* The CC slurm configuration preferentially encourages whole-node jobs. Users should if possible request whole-nodes rather than per-core resources.

** 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.

* 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)) | * Quotas on <code>/project</code> are all 1 TB.

* 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.

Sometimes, users will see quota error on their project folders. This is because the group that owns the files is not the project group.

=== Nearline === | |||
* "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)) | |||
