* The CC slurm configuration preferentially encourages whole-node jobs. Users should if possible request whole-nodes rather than per-core resources. See [[Job_scheduling_policies#Whole_nodes_versus_cores;|Job Scheduling - Whole Node Scheduling]] ([[User:Pjmann|Patrick Mann]] 20:15, 17 July 2017 (UTC))
Problems that affect many users and are being investigated, such as a cluster-wide malfunction or outage, are on [https://status.alliancecan.ca/ the Alliance Status page]. This "Known issues" page describes problems that affect many users but that may take some time to repair, or are not planned for repair at this time. Problems that only affect a specific software package are described on the wiki page for that software package.  
** Cpu and Gpu backfill partitions have been created on both clusters. If a job is submitted with <24hr runtime, it will be automatically entered into the cluster-wide backfill partition. This partition has a low priority, but will allow increased utilization of the cluster by serial jobs. ([[User:Nathanw|Nathan Wielenga]])
* Quotas on <code>/project</code> are all 1 TB. The Storage National team is working on a project/RAC based schema. Fortunately Lustre have announced group-based quotas but that will need installation. ([[User:Pjmann|Patrick Mann]] 20:12, 17 July 2017 (UTC))
* SLURM epilog does not fully clean up processes from ended jobs, especially if the job did not exit normally.    ([[User:Gbnewby|Greg Newby]]) Fri Jul 14 19:32:48 UTC 2017)
* The SLURM 'sinfo' command yields different resource-type detail on graham and cedar.    ([[User:Gbnewby|Greg Newby]]) 16:05, 23 June 2017 (UTC))
* The status page at http://status.computecanada.ca/ is not updated automatically yet, so does not necessarily show correct, current status.
* "Nearline" capabilities are not yet available (see https://docs.computecanada.ca/wiki/National_Data_Cyberinfrastructure for a brief description of the intended functionality)
** Update July 17: still not working. If you need your nearline RAC2017 quota then please ask [mailto:support@computecanada.ca CC support]. ([[User:Pjmann|Patrick Mann]] 20:45, 17 July 2017 (UTC))
* Operations will occasionally time out with a message like "Socket timed out on send/recv operation" or "Unable to contact slurm controller (connect failure)". As a temporary workaround, attempt to resubmit your jobs/commands, they should go through in a few seconds. ([[User:Nathanw|Nathan Wielenga]]) 08:50, 18 July 2017 (MDT))
** Should be resolved after a VHD migration to a new backend for slurmctl. (NW)
* Auto-creation of project directories such as /project/$USER was an interim solution. Soon there will be /project/gid where gid is the project group identifier.  This will be symlinked to /project/projects/pname where pname is the "friendly" project (RAPI) name).  And then, /project/gid/$USER can be where user subdirectories for that project will live. Note that quotas in /project are project-based, not user-based.  ([[User:Gbnewby|Greg Newby]]) Thu Jul 20 00:45:00 UTC 2017)
