Running Slurm batch jobs or interactive sessions on private nodes

To run Slurm jobs on private nodes you will need to specify at least one of:

• A Slurm Account

• A Slurm Partition

• A Slurm QoS (Quality of Service)

You will be told what to specify when you are granted access to the private nodes.

To start an interactive session on a private node you want something like the following:

srun --account=SOMEACCOUNT --partition=SOMEPARTITION --qos=SOMEQOS --pty /bin/bash -i

To submit a batch start that will run on private node(s) you want something like the following in your batch job submission script:

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --account=SOMEACCOUNT
#SBATCH --partition=SOMEPARTITION
#SBATCH --qos=SOMEQOS
