A number of new Qlustar features were completed recently and published
together with the latest security updates.
QluMan 12.0.7.3 highly improves on its slurm management capabilities
basically making the slurm component feature complete. It adds
- Real SLURM QOS MANAGEMENT [1] in the GUI. QoS can now easily be added,
edited, removed and assigned. The full list of QoS properties may be
added/removed and manipulated including sanity checking the values
entered.
- SLURM ASSOCIATION AND LIMITS MANAGEMENT [2] has been added in the GUI
unleashing the power of advanced slurm resource management to QluMan
admins. Various visual filters have been created to achieve a
comprehensive display of slurm associations. The full list of
association settings may be added/removed and manipulated including
sanity checking the values entered.
* An 'LDAP GROUP <-> SLURM ACCOUNT' SYNC MECHANISM [3] has been designed
to automate slurm user setup upon creation of the user in LDAP. Slurm
accounts may be associated with LDAP groups such that depending on
users primary group the corresponding slurm account will be assigned
as their default.
* Cron-based LDAP DB BACKUP was introduced to allow a disaster recovery
in case the LDAP DB becomes corrupted.
