NAME
burst_buffer.conf - Slurm configuration file for burst buffer management.DESCRIPTION
burst_buffer.conf is an ASCII file which describes the configuration of burst buffer resource management. This file is only required on the head node(s), where the slurmctld daemon executes. The file location can be modified at system build time using the DEFAULT_SLURM_CONF parameter or at execution time by setting the SLURM_CONF environment variable. The file will always be located in the same directory as the slurm.conf file. In order to support multiple configuration files for multiple burst buffer plugins, the configuration file may alternately be given a name containing the plugin name. For example, if "burst_buffer.conf" is not found, the burst_buffer/datawarp configuration could be read from a file named "burst_buffer_datawarp.conf".Parameter names are case insensitive. Any text following a "#" in the configuration file is treated as a comment through the end of that line. Changes to the configuration file take effect upon restart of Slurm daemons, daemon receipt of the SIGHUP signal, or execution of the command "scontrol reconfigure".
The configuration parameters available include:
- AllowUsers
-
Comma separated list of user names and/or IDs permitted to use burst buffers.
The options AllowUsers and DenyUsers can not both be specified.
By default all users are permitted to use burst buffers.
- DefaultPool
- Name of the pool used by default for resource allocations. The default value is the first pool reported by the burst buffer infrastructure. This option is only used by the burst_buffer/datawarp plugin.
- DenyUsers
-
Colon delimited list of user names and/or IDs prevented from using burst buffers.
The options AllowUsers and DenyUsers can not both be specified.
By default all users are permitted to use burst buffers.
- Flags
-
String used to control various functions.
Multiple options may be comma separated.
Supported options include:
-
- DisablePersistent
- Prevents regular users from being able to create and destroy persistent burst buffers. This is the default behaviour, only privileged users (Slurm operators and administrators) can create or destroy persistent burst buffers.
- EmulateCray
- Emulating a Cray DataWarp system using the dw_wlm_cli script in the burst_buffer/datawarp plugin.
- EnablePersistent
- Enables regular users to create and destroy persistent burst buffers. By default, only privileged users (Slurm operators and administrators) can create or destroy persistent burst buffers.
- PrivateData
- If set, then only Slurm operators and the burst buffer owner can see burst buffer data.
- SetExecHost
- If using Cray DataWarp version CLE.6.0.UP07 or later, this flag may be set to notify DataWarp of the login node for an interactive jobs. This changes behavior such that the login node will be given access to the DataWarp burst buffers.
- TeardownFailure
- If set, then teardown a burst buffer after file staging error. Otherwise preserve the burst buffer for analysis and manual teardown.
-
- GetSysState
- Fully qualified path name of a program which will return the current burst buffer state. For the DataWarp plugin, this should be the path of the dw_wlm_cli command and its default value is /opt/cray/dw_wlm/default/bin/dw_wlm_cli.
- GetSysStatus
-
Fully qualified path name of a program which will return the current burst
buffer status.
For the DataWarp plugin, this should be the path of the dwstat command
and its default value is /opt/cray/dws/default/bin/dwstat.
- OtherTimeout
- If a burst buffer operation (other than job validation, stage in, or stage out) runs for longer than this number of seconds, the job will be placed in a held state. A Slurm administrator will be required to release the job. By default there is a 300 second (5 minute) timeout for these operations. Also see StageInTimeout, StageOutTimeout, and ValidateTimeout options.
- PrivateData
- If set to "true" then users will only be able to view burst buffers they can use. Slurm administrators will still be able to view all burst buffers. By default, users can view all burst buffers.
- StageInTimeout
- If the stage in of files for a job takes more than this number of seconds, the burst buffer will be released and the job will be placed in a held state. A Slurm administrator will be required to release the job. By default there is a one day timeout for the stage in process.
- StageOutTimeout
-
If the stage out of files for a job takes more than this number of seconds,
the burst buffer will be released and the job will be purged.
By default there is a one day timeout for the stage out process.
- ValidateTimeout
-
If the validation of a job submission request takes more than this number of
seconds, the submission will be rejected.
The value of ValidateTimeout must be less than the value of
MessageTimeout configured in the slurm.conf file or job submission
requests may fail with a response timeout error.
By default there is a 5 second timeout for the validation operations.
