. Time resolution is one minute and
second values are rounded up to the next minute. Output format is always
[days\-]hours:minutes:seconds.
.IP

\fBPartitionName\fR=<\fIname\fR>
Partition used to reserve nodes from. This will attempt to allocate all
nodes in the specified partition unless you request fewer resources than
are available with \fICoreCnt\fR, \fINodeCnt\fR or \fITRES\fR. If no partition
is specified at submit time, this partition will override the job's default

\fBFLEX\fR
Permit jobs requesting the reservation to begin prior to the reservation's
start time, end after the reservation's end time, and use any resources inside
and/or outside of the reservation regardless of any constraints possibly set in
the reservation. A typical use case is to prevent jobs not explicitly
requesting the reservation from using those reserved resources rather than
forcing jobs requesting the reservation to use those resources in the time
frame reserved. Another use case could be to always have a particular number of
nodes with a specific feature reserved for a specific account so users in this
account may use this nodes plus possibly other nodes without this feature.

A new reservation must specify Users or Groups and/or Accounts.
If both Users/Groups and Accounts are specified, a job must match both in order
to use the reservation.
Unlike users groups do not allow denied access to reservations.
You can add or remove individual groups from an existing reservation by

Users can also be denied access to reservations by preceding all of the
user names with '\-'. Alternately precede the equal sign with '\-'.
For example, "User=\-jones1,\-smith2" or "User\-=jones1,smith2"

You can add or remove individual users from an existing reservation by
using the update command and adding a '+' or '\-' sign before the '=' sign.
If users are denied access to a reservation (user name preceded by a '\-'),

\fBTRES\fR=<\fItres_spec\fR>
Comma\-separated list of TRES required for the reservation. Current supported
TRES types with reservations are: CPU, GRES, Node, License and BB. CPU and Node
follow the same format as CoreCnt and NodeCnt parameters respectively.
License names can be followed by an equal '=' and a count:

License/<name1>=<count1>[,License/<name2>=<count2>,...]

BurstBuffer can be specified in a similar way as BurstBuffer parameter. The
only difference is that colon symbol ':' should be replaced by an equal '='
in order to follow the TRES format.

Some examples of TRES valid specifications:

TRES=cpu=5,bb/cray=4,license/iop1=1,license/iop2=3

TRES=node=5k,license/iop1=2

TRES=gres/gpu:a100=2

Please note that CPU, Node, License and BB can override CoreCnt, NodeCnt,
Licenses and BurstBuffer parameters respectively. Also CPU represents
CoreCnt, in a reservation and will be adjusted if you have threads per
core on your nodes.

Note that a reservation that contains nodes or cores is associated with
one partition, and can't span resources over multiple partitions.
The only exception from this is when
the reservation is created with explicitly requested nodes.

Note that if GRES is requested those GRES must be TRES listed in
AccountingStorageTRES to be valid.
